Step by Step

Discover Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Palace on a day trip from Munich. This excursion includes return travel by air-conditioned coach and lasts around ten and a half hours. You’ll learn about the history of these two royal castles from the professional guide accompanying you.

Marvel at the lush beauty of Bavaria on this excursion, which takes you to Linderhof Palace and the park surrounding it. They are among the most artistic and stylistically complex complexes of the 19th century.

It is influenced by French architecture and modelled on the small summer palaces, usually set in parks, that were built in France in the 18th century. If you’d like to explore the interior, you can skip the queues by choosing the excursion option with tickets, which you’ll see when you make your booking.

You’ll also have some free time in Oberammergau, known for its woodcarvers and painted houses, where you can take a stroll and have lunch at your leisure.

You’ll also have the chance to admire Neuschwanstein Castle, the most popular attraction in the area with over a million visitors a year. Labourers and craftsmen worked alongside architects to create this palatial residence. Despite its enormous size and the original plan for 200 rooms, it was built for a single person to live in.

Long before it served as the inspiration for Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle, Neuschwanstein was the refuge of the German King Ludwig II of Bavaria, who spent a large part of his kingdom’s fortune on building castles.

    It was a cloudy day, which was a pity because some of the pictures were not very good. Anyway, the whole walk was very nice. Linderhof is one of those places you have to visit if you go to Germany.
