Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Palace Day Trip from Munich

Get to know Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Palace on an excursion from Munich. This is an activity that includes a return transfer in an air-conditioned bus and lasts about ten and a half hours. You will learn about the history of these two royal castles from your professional guide.

See lush Bavaria on this excursion to Linderhof Palace and its surrounding park. It is one of the most artistic and stylistically complex ensembles of the 19th century.

It is influenced by French architecture and is modelled on the small summer palaces, usually located in parks, that were built in France in the 18th century. If you want to see the interior, you have the opportunity to skip the queues with the ticketed tour option that you will see when you book.

Alternatively, you'll have some free time in Oberammergau, known for its cabinetmakers and painted houses, where you can stroll around and have lunch on your own.

You will also have the experience of admiring the Neuschwanstein Castle, the most popular castle in the area with more than one million visitors a year. Workers and craftsmen worked together with architects to create the palatial home. Despite its enormous size and original plan of 200 rooms, it was built for a single person to live in.

Long before it was the inspiration for Disneyland' s Sleeping Beauty Castle, Neuschwanstein was the retreat of German King Ludwig II of Bavaria, who spent much of his kingdom's fortune on castle building.
