Latest Fussen hotel reviews
Pro
The castle is nice. Scenery of the Austrian Alps is great.
Con
The castles are super touristy and you can only see them on swiftly guided tours
In a nutshell
See the castles during the day, Fussen at night
Sunshine64 Says: Mad King Ludwig II's castle is a must-visit site. It's so much like a fairytale it's no wonder it was used as the basis for the Disneyworld castle. The castle was built from 1869 to 1886, but building ceased upon Ludwig's mysterious death - with only 1/3 of the castle...
Krumlovgirl Says: I visited here with a tour group out of Munich. Along with this castle, we also visited Linderhof and Hohenschwangau Castle. Obviously, Neuschwanstein was the most impressive architecturally, but the other two were also nice in their own rights. What I enjoyed most about the...
Bavavia Says: Of course the castles are here, but this is a really cute area to explore! i would recommend walking around or driving, just seeing the sights. On my drive here from Munich, i have to say it was a beautiful drive! it would be fun just to spend maybe half day or a day...
Bavavia Says: King Ludwig's childhood castle.....its across the way, down the hill from Neuchwanstein. If you were to walk, i would allow at least 45 minutes by the time you walk down the big hill from Neuchwanstein and up the big hill to this castle. You see this castle same was as you...
Bavavia Says: Kind Ludwig had this castle built and only stayed about 6 months total here before he died ( in the nearby lake with his psychiatrist. still remains a mystery because he drowned but was known to be an excellent swimmer( ludwig) and no one can explain why psychiatrist was...
iandsmith Says: I'll quote here from my emails:"Linderhof, the only one of mad Ludwig's castle to actually be completed, beckoned me. Though it involved a circuitous bus route (2 and half hours and three buses each way), I deemed it appropriate that I choose this.Why I deemed it appropriate...
RAINBOWWINGS Says: If you have come to Fussen its probably to visit the amazingly beautiful castles. The most famous, Neuschwanstein Castle was built by King Ludwig or The Mad King Ludwig in 1869 overlooking the Pollat Gorge in homage to Wagner the composer and when he died in 1886 the castle...
RAINBOWWINGS Says: If you´ve arrived in Fussen then you must not leave without taking the horse and carriage ride up to the famous Neuschwanstein Castle.Up to 12 people can sit in these lovely old Bavarian carriages with blankets over the knees and check out the views as it winds its way up...

Gasthof Krone: Great food, great staff, great mead!
Hellfirejen Says: Best restaurant in Fuessen, hands down. It is done in a medieval style, complete with stocks outside, and knights armour everywhere! The rule of house is that you eat with your fingers and a dagger, and a bib is placed around your neck when you place your orders! You can...
Schlossrestaurant Neuchwanstein: Pretty good for lunch!
Bavavia Says: The restaurant is a cute little place. If its nice outside, you can sit outside and eat like I did. I ordered a pizza and a soda. Sodas are so expensive in Germany, not sure why, but it was like 4 euros for a glass of coke there. Anyway, the food was good, service was ok....
Brunners: Dont miss the Apfelstrudel
RAINBOWWINGS Says: This lovely little Bistro almost called to us as we approached its doors. Warm and welcoming , friendly staff and HUGE portions of delightful pastries, salads, and hot and cold snacks. The apfelstrudel was to die for. A huge portion with a generous blob of cream followed by...
Sunshine64 Says: Guide books recommend taking a guided tour from Munich to the castle unless you are feeling adventurous. Tours are available via bus and train. Our late start elimitated the possibility of the tour option, so we took the adventurous route.Taking the train to Fussen was easy...
cjg1 Says: Deutschebahn has a happy weekend ticket for 30 euros that will allow a group of 5 to travel on IRE, RE, RB, and S-bahn trains unlimitedly from noon to 3am Saturdays and Sundays. It is now much more expensive than I remember but its an idea to consider if you are more than a...
moacha Says: Reichenstr is pedestrian paradise. The varied stores, such as souvenir shops, accessories stores, and ladies' wears, stand in a row closely. And the price was also fairly cheap compared with other towns. The cause of this reason,in the weekend,it is full by the German for...
Stevib Says: I'm lucky enough to have visited this part of Germany since the early sixties. One of the real pleasures was visiting the village of Schwangau and the castles of Hohnschwangau & Neuschwanstein. What a change has taken place over the years. This year was my first trip back to...
CandiceHalee Says: Not really a trap, and probably quite common in touristy areas. Most of the shops in the town of Hohenschwangau sell similar things and can be differnt prices. If you find something you'd like to buy, take note of the shop, then check around the other stores. There are...
iandsmith Says: Different times of the year will yield different results for your walk. It was fairly slushy at times during our stroll and the spring vegetation hadn't yet sprung forth.As with most walks of this type, the scenery is constantly changing. The varying angle will make what you...
iandsmith Says: In a way it's not really an "Off the beaten path" activity as there is a well trod path around this small lake at the base of the alps. It's just that compared to Neuschwanstein and Hohenswhangau, the number of tourists is a trickle.I had wanted to walk around it on my...
iandsmith Says: I like Fuessen because it's an easy town to explore and, from time to time, turns up little gems like this. We were actually lost.......no, let me rephrase that, misplaced, when I heard the unmistakeable sound that every waterfall lover longs to hear, the noise of crashing...
iandsmith Says: There is an opportunity to move out onto the old palace walls and then climb one of the towers. Should you choose to do that on a winter's day when it's snowing, you'll be glad the wall was covered! I should warn those who tend to have vertigo attacks that the stairs are...

Fussen - more than a place to stay
"It delivered. In a day and half here I've already walked about 30 kms on some wonderful trails. John take note - I not only walked up to Neuschwanstein once, I returned again after I did the tour of...

Like many people visiting Munich, we took a day trip to see the castle of Mad King Ludwig II. Because we were moving a little slow the day after going to Oktoberfest, we got a bit of a late start....
