Description - What to expect

Embark on a captivating Bavarian Castles tour that begins with a convenient hotel pick-up in Salzburg, followed by a scenic drive through the majestic Alpine forests to Neuschwanstein, the remarkable residence of King Ludwig II.

This fairytale-like palace, crafted in Gothic Revival style, perches dramatically atop a rocky ridge, surrounded by the awe-inspiring Alps and pristine Bavarian forests, evoking imagery of Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle. Renowned as one of the world's most picturesque castles, it attracts over a million visitors annually with its stunning location and unique architecture.

Upon arrival, choose between a leisurely 15-minute walk or a horse carriage ride (additional cost) to reach the castle. The Bavarian castle tour lasts approximately 40 minutes, allowing you to immerse yourself in its captivating splendor.

Alternatively, explore the neo-gothic palace of Hohenschwangau, the former summer and hunting residence of the royal Bavarian family, where you can marvel at the starry sky ceiling, ornate murals, and the exotic treasures collected by Ludwig II's father, Maximilian II.

If time permits, the tour concludes with a stop at the Wieskirche, a breathtaking pilgrimage church and UNESCO World Heritage site, offering a brief moment to appreciate its beauty before returning to Salzburg.
