Disney's Inspiration
Towering over rocky crags at the foot of the Bavarian Alps rests the famous Neuschwanstein Castle constructed for King Ludwig II. This fairy-tale castle has been inspiring awe and wonder for years with its ornate and lavish interior along with a majestic design that even Walt Disney couldn’t resist when constructing his Cinderella Castle. Prior to the castle visit we will also make a stop at a woodcarving shop and the Wieskirche, a charming pilgrimage church with beautiful views of the Bavarian Alps. Upon arrival at Neuschwanstein you will be given descriptive information about the local area, the history of Neuschwanstein Castle, and details of King Ludwig II’s life. The tour guide will lead the group to all the amazing vantage points. Enjoy some free time and grab lunch from a wonderful Bavarian restaurant.
The Neuschwantstein Castle Tour entails a substantial amount of walking, and it's worth noting that within the castle itself, there are nearly 200 stairs to ascend.
