Schloss Neuschwanstein

Neuschwanstein Castle remained unfinished due to the early and mysterious death of its builder, King Ludwig II of Bavaria, and is certainly one of the most visited sights in Germany for this reason.Because of the Corona crisis, tours of the castle have been reduced from 58 to 35 people, and therefore demand far exceeds supply. However, as a participant in our excursion, you will always receive tickets for the castle tour without any waiting times!Your tour guide will also ensure that you are at the castle in time for the start of the tour.

Marienbrücke

THE top viewpoint of Neuschwanstein Castle - and one of the most famous in the world! The steel Marienbrücke bridge was built in 1866 under Ludwig II - three years before Neuschwanstein Castle began construction.

Altstadt von Fuessen

(OPTIONAL - only when booking the 11-hour tour duration "XXL-Time Credit") ***** This extremely charming medieval town can look back on a 2,000-year history. As the favourite seat of the Habsburg Emperor Maximilian I, Füssen experienced its first heyday at the beginning of the 16th century; the "Hohe Burg" - one of Bavaria's best-preserved medieval castles - was decorated with unusually rich architectural and illusion paintings as early as 1499. Take a stroll through narrow streets and be enchanted by the well-preserved city walls, crooked houses and the Italian-looking former monastery complex with its magnificent Baroque church. Enjoy a refreshment in one of the numerous outdoor cafes or the numerous shopping opportunities.
