Travel into Bavaria’s alpine foothills to discover King Ludwig II’s iconic fairytale castle. This single focus trip allows ample time to explore the opulent interiors, the Marienbrucke overlook, and the story behind Germany’s most famous royal retreat.
Expect 3 hours each way through the Bavarian Alps. A private driver from Wurzburg ensures you discover the fairytale castle and King Ludwig's romantic vision at your own pace.
If you think you’ve seen this castle somewhere before, then you have — it’s the real life castle that was the model for the castle featured in Sleeping Beauty, used in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and inspired Disney to create his Magic Kingdom. Even the location of the castle is simply breathtaking, as it sits at the top of a beautiful gorge in the Bavarian Alps. Built by Ludwig II between 1869 and 1886, the interior of the castle is every bit as awe-inspiring as the outside and reflects his obsession with Wagner, his preoccupation with medieval royalty and his retreat into fantasy. Central to the castle is opera and the works of Wagner, which Ludwig intended to be a shrine to his close friend. Although some rooms were never finished, Neuschwanstein remains the ultimate visitor experience for those looking to come face-to-face with a genuine fairytale castle.
