The castle looks great, but I prefer something from antiquity. It felt a little too modern for my taste and the tour was very short without the option to wonder around at your own pace. You were only shown a small portion of the castle as well. All things considered, I've had better castle experiences elsewhere. The Hohensalzburg, for example is a better experience.

We visited Neuschwanstein as part of a tour group from Munich, and it didn’t disappoint. The castle is jaw-dropping both inside and out; we visited June ‘23 and the bedroom was closed for renovations, but the recently restored throne room is stunning and worth the entry fee alone! My only criticism would be that 35 minutes isn’t long enough for a tour - our guide Peter was lovely and so knowledgable but he was being rushed along by the group racing through behind us and clearly had a lot more he wanted to say. Don’t miss the balcony on your way out for beautiful views over Hohenschwangau and the lake, and the hike up to Marienbrücke (the bridge) is well worth it, just be prepared for queues.

Walked up from Hohenschwangau- took about 30 min. Took earlier of 2 english tours that were offered that day. Get to see about 5-6 rooms, as the castle is unfinished. Walked from there ‘behind’ the castle and over the bridge, up a trail to see the castle from the mountain behind it.

Magnificent trip (although it was a few years ago now) - incredible that people were able to build such a magnificent castle at that time. We were staying just over the border in Austria at the time and were undecided whether to make the trip or not. Glad we did, it brings back such beautiful memories.

So worth the trip from Munich. This castle is just beautiful. The colors inside are so bright and vibrant it is truly a treat for the eyes. They do not let you stay long in the castle and do not allow photography inside. Luckily the grounds and surrounding area give you more than enough to make the trip worthwhile. Also tickets and timing are very strict so don't be late for your appointed entry time. We enjoyed having lunch in the little town below and also drinks there on our way out. The climb is no joke and even coming down can be a challenge so if in doubt, take one of the carriages.

This was on my bucket list for years, and happy we finally made it! We took the carriage ride up, because my husband is a disabled veteran. Still a ways to walk up. Our tour guide was good. There were rooms under construction, so I don't feel like we saw very much. Also, there is talk about the castle "not being finished", and I wonder why they don't show those rooms? I was surprised how young the castle was--I thought it would be much older.

We slept at Füssen for the visit. Very nice city worth the stay. We climbed to the castle, weather was great. Very pretty path with view on the castle from time to time. Once at the castle, building looks very impressive, as well as view on the landscape. However, don't miss taking the path to the near bridge!! It is a small additional walk, but the view of the castle from the bridge is breathtaking!!! Again, don't miss it!! Hiking down by the road, you will have a view on the other castle, Neuschangau. We didn't try and didn't feel the need to get tickets for visiting the inside of the castle. No regret at all. The trip was worth it.

Beautiful scenery, amazing castle, was just so wonderful to visit, we only stayed outside as other people had mentioned it wasn't worth paying to see inside. The parking is 10 euros and about 30 minutes to walk up the hill. There are a couple of shops to get an ice-cream and gifts if you need refreshments

We could not get a slot online. Went to the ticket office. They had a few slots left, booked there, hopped on the bus and here we are at one of most breathtaking castles. Absolutely stunning views. The audio guided tour was very good and well organised. Tour guides were very helpful. You need to walk up an steep incline for 10-20 after the bus stop before reaching the castle. The bus can get busy and crowded.

It is a beautiful castle with a beautiful view. It was only built in the 1800s…so it isn’t what one would think of as a “historic castle”. The tour lasts only about 30 minutes and you get to see some extravagant rooms including the throne room (but no throne, sadly). The hike up the hill to castle may be a bit much for some…but you can even take a horse-drawn carriage on the way up. Some of the picture spots are amazing…including a suspension bridge with a great view of the castle and the surrounding landscape.
