Neuschwanstein

Take a trip to the fairy tale castle known as Neuschwanstein. Neuschwanstein (New Swan Rock) was opened up to the public 7 weeks after King Ludwig II passed away in 1886. Over 1.3 million people visit the castle every year. Take a bus ride or hike up to see this beautiful castle. I recommend the hike however if you are willing to take a bit of time (say 30-40 minutes) out of your day to see the beautiful scenery and enjoy the weather.

Tourist Information*
•Tickets to the castle can only be bought at Ticketcenter Hohenschwangau. This is before you arrive at the castle)
•If you are traveling with somebody disabled every Wednesday there is a special guided tour for people in wheelchairs or who use walkers.
•No smoking, photographing or filming is allowed inside the castle.
•Please deposit prams and bulky objects (back packs, etc) in the cloakroom.
•Dogs are not permitted in the castle.
•The rooms can only be visited as part of a guided tour.
