The visit was well arranged and easy to book. Very commercially set up though and all focused on a quick turnaround. Too bad you actually had too little time to look properly.....or the group turned out to be too big.

It was wonderful to have an English speaking guide, Steven, that we could completely understand and that was so knowledgeable! He covered the history incredibly well and answered our questions. Was super helpful getting us to all the places we needed to be on time.

Despite getting there an hour early, there was not bus to take us up. My wife was really wiped out by the climb. The tour was excellent but fairly quick. Would have appreciated more detail.

Your experience

A fairytale castle

Located in the village of Schwangau, enter the wonderful Neuschwanstein Castle. Opened to the public in 1886, the Romanesque Revival-style structure is surrounded by a magical and fascinating ambiance with views of the lake, waterfall gorge, and the 19th-century Hohenschwangau Castle. You'll actually feel like you're walking inside a fairy tale dream! An audio guide available in 19 languages gives you a deeper insight into the castle and its history.

Built by Bavarian ruler, King Ludwig II, Neuschwanstein Castle has a magnificent limestone facade and its interior is as beautiful as its outside with 14 rooms. The rooms were majestically decorated at Ludwig II’s sudden death in 1886. Make sure to visit the 2-story throne room which has a Byzantine-style design with wall paintings depicting angels.
