Neuschwanstein Castle, located in Hohenschwangau, Germany, is a stunning 19th-century Romanesque Revival palace that draws tourists from around the world. Easily accessible by car or public transport from Munich or Füssen, visiting the castle is most enjoyable with a guided tour to fully appreciate its history and architecture. Tickets should be purchased in advance online, especially during peak seasons (summer and holidays) to avoid long lines and potential sellouts. Admission costs approximately €15 for adults, and the tour lasts about 30-40 minutes. Though the castle is open year-round, visiting in the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) provides a balance of good weather and fewer crowds. Be prepared for a 30-minute uphill walk from the ticket center to the castle, or alternatively, take a shuttle bus or horse-drawn carriage for an additional fee.
