If this Castle was good enough for Walt Disney....should good enough for all of us!…read more Awesome over the top Castle with gorgeous designs inside. If you are a Richard Wagner fan this place has tons of homages to the famous classic composser. Stunning views. visit the bridge above for another great vantage point. There is a simple tour you get using a listening device and it is well worth the effort. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely tour guide who was very knowledgeable about the castle and the family history. She…read moregave us in depth details about each room and all the family members. The castle rooms are smaller and more demure than Neuschwanstein, making it more homey. The views of the lake are incredible too. The area itself is beautiful and there are some nice cafes and restaurants up there too. Well worth the visit.

We were told to arrive 1 hour before our reservation but 30 minutes would have been plenty of time. We were in a small group and our guide made sure that all of us were settled in each room before starting. She gave us a brief overview before starting the prerecorded audio narration. I left feeling more knowledgeable about King Ludwig's childhood and family life at Hohenschwangau. The tour took about 30 minutes and there was not much to see afterwards. We had thought we needed 3 hours for this castle but the walk up was short, but 2 hours for everything was plenty of time for us.

The bridge is famous for its direct view of Neuschwanstein Castle and the surrounding mountains and countryside. We had clear weather, which made the scenery even more beautiful. The view of Neuschwanstein from the bridge is definitely one of those picture-perfect views you come to Germany hoping to see. It can get crowded on the bridge, but it was absolutely worth it for the view. Take a few minutes to look beyond the castle too -- the mountains and valley surrounding it are gorgeous. Definitely a must-do when visiting Neuschwanstein Castle, especially if you're lucky enough to have a beautiful clear day like we did!
