Overview
Named the 8th wonder of the world, Neuschwanstein Castle is Germany’s most famous sight. A fantastical castle on a mountain perch in the Bavarian Alps, our Neuschwanstein Castle Tour has inspired and amazed generations of visitors, among them Walt Disney. The castle from a fairy tale simply has to be seen to be believed – and the best way to do so is with our hassle-free day trip in the company of an expert guide who will take care of all arrangements and make sure you skip the long line to go inside.
The beautiful old town of Füssen, a short two hour journey from Munich, lies at the gateway to the Bavarian Alps. Just outside town, the picturesque old royal district of Hohenschwangau is framed with mountains, forests and lakes. Here, Hohenschwangau Castle can be found, the boyhood home of the future King Ludwig II. Above it, soaring to the sky from its lofty seat in the mountains, his great creation: Neuschwanstein Castle. Neuschwanstein is the most iconic sight in Bavaria and Germany.
Germany’s number one visitor attraction – “mad” king Ludwig II’s fairy tale castle among the clouds.
Ludwig, the most famous of the Bavarian kings, dotted the Bavarian countryside with spectacular royal building projects such as Linderhof Palace. But none outshine Neuschwanstein Castle. From the outside, Neuschwanstein looks like an impossible vision. All around are spectacular views of the Bavarian Alps, forests, lakes, the town of Füssen in the distance, and a stunning aerial view of Hohenschwangau Castle. Visit the castle interior and marvel at the sumptuously decorated rooms dedicted to the artistic glorification of medieval German Romance and the operas of Richard Wagner, such as in the elaborate and imposing Throne Hall, and you feel you have wandered into a movie.
Neuschwanstein Castle is the absolute ‘must-see’ experience for any visitor to Bavaria. We have been organising day trips to Neuschwanstein for many years, and are experts in giving you your perfect day in Neuschwanstein Castle. And we know it’s not just about Neuschwanstein. It’s about the stunning Bavarian scenery around the castle, and the history of Bavaria that is written into Neuschwanstein. To appreciate Neuschwanstein Castle, you need to understand its place in the history and culture of Germany, and your expert guide will help with that.
Our Neuschwanstein Castle Tour starts right in the center of Munich at the Radius Tours Office. We take you by train directly to Neuschwanstein Castle. It’s only a two-hour ride from Munich. During the ride, our trained guides provide you with some interesting facts and historical background knowledge.
Throughout the whole Neuschwanstein Castle Tour, our specialized guides take care of you. We only provide you with specially trained guides who are fluent in English. They happily answer all your questions. While marveling at the stunning castle, beautiful landscape, and magical atmosphere, your guide tells you all about the impressive reign and tragic story of King Ludwig II.
On our Neuschwanstein Castle Tour, you’re not just getting a trip to the castle. Sure, the castle is the main event of the day tour. But the beauty of the Neuschwanstein Castle also unfolds from the distance. Therefore we also take you to the best vantage points. Take a perfect picture of the equally beautiful but less famous Hohenschwangau Castle.
You get a perfect view of the Neuschwanstein Castle from a bridge which is about 98 feet (30 meters) high. The Marienbrücke is famous for its views and a popular tourist spot. You also get to enjoy the typical Bavarian landscape and the spectacular panorama of mountains. If time and weather permit, we can even visit the lovely lake at the foot of the castle and try the water for a swim. You can also enjoy an easy hike through a beautiful canyon, in which you can see some small waterfalls. Just take in the beautiful scenery.
