It's a really gorgeous place, be sure to buy tickets inside, it's interesting and you can listen to the history of the castle in Russian, you can walk around the castle for a long time enjoying the picturesque views. Getting from Munich is very easy, there is a direct bus from the central bus station directly to the foot of the mountain where the castle itself is located, tickets for this bus must be purchased in advance.

An amazing castle, familiar to us from the advertising screensaver of the Disney film company. From nearby Fussen, you can take a taxi, and then the climb will be steep uphill and it's better to take a horse cart. The castle preserves the legends of the German epics, as well as the amazing story of the triumph and fall of the great Bavarian king Ludwig II, who was found murdered on the shore of a lake under strange circumstances, whose rich imagination and divine plan surpassed all the ambitious ambitions of his contemporaries. Filming is prohibited inside, and I had to use the network's capabilities to delight you with the richness of the castle's interior. I remember from the guide's story that the king and his wife lived in rooms on different floors. And when the husband wanted to visit his beloved, he went up to her by a secret staircase in the wall. The walls of Ludwig's bedroom themselves are decorated with whimsical paintings that set up the monarch in a friendly way. 😉 It's a very interesting experience and it's always crowded.

Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the most recognizable and visited tourist spots in Germany, located in the picturesque Alpine foothills of Bavaria, near the town of Fussen. This fabulous castle, built by order of King Ludwig II, became the embodiment of his romantic ideas about medieval chivalry and German history, inspired by Richard Wagner's operas.

The famous Disney castle, to visit Germany and not visit it is blasphemy! Tickets should be purchased in advance, on the website, because they are limited and you may not have time to buy them on the spot! That's what happened with our group, we could only buy one ticket! Photos and videos are forbidden inside the castle, they are strictly monitored! They launch a group on time, distribute an audio guide in all languages, there is also one in Russian!

Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the most famous and picturesque castles in the world, located in the Bavarian Alps near the town of Fussen in Germany. It is often referred to as the "fairy castle" due to its romantic appearance, which inspired Walt Disney to create Sleeping Beauty Castle. The castle was built in the 19th century by order of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, known for his dreaminess and love of art. Construction began in 1869, but was never completed due to the mysterious death of the king in 1886. Neuschwanstein combines elements of Neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque style, and its interiors are decorated with magnificent frescoes on themes of German legends, especially Richard Wagner's operas, which were patronized by Ludwig II.

Neu-Schwanstein Castle (almost broke my tongue)... translates as SWAN STONE. In 1869, it began to be built at the behest of King Ludwig 2. Relatively recently. After they forgot Napoleon's campaign, it turns out. Gothic style. On the mountain ... and it's not so easy to get there, although there is a road, but going uphill, even on the road, is not an easy task. They offered to ride in a carriage with a horse... they refused. We decided to feel the beauty of the moment with our feet. And how evil the snow fell at that time. The castle is not big. It is organized as a museum: a bedroom, an office, a ceremonial hall and a dining room. We went somewhere else. In general, everything is fleeting and there is little left in my memory, except ... a snack at the end. A small buffet. We got sparkling wine, rolls and broth. Everything that happened at that moment. By the way, the castle has become a Disney prototype. Which is why it is associated with a fairy tale.

It's beautiful all around, but inside it's a 20 euro deception. You will be led through a couple of rooms and a guide (we had Hr. Kast) will tell you in a mournful voice about the purpose of the room (as if I would not guess from the presence of a bed that this is a bedroom). We passed through an interesting illuminated cave right in the castle, but we didn't learn anything about it. The guide limited himself to the phrase "we are going through an artificial cave". Quite obvious, huh? Yes, the castle was not completed, there is little to show, but then tell us more about the rooms, about the history of Ludwig, about interesting facts. To get to the last room - the kitchen - you have to pass through a souvenir shop, cafe, toilets. And finally get into the kitchen, where they won't tell you anything, because the story about the kitchen is not included in the tour for 20 euros. Besides, you can't even take photos on your phone inside.

It translates as the New Swan Stone. Of course, the decoration is not Winter))) but this is an incredible/fabulous/magical place that is so inspiring!!! There you have to propose to your princess (And there's an Old Castle nearby, more modest, where the crowned descendants of the king still live, half of it is open, and to complete the experience, it's better to start the tour there). In Neuschwanstein, in Wagner's room, you look out the window and begin to understand his strange music. Thanks to Disney, the whole world knows the castle, he captured it in cartoons. And, yes, nearby in the forest is the very Swan Lake that once inspired Tchaikovsky! The town of Schwangau (Swan area), which is nearby, is good for its thermal baths, so spending 2-3 days in these places is unforgettable and magnificent!

The view is amazing, be sure to take a tour on the castle's website (preferably 2 months in advance, they are sold out very quickly) you can take beautiful photos from the balcony and it is expensive / rich inside. On the tour, they give an audio guide with a choice of language (there was Russian). We arrived about 3 hours before closing time, there were not many people. They went up the hill on a cart with horses (there was a bus, but there was a longer queue).

A fairy tale castle from a Walt Disney screensaver. The fairy doesn't fly over it, of course, but even without it, it's a truly fabulous place. In fact, it was built exactly like a fairy castle. It's a very interesting and beautiful place. One of the most recognizable not only in Bavaria, but also in Germany as a whole. Interesting both inside and out. Upon entering, you will be given an audio guide in your native language, and you will learn the history of the castle itself as a whole and each hall separately. The guide will answer any questions you may have. It is forbidden to take photos inside. Do not forget to go to the bridge, from which the castle is visible from the side. You can get to it on foot, in a carriage or by bus. You can get to the place of departure to the castle by car - there are several inexpensive parking lots nearby. After visiting the castle, I recommend going down on foot. Especially in the dark in the forest, along the road where the bus runs. In the dark forest, after the castle with its history, it is interesting to walk and listen to the noise of trees, foliage, river and birds. Plan for at least half a day or more.

Impressive and amazing! Huge territory, beautiful views of the surroundings from above. A fairly steep climb up. It's not always possible to get inside for a guided tour. Part of the castle may be closed to the public or under renovation. But, despite this, the impressions are the most positive.

Visited this romantic castle of the Bavarian king on 09/16/2024 Ludwig II near the town of Fussen, as part of a group of tourists like me... Groups of tourists go one by one... In 5-10 minutes... It's impossible to really see anything... You can't even take pictures on your smartphone?! The lock is huge, but they only drive in 6-7 rooms?! The romantic mood disappeared very quickly... 20 minutes - and everyone is free!.. Then there is a cafe about nothing, souvenir shops, a view from the balcony and that's it... If someone wants to put a check mark that he was here, then you are here... Connoisseurs of history and antiquity have nothing to do on such excursions... It is best to admire this fabulous castle from the outside... Read literature... The administration of the castle could be recommended to conduct VIP tours on certain days and hours with an ordinary guide and the opportunity to leave photos of this romantic castle as a souvenir... Of course, for a LOT of money!..

Today it is one of the most popular attractions in Germany. The castle is located in the town of Hohenschwangau, near the town of Fussen, in Bavaria, in southern Germany. Neuschwanstein is open daily. The visit is possible only as part of the tour. It is forbidden to take photos inside. There are three ways to get to Neuschwanstein Castle in 2024: 1️⃣Buy tickets at the foot of the castle 2️⃣Purchase tickets in advance on the official website 3️⃣Book an excursion from Munich The price of an adult ticket at the box office and online is 13€. I recommend Neuschwanstein Castle.

Located in the Schwangau valley, on a mountain, it looks fabulous when you look from below, for example from a bus at the castle, it is very fascinating in the rooms, the interior is antique and being among such decoration is unusual and cool, large paintings on the walls, ceiling paintings and a large chandelier with candles, a bed made of dark wood, breathtaking! I immediately remember all the fairy tales that I watched before, it seemed that all the antiquity and decoration were not real, but once in a place where people actually lived in such a way of life, it was as if they were thrown out of modernity and carried into the past for real! It feels like I'm living there myself now!

Going to celebrate the New Year in Bavaria, we decided that we would go to the Alps for one day. To be more precise, we will visit Neuschweinstein Castle. This fabulous castle was seen in old books as a child. He is considered one of the most romantic in the world. And for good reason. 🏰 At one time, Walt Disney was inspired by him when he created the company's logo. Let's get back to the trip. The path was not close. To get to it, we got up at 6 a.m. and arrived at Munich Central Station. There we bought a “Bavarian train ticket". This ticket allows you to travel by train to Fussen there / back, and additionally it provides free bus travel to the municipality of Schwangau (which is next to the castle). And it is also profitable. The cost of the "Bavarian ticket" is 25 €. But if you buy a ticket for several people, then each subsequent passenger is charged at a price of € 6. And so, we boarded the train, wrote the names on the ticket (with a regular pen) and went to the castle. Ahead of us was a three-hour route with views of the Alpine Mountains, meadows and lakes. When we got to Fussen, we took a bus that took us to the end point. Next, it was necessary to overcome 1.5 km on foot into the mountains. Every time he appeared from behind trees and rocks, emotions overwhelmed us and motivated us to go faster. After entering the courtyard through the massive gate, we walked along its streets and headed to the bridge, which offers the most instagrammable view of the castle. But there was disappointment: the bridge was closed for repairs.😔 Of course, neither we nor other tourists could stop it. We went a little off the tourist route to a mountain hill and among the trees there was a better view of Neuschwanstein and the valley. The castle appeared in all its glory. It is especially amazing how it grows out of the rock. Time seems to stop here. After looking at this beauty for the last time, we went down to the bus, where the way back to Munich was waiting for us…

A beautiful castle! An excellent location for shooting good views of nature, two castles of Louis the 14th (like this room of the reigning person), a beautiful waterfall in the gorge, swan lake (yes, that very lake!). Neuschwanstein Castle is located on a mountain, you can only get to the parking lot a mile from the castle itself. A rather steep, ornate road leads up, about 1.5-2km. Tourist layout: first, you stand in an hour-long queue at the bottom and take a ticket, and only after you find out that it's far and difficult for you to go) but for a coin, after standing in about the same queue, you can get on a horse-drawn cart pulled by a powerful horse (or two, I don't remember anymore) you will be taken to the castle itself. I've been there three times, but it broke me to stand on a horse, and even pay for it, especially since gorgeous photo spots open along the way, there are benches where you can relax at every turn of the road, and most importantly, a prize awaits you at the finish: a branch of the Hofbrohaus!))) a 10-dollar knuckle and a delicious HB beer! On Christmas days, I also remember drinking mulled wine either at the end of the journey or in the middle... I do not remember) The castle itself is large inside, but unfinished, preserved in this unfinished form (in fact, Louis did not complete the decoration, as I understood, either died, or went to Rostov to live after the coup in Bavaria). An ordinary Bavarian very large castle. But there is a secret location to the right of the castle: the passage is closed, but you can go around the forest, and you get to the place above the castle: the bridge over the waterfall! It takes your breath away when you stand there, now I remember how the legs gave way on it))) From the bridge, you can contemplate a magnificent view of Swan lake, which was inspired by Tchaikovsky. Yes, the castle itself, according to legend, inspired Walt Disney to create the logo of his studio) But this is not accurate))) You need to pick photos from the disk, sorry, it breaks, as well as waiting for a horse😁😁😁 I advise everyone to go there if possible. There's also a gorgeous road from Munich, the lake at the foot of the Alps just shocked me with its beauty. In general, you understand me)

We went to Bavaria from Prague for two days. The castle is stunningly beautiful , the photos here are cool . Beautiful view from the suspension bridge, but you need to wait until there are fewer people. It will take about thirty minutes to climb up to the castle by a long ascent , this is the only inconvenience . There are a lot of visitors, but it does not bother.

And what can I add here, a classic place! In fact, there are two locks side by side. You can only buy a bus ticket up, and walk down if someone doesn't have their own car. For those with cars, there are a lot of parking spaces in several parking lots on the heel from below. You need to buy a ticket to the castle online and show it to the guards at the entrance. In general, it's a great family place, I definitely advise you to visit, set aside at least a day. You can also take a snack or something on a hike, because there are hiking trails and routes

We ordered a bus tour from Munich. On the way we stopped in the village of Oberammengau. I remember it very much: painted houses, a sea of flowers, comfort and cleanliness. The final destination is the Schwangau Valley. There is a wonderful lake where you can swim, and two castles: Hohenschwangau and a little further Neuschwanstein. Both are good, but Neuschwanstein is something amazing, a fairy tale, a fantasy! It is definitely worth a visit, it is impressive.

There are two castles, the old one is small and beautiful inside, and the new one is on the mountain, beautiful outside-a Disney screensaver. You need to arrive before lunch, otherwise you won't have time to get around both castles. Immediately take (there are huge queues at the ticket office) tickets for both locks-they will tell you the pairing time. First the lower castle, then the hunting restaurant, schnapps. Then you go to the lake, then to the new castle on the mountain - ride a horse cart, save a lot of energy on adventures further. Do not sit in the first places, otherwise the horse will greatly delight you with its feces. After visiting the castle, without going down, you need to catch the suspension bridge on the way to Austria, from which you can take stunning selfies and panoramic photos-this is one of the stunning viewpoints of Germany, then five hundred meters to the border with Austria (it's all in the mountains). Go down strictly along the road that we went up to the castle either after waiting for the horse or finding the minibus stop tired and make it down before sunset. Shoes are sneakers. You have to walk a lot. There is parking for cars. I've been there three times, I've taken all my friends there. I feel it's time to go there again. The castle works only in the warm season, however, like most castles in Germany-they simply do not have heating.

The castle is huge, as I understood from the tour- it was never completed. The design is impressive. Of course, there are richer castles in Europe, but this one is worthy of attention. I was especially impressed by how the Germans organize the visit - clearly, in groups, minute by minute, guides in all languages, no one interferes, no one shouts over, a kind of human conveyor belt.

But when you walk through the halls of the castle and go out onto the upper balcony, you can see such a view (Alpine lakes, Hohenschwangau - the ancestral home of the Wittelsbachs), you begin to understand King Ludwig II.

An incredibly popular typical tourist place. A new building without a really long history and a bit like a set. Of the obvious disadvantages, there are a huge number of people, there is nothing to see inside, I assert this as a resident of St. Petersburg (3.5 dark rooms that cannot be entered). At the same time, the entire micro tour takes place at a running pace and costs about 15 euros for 15 minutes. One, he's the only plus - incredible views on the way to the castle and on its observation deck. I recommend visiting exclusively along the way, if there are other excursions in the region.

A stunningly beautiful castle, I have dreamed of visiting it for many years. It was very interesting on an excursion inside the castle, but it was even cooler to walk around the mountains, there is a very beautiful mountain river with waterfalls nearby, a suspension bridge above it, there are several observation decks overlooking the castle. The town nearby is also very cozy, we spent two days in it with pleasure. We were in April, now it would be nice to come back in autumn, when the forest will be in autumn decoration.
