My only tip: if you purchase tickets - make sure to check the location of your show. The Congress center across the street will also host programs that are sold as Landestheatre, as there is a partnership between the two.

When you purchase a ticket you are given a time and a number. You wait in a large courtyard for your time and number to signal the right to go through the turnstiles and start your tour. The courtyard has a gift shop and a few benches to sit on. The castle is located in a small quaint German town close to the border of Austria. It was built by King Maximilian ll of Bavaria and used as a summer home for his family. His children Ludwig ll and Otto spent many years here. The tour is informative and moves quickly.

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.
