Stop At: Schloss Neuschwanstein, Neuschwansteinstrasse 20, 87645 Schwangau, Bavaria Germany
NEUSCHWANSTEIN castle – dream destination for innumerable travelers from all over the world! No building in Germany is visited more often than Ludwigs most famous fairytale castle, whose construction was begun in 1869.
It was dedicated to Ludwig’s favorite composer Richard Wagner; the neo-Romanesque façade is deceptive that the progress made enthusiastic king build it as a high-tech castle.
During the 35-minute castle tour, you will be shown all the King’s completed living quarters. On the subsequent 15-minute walk to the exit, you will pass through one of the unfinished floors, after which you will see the unusually modern kitchen of the castle and the planned bathroom.
Due to the Corona crisis, the guided tours in the castle were reduced from 58 to 10 people; demand far exceeds supply. As a participant of our excursion, however, you will ALWAYS receive SKIP-THE-LINE tickets for the tour of the castle – EVEN AT SHORT NOTICE!
Your tour guide will also ensure that you are at the castle in time for the start of the tour. In addition, he can accompany you to the “Marienbrücke” view point and/or through the spectacular Pöllat Gorge (both – bridge and gorge – are temporarily closed due to rock securing work).
For people with limited walking capacity, the castle tour is not highly recommended at the moment. Since the lift in Neuschwanstein cannot be used due to corona, 346 steps (and at least 500m walk) have to be completed.
