From Munich: Neuschwanstein Castle Full-Day Trip

From Munich: Neuschwanstein Castle Full-Day Trip

Discover one of Bavaria's most scenic landscapes on this tour from Munich by train and van. Marvel at the stature and delicate architecture of Neuschwanstein Castle standing proud atop a hill and surrounded by forested mountains. See the sprawling valley from the foot of the castle walls and learn about its history from your guide along a walking tour of the grounds. Located 2 hours from Munich, the enchanting old-world town of Füssen lies in the foothills of the Alps, framed by one of the most breathtaking natural settings in the world. Towering far above the village, seemingly sculpted out of the very mountains that rise magnificently to the heavens, is a sight made from the stuff of dreams: the fabulous and ethereal Neuschwanstein Castle. This glorious folly was built in the 19th-Century by the famed "mad" King Ludwig II, a man intoxicated by mythology and who himself became a legend. The shimmering white towers of the castle among the clouds are instantly recognizable to many who haven’t ever heard the name Neuschwanstein. It is the inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle and is famous the world over as the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang castle. To visit it is to step inside a fairy tale. On this full-day tour from Munich, your guide will take you by train or bus and accompany you uphill to the castle’s lofty perch, where it sits gleaming above a spectacular panorama of mountains, lakes, and valleys. It’s not just about the castle – it’s also about its wonderful location. You will go to the best vantage points and explore the lake. If time and weather permits, you can even enjoy a swim. Get postcard-perfect views of the equally beautiful Hohenschwangau Castle, the waterfall gorge, and the stunning Marienbrücke Bridge, suspended high above it all. While you are marveling at the beauty, your guide will tell you the engaging story of King Ludwig’s renowned and tragic reign, his turbulent times, and of the obsession that drove him to build his fantasy castle in the mountains that ultimately destroyed him. If you choose to purchase a ticket on the day, skip the long lines for the separate internal tour of the king’s private chambers by a specialist castle guide. The tour is the most practical way to admire this amazing fantasy world.

The excursion was great! Very well organized, the trip from Munich to Neuschwanstein Castle was by bus, about 2 hours, very pleasant through the snowy landscapes and comfortable; our great guide Jake, told us the history of the castle and Lüdwig II throughout the day, in a fun and captivating way. Jake was attentive to all the people in the group (about 40), he was great! Arrived in Schwangau, he collected the tickets then, after a detour by the lake for a few photos, we went up as a group to the castle; the climb is not difficult and takes less than half an hour (no shuttle that day because of the snow). The interior and exterior of the castle are magnificent!!! Great excursion that I recommend!

Jeremy was absolutely fantastic! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and has a knack for making history come alive in a way that’s both engaging and easy to follow. His passion for sharing every little detail really shines through, and he makes history something you actually want to listen to. While Anna wasn’t our guide for the tour, she was equally amazing. She went out of her way to recommend some excellent restaurants, which made our experience even better. Together, they make a great team!”

very nice tour thanks to our guide who was very gentle and kind, she was well prepared in her explanations on the historician facts of the city and on the castle in particular. she managed also to take us back in town from the castle with the horse wagen, which was very funny and relaxing.

Excellent tour guide and we had amazing weather, couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Steven was very knowledgeable and provided a nice overview of the history of the castle.
