Why Travelers Choose This Tour
Your day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle starts with the train or bus journey from Munich through the German countryside.

Once inside the enchanting structure, take a tour with a guide, who shares fascinating stories about the reclusive Bavarian king who commissioned a new residence in the 19th century.
