Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The enchanting Herrenchiemsee Castle, also known as the Bavarian Versailles, was built by the mad King Ludwig II of Bavaria in 1878. The castle stands in the middle of Bavaria's largest lake, Chiemsee, and is surrounded by a beautiful park with many fountains, statues and floral decorations. The luxurious building was modelled on Versailles with the idea of creating a 'temple of glory' for the French King Louis XIV, whom the Bavarian monarch admired. The royal interiors are inlaid with gold, the Hall of Mirrors is even larger than the original in Versailles, rare paintings, richly decorated furniture and unique frescoes. Particularly noteworthy is the replica of the bedroom from the Palace of Versailles and the marble bathroom with the King's bathtub. In addition to the charming interiors, the King Louis II Museum is located on the ground floor. In addition to the castle, the island is also home to a baroque Augustinian monastery known as the 'Old Castle'. It now houses a gallery.

With this private transfer, you will save hours of travel time and enjoy the convenience of a door-to-door service with pick-up at the airport, train station or hotel and drop-off at your destination. Kufstein Fortress is the most visited attraction in Tyrol and it's no wonder why. The fortress is built on top of a mountain and overlooks a traditional picturesque Tyrolean town. It's a gem of local architecture that you can't miss on your private tour. In the 1500s, the fortress was expanded to include outer walls and the iconic round tower. Thanks to the castle's great location, you will have the opportunity to take unforgettable photos with spectacular panoramas and views. Inside the castle there is a museum. Experience the unique medieval atmosphere of this place during a two-hour sightseeing stop on a private tour.
