Detailed itinerary

Your private guide will pick you up at your hotel in Munich.
First, we drive to Neuschwanstein Castle, the most visited castle in South Germany, and was the inspiration for Disney castle.
(With Skip the Line Service, you don´t have to worry about waiting for hours to get tickets, or tickets are sold out when you arrive).
We drive to Hohenschwangau village. First, we take the shuttle to Mary’s Bridge (Marienbrücke) for some amazing pictures, then we walk to Neuschwanstein (the fairy tale castle) with a tour inside. (The castle entry is conducted as a group tour, in line with the castle's policy).
You will know more about the Swan King (Ludwig II) king of Bavaria (1864-1886). And the history of Neuschwanstein Castle (which was built in 1869-1886).
# Please note: During winter months, Marienbrücke may be closed due to snow and safety conditions.

We’ll end our day at Linderhof Palace, where Ludwig II resided for over eight years.

While the famous Venus Grotto is temporarily closed, the palace’s grandeur more than makes up for it.
