03/29/16 06:22 AM. 12040 posts. To go against the grain...in four years living in Germany, one of the places visitors to my house wanted to visit most often was Neuschwanstein. All the visits were usually between the months of October and May, and not ONCE was it ever necessary to reserve ahead of time.
824 posts. August is Holiday Season in Germany (as well as the rest of Europe) and Hohenschwangau is probably going to be really busy every day of the week - rain or shine. I recommend you acquaint yourself with the Hohenschwangau Tourist Center web site (just google) to look at the process of visiting the castles.
Back in 2008 the view from Mary’s Bridge was spectacular. Toured inside the castle twice years ago - it was underwhelming compared to many other places. However, sometimes one has to see for themselves. Just viewed it from the road last week as it silhouetted in the haze of the heat. I’ve heard that the castle nearby was a really nice.
You could also do the Zugspitze trip on May 9th if the weather is clear, then stay overnight in Fuessen, get up early and drive less than 10 minutes to Neuschwanstein castle for a tour. This way you have 2 chances of clear weather (May 9 or early May 10) to do the Zugspitze and tour Neuschwanstein the other day/morning.
In WWII the Nazi's stored up to 21,000 pieces of methodically cataloged pieces of artwork, furniture, jewelry and other valuables in Neuschwanstein Castle, most of which had been stolen from France. The schloss was considered an ideal spot for safekeeping the loot due to its remote location and distance from areas most likely to be targeted for ...
The Bayern-Ticket covers the RVO bus from Füssen to Hohenschwangau (town). It's not necessary to pay for any transportation from the castle kiosk in Hohenschwangau to the castle, although there is an extra cost bus to the bridge (Marienbrücke) overlooking Neuschwanstein.

It's a 5 minute walk around the corner to the ticket kiosk. If you are worried about the line, for 1,80€ you can reserve your castle tour online at www.hohenschwangau.de. In four times that I have been through Hohenschwangau in the last 15 years, there has usually been only a few minutes line for Neuschwanstein.
The village that Neuschwanstein Castle is in is charming plus you get to see the castle up high from the outside while walking around the village. The tour of the castle was only 30 minutes long, not very interesting and not much was included in the tour, still, you might want to check it off your list of places to see.
Neuschwanstein is a bit of a tourist trap site, since the castle is not ancient, only about 200 years old, but still worth a visit, since the Disneyland castle was patterned after it. Garmish is close to Fussen and you can take a cable car or cog train ride to the top of the mountain. Salzburg and Berchtesgaden are with two or three days.
Neuschwanstein is iconic but not a real castle, or even a home King Ludwig lived in. Linderhof is a different experience. I'd take advantage of the chance to see both. Hi Brian, I've been to both twice. As for the tours of the interiors of them, I'd pick Linderhof, no question.
