Full description

Neuschwanstein was built from 1869 as a private retreat for Ludwig II, a king who preferred legend and opera to politics. Its interiors, inspired by Wagner’s operas, were never fully finished, and the king spent only a few nights here before his death in 1886.

Tickets for the castle are timed, and popular slots go early in summer. This booking secures your entry time and includes an audio guide for the castle rooms. From the village of Hohenschwangau it’s a steep walk of about 30 to 40 minutes up to the castle, or you can take the shuttle bus or a horse-drawn carriage (not included).
