Thanks to the great support from the team at L A Hostel in Füssen, I was able to be very flexible. I had to time 2 bookings at almost the same time so that I was able to see both. Kind regards Franz P

Quickly got the tickets and a fun experience. This castle is more fun than the neuschwanstein and the audio tour informative.

Experience the majesty of Hohenschwangau Castle

Begin your journey into history with skip-the-line access to Hohenschwangau Castle, attracting over 1.3 million visitors annually. As you bypass the queues, absorb the grandeur of this 19th-century neo-Gothic masterpiece, also called the real-life Disney castle. Each room you visit bursts with intricate murals by renowned artists Moritz von Schwind and Ludwig Lindenschmidt, portraying the history of Germany and Bavaria. The multilingual audio guide, available in 13 languages, further enriches your understanding of the castle's fascinating past. Learn how despite being destroyed and rebuilt, it found new life in 1832 when King Maximilian of Bavaria transformed it into the royal family's summer abode.

Discover the enchanting gardens and chapel

Post the castle exploration, take a stroll through the castle's gardens. The sight of the swan fountain surrounded by multi-layered circular bushes is bound to leave you mesmerized. As you soak in the charm of the gardens and the stunning views of Lake Alpsee, enter the Chapel of Christ the King. The stained glass windows of the chapel, vividly depicting scenes from King Ludwig II's life, offer a serene and reflective end to your journey.
