Neuschwanstein Castle Late Start Tour from Munich

Gray Line late start tour option

Gray Line offers 1 late start option, with castle admission and reservation fees charged separately. Your ticket: the coach trip at €67 per adult; the official €21 adult castle ticket covers admission alone. Prices are the lowest listed, per adult, ages 27 to 120; the hours and the days belong to each option.

Does the late start tour include both castle tickets?

Know before you go

• The official ticket page asks you to reach Hohenschwangau 1.5 to 2 hours before your Neuschwanstein Castle entry time. Be in the courtyard before the time on your ticket. Late arrivals cannot join the castle tour.
• The castle's directions page gives 30 to 40 minutes uphill from the Ticket Center Hohenschwangau to Neuschwanstein Castle. The shuttle bus costs €3.50 uphill or €5 return on the Ticket Center's transport page. The bus ride from P4 takes about 15 minutes, followed by 15 minutes downhill on foot to the castle.
• The horse carriage from Hotel Müller towards Neuschwanstein Castle takes about 20 minutes and costs €8 uphill or €4 downhill. The carriage stop leaves 10 to 15 minutes uphill on foot to the castle. Neither the shuttle bus nor the horse carriage has a fixed timetable or accepts reservations.
• The Ticket Center's FAQ permits regular backpacks and handbags, while excluding bulky luggage and hiking backpacks. Strollers stay in the courtyard storage room under the Ticket Center's family page rules. The castle's visitor information page prohibits photography and filming inside the castle.
• Cancellation gives a full refund at least 24 hours before departure. Lunch is paid separately. Your 10 hours cover the road travel and lunch break as well as the visits. Gray Line's adult fare starts at age 27; ages 15 to 26 use the youth fare.
• Winter snow or ice can close Marienbrücke and stop the shuttle bus. The castle route remains open when the bridge closes. Your castle ticket still has a fixed entry time.
