Hohenschwangau

Hohenschwangau, Bavaria

After another hour of driving through the beautiful Upper Bavarian landscape, we approach the Alps and can see the towers of Neuschwanstein at an altitude of around 1000m. We soon reach the small village of Hohenschwangau, which is the starting point to Neuschwanstein Castle (and also Hohenschwangau Castle). Your guide will provide you with skip-the-line tickets to Neuschwanstein Castle and a very detailed map of the area.

10 minutes

Schloss Neuschwanstein

Neuschwansteinstrasse 20, Schwangau, 87645, Bavaria

Neuschwanstein Castle remained unfinished due to the early and mysterious death of its builder, King Ludwig II of Bavaria, and is certainly one of the most visited sights in Germany for this reason.
Because of the Corona crisis, tours of the castle have been reduced from 58 to 35 people, and therefore demand far exceeds supply. However, as a participant in our excursion, you will always receive tickets for the castle tour without any waiting times!

Your tour guide will also ensure that you are at the castle in time for the start of the tour.

1 hour, 45 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Marienbrücke

Marienbrücke, 87645 Schwangau, Germany

In snow and ice, both the Marienbrücke bridge and the shuttle bus service are closed there.

Altstadt von Fuessen

, , Fussen, 87629, Bavaria

(OPTIONAL - only when booking the 11-hour tour duration "XXL-Time Credit") ***** This extremely charming medieval town can look back on a 2,000-year history. As the favourite seat of the Habsburg Emperor Maximilian I, Füssen experienced its first heyday at the beginning of the 16th century; the "Hohe Burg" - one of Bavaria's best-preserved medieval castles - was decorated with unusually rich architectural and illusion paintings as early as 1499. Take a stroll through narrow streets and be enchanted by the well-preserved city walls, crooked houses and the Italian-looking former monastery complex with its magnificent Baroque church. Enjoy a refreshment in one of the numerous outdoor cafes or the numerous shopping opportunities.

Details & Important Info

Additional Experience Details & Important Information

Specialized infant seats are available
Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
Suitable for all physical fitness levels
Can you walk the slightly uphill asphalt path from the car park to Neuschwanstein Castle - approx. 1.5 km within an hour? If not, an additional (waiting) time requirement for the horse-drawn hybrid carriage or the shuttle bus must be taken into account. In any case, you still have to walk about 450 meters (with a gradient of up to 15%) or around 500m (with a gradient of up to 19%) from the respective final stop to the castle entrance. The shuttle bus does not run during snow and ice. We would be happy to accompany you so that you can reach your tour on time.
There are a total of 346 stairs (up and down) to climb in Neuschwanstein Castle. If this is too much for you, and if you have a corresponding medical certificate stating that you are unable to walk or have limited mobility, etc. (must be scanned and sent to us in advance), we can arrange an exclusive lift service just for you with a maximum of one companion, accompanied by Castle staff, book. The elevator service is at no additional cost, but (due to fire regulations) the number of tours with this service is very limited and must be reconfirmed by the castle authorities.
Neuschwanstein Castle can also be reached with strollers, but neither they nor other larger items of luggage (e.g. baby carriages, larger backpacks) are allowed during the castle tour.
If you plan to spend a longer period of time outdoors on the Zugspitze, please remember to wear suitable clothing (temperature differences of 20°C/68°F between mountain and valley are not uncommon!). For those who would like to try out the sleds, we recommend a change of clothing. Please also remember sunglasses and sun cream!
