Castle Neuschwanstein

Schloss Neuschwanstein
Schwangau, Bavaria - 22 September 2007

Castle Neuschwanstein, I think it is the most popular castle in Germany. Mostly because of the remarkable postcard photograph during winter, showing it on top of the cloud.

Castle Neuschwanstein can be reach within 3 hours by train from Munich. The cheapest method to go there is to use the Bayern Ticket, which costs 27 € and valid for 5 people. It is easy to go there from Munich. You just need to take a regional train until Füssen and from there take a bus to Hohenschwangau.

We went there on 4, Lila, Greena, Sony and me. We were lucky, since that day was the opening day of the Oktoberfest 2007, so there weren't so many tourist in Neuschwanstein. We reach there around 1 pm and without any queuing, wet got the ticket for the guided tour at 2.30 pm.

To enter the castle, they only provide guided tour in German and in English and for other languages, they have the voice guide device. One thing to remember is that no photograph is allowed to be taken within the castle.

For me inside the castle itself is not as remarkable as I thought. The view however is as good as in postcard. The view from the brigde and view of the Castle Hohenschwangau from the top of the hill are very beautiful.
