Neuschwanstein Castle Tours: Day tours from Munich to Mad King Ludwig II´s Neuschwanstein Castle (at the end of the Romantic Road near Füssen)

The legendary Neuschwanstein Castle is an architectural masterpiece, idylically set atop a precipice among the Bavarian Alps just 90 min. south of Munich near the Austrian border.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Question: What time to do we get back to Munich?
Answer: When we go by bus we arrive back in Munich near Marienplatz at about 7:30 p.m.and by when we go by train we arrive back at the main station at about 7:45 p.m.

Question: Does one need to be in good condition to do the bike ride or the hike through the gorge?
Answer: First off, all of our activities are optional, so if one does not wish to or cannot for whatever reason, there are other possibilities. The bike ride does not include any hills and lasts for about 90 minutes, including several breaks. If you are pretty sure or even think you could make it, there is almost certainly no cause to worry, as it is easier than most would imagine it to be. The hike through the gorge is an uphill walk for about 40 minutes, with numerous opportunities to break. It is not much more strenuous than walking up the paved street for a good half hour. An option is to take a carriage ride up the street, so if you can´t make it, we´ll meet you up there. No worries!

Question: Is this tour appropriate for families with children?
Answer: When we go by bus we have an extra guide just to take care of families with children! Kids under 10 are FREE and those 10-14 are half price. If you want to do the bike tour with a child of 4 or younger, we have bikes with child seats. Kids that are too big for such a (rear mounted) seat that are also too small to ride an adult bike (about 14) would have a tough time on the bike tour. We recommend a paddle boat excursion on the nearby lake (the one in the photo behind the castle) or a visit to the adjacent Hohenschwangau Castle where Ludwig II grew up as a lad and dreamt of restoring the ruins of a much older castle that stood where Neuschwanstein is today; a dream which he (obviously) realised.
