Know before you go

• The group booking requires at least 8 adults and allows up to 15 people. Children are aged 0 to 17 for this tour's fare bands. Traveller cancellations receive no refund.
• The guided interior visit at Neuschwanstein Castle lasts about 30 minutes on the castle's opening hours page. Your private booking still joins a shared castle tour. Be in the courtyard before your ticket time; late arrivals cannot join.
• The castle's directions page gives 30 to 40 minutes uphill from the Ticket Center Hohenschwangau to Neuschwanstein Castle on foot. The shuttle bus takes about 15 minutes from P4, followed by about 15 minutes downhill to the entrance.
• The Ticket Center's transport page gives public fares: shuttle bus €3.50 uphill or €5 return; horse carriage €8 uphill or €4 downhill. The carriage takes about 20 minutes, then 10 to 15 minutes uphill on foot to Neuschwanstein Castle. Neither service has a timetable or reservations.
• Special Private Tours requires moderate fitness for this route. The Ticket Center's FAQ allows regular size backpacks and handbags, excluding bulky luggage and hiking backpacks. Strollers can be left in the courtyard's designated room, as the Ticket Center's family page explains.
• The castle's visitor information page prohibits photography and filming inside Neuschwanstein Castle. Winter ice or snow can close the bridge, as the Marienbrücke page explains. The shuttle bus does not run with snow or ice.
