What you need to know
- Book tickets online ahead, since same-day tickets at the Ticket Center in Hohenschwangau often sell out early, and kids need their own free ticket
- No strollers or backpacks inside, so leave prams, child carriers and bulky bags in the car before the tour
- Steep 1.5 km walk up from the village, about 30 to 40 minutes; horse carriages and a shuttle bus shorten it, though the bus stops running in snow and ice
About
Neuschwanstein is the 19th-century castle King Ludwig II built on a crag above the village of Hohenschwangau, with the Alps behind it. Inside, a 30-minute guided tour in English or German leads through 14 rooms, including the Throne Hall, a man-made grotto and the Singers' Hall. Afterward kids can see the old kitchen, then walk to Marienbrücke, the footbridge with the classic view of the castle.
