Lots of stairs, but manageable for most. We took the bus up for €3, and it dropped it off above the Castle at Miriam’s bridge. After the tour we took the horse drawn buggy down for €4.”

4.Neuschwanstein Castle Ticket With Audio Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 473 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $54.09

Neuschwanstein Castle ticket with audio guide, Romanesque Revival interiors, and strict entry timing from Füssen.

“It's really important to allow lots of time to park and then get up to the caste from the parking areas. The busses run fairly regularly, but the queue was so large that we had to jump to the front with appologies to those around us. When you get off the bus, you have another 15 mins walk to castle entrance. You need to allow 1 hour from parking the car to your booked entrance. This is computer controlled, so if you miss your 5 minute slot you miss the tour - no refunds! Castle is very nice once you get inside.”

Super annoying, we dropped out. In other app it is better done - would have been desirable if you are guided in the app to the next location by map and then it recognizes the location. -not the case here.Auto-translated”
