A Magical Day Trip to Neuschwanstein Castle from Munich
Additional cost to enter the castle – 15€
Right at the foot of the Bavarian Alps the marvellous Neuschwanstein Castle rises between mountains and trees. Commissioned in the 19th century by ‘Mad’ King Ludwig II, the castle is constructed in the style of Romanesque Revival – typically for the time. The entire Neuschwanstein Castle is surrounded by a mystical and enchanting atmosphere.
There are many myths about the ‘Fairy Tale King’ Ludwig II of Bavaria: about his madness, his extravagant lifestyle and his death. Figuratively speaking, our Neuschwanstein Castle Tour from Munich takes you back in time. But there is more to the castle than just history. The impressive building makes you feel like being inside a fairy tale: With righteous kings, wise queens and beautiful princesses seemingly just around the next corner. Therefore, it doesn’t surprise that Neuschwanstein Castle was the inspiration for Disney’s Sleeping Beauty Castle.

- Well organized day trip from Munich
- Comfortable arrival by bus / train
- English speaking and professional guides
