 Sorry, but the Princess is in
another castle! by DirtyRudy
Anyway, there's not much on the inside of the castle that you can't see anywhere else, but the castle has that "something special" about it. The only way to tour the castle is a guided tour, which are scheduled throughout the day in several languages. Most people tend to buy the Neuschwanstein ticket along with the Hochenschwangau tour, so a combo ticket is probably you're best bet.
7 EUR/person/castle
13 EUR/person for both castles
You can be cheap and walk to the castle for free (40 min), take a horse carriage (7.50 EUR roundtrip), or take the bus (2.60 EUR roundtrip).
Don't forget to check out the view from the Marienbrueckte! Leave a Comment Directions: Located in Fuessen on the southern border of Germany just at the hills of the Bavarian Alps. You can take a day trip to the castle, or drive. Any decent hotel would have information how to get there.

 Neuschwanstein Castle by 68_snow_man
The man behind the castle was King Ludwig II. In many ways, the castle mirrors the personality of it's eccentric creator. His strange behavior still provokes heated discussions among local people. Historians may call him "Mad King Ludwig" but others feel the label "eccentric" is a more fitting title.
Ludwig cared little for the duties of royalty, preferring to retreat into isolation. He found escape in the mountains. It was said he held imaginary talks with Madame de Pompadour and brought his horse to dine at the dinner table. Building dreamlike, romantic castles was his passion. His other great loves were history and opera, in particular the works of Richard Wagner. Leave a Comment

 Castle Hochenschwangau. It's
YELLOW. by DirtyRudy
I think Ludwig II lived here as a kid, but really the only thing I can remember about the castle is that it's YELLOW. Actually, I enjoyed touring the rooms much more than the rooms at Neuschwanstein. Full of rich history, it's definitely worth stopping by while you're at Fuessen.

 Me 'n' my boy, Lederhosen Man by DirtyRudy
This mythological being haunts the Marienbrueckte right behind Schloss Neuschwanstein. If you need a helping hand, he's there to help you take a picture of you (and your loved-one) for tips!
Of course, you don't have to leave a tip, but he's the Lederhosen Man!!! Leave a Comment

If you don't have time for anything else, you must do this. We took an escorted tour for this trip from Munich. We drove the two hours through the Bavarian Alps which are incredible and stopped in the town of Oberammergau, which was spectacular. After that, we arrived in the town of Fussen and had lunch before taking the hike up to the castle. There were two castles in Fussen but not many restaurants. Schloss Hohenschwangau is a 14th century castle that sits on top of a hill. After lunch, we walked up-hill 30 minutesto reach Schloss Neuschwanstein. It was very tiring, but worth the effort...there were natural waterfalls on the path and one of two refreshment stands on your way up the hill. If you don't mind waiting in line (we were on a time schedule) you can share a horse-drawn carriage which looked cool. Seemed easy enough to find and get tickets. But be prepared and wear comfortable shoes....its a l-o-n-g hike! As you get closer, the castle (one of Ludwig II's most famous) gets bigger. When you get to the top you see a breathtaking view of the castle which is situated on an outcrop of rock and towers over a deep gorge. A guide takes you through the castle....there are 200 rooms but only 18 were finished due to the Kings early death. From the entrance to the castle, you can also see a cast-iron brigge that spans the Pollat gorge. Really fabulous. Directions: Fussen

 Schloss Neuschwanstein by Rawabi
King Ludwig's father has died when he was around 18 and was supposed to become the new king.. as any teenage he refused for a while then had to do what he had to do!!! The king had a fascination for castles, so he raised taxes in order to build his dream castle: Schloss Neuschwanstein! It took around 17 years.. After 168 "days" he was found dead with his therapist in a knee-deep pool!!! *the poor guy*!
The castle was built in a town called Fussen on the beautiful mountains.. the landscape is GREAT and the castle is so magical..
Don't miss it.. it's worth all the trouble.. Leave a Comment Address: FussenDirections: We booked a guided tour from a tourism office near the Hauptbahnhof.. you can also go to Fussen by train from the Hauptbahnhof station..

The Castle of Neuschwanstein lies beutifully on a hill surrounded by trees. It's supposed to have influenced the castle in Disneyland in Paris. I am sure it most be even more fascinating in winter. Directions: 1 - 1 1/2 hour drive south east from Munich
