Neuschwanstein Castle Tour from Munich

Radius Tours option and castle admission

Neuschwanstein Castle admission costs extra on the single Radius Tours option, which lasts about 10 hours. The guide speaks English. Your fare covers the return transport from Munich. Prices are the lowest listed, per adult, ages 14 to 99; the hours and the days belong to each option.

Does Radius Tours use a train or coach to Neuschwanstein Castle?

Radius Tours uses a coach from May to October for its 10 hour Neuschwanstein Castle trip. The train period runs from November to April, but December also appears among the coach dates. The December transport details conflict. Get the transport type for your December date before booking.

What's included

The single option includes return transport and guiding; castle admission is paid at check in, while food and drinks cost extra.

Radius Tours or an official Neuschwanstein Castle ticket?

Know before you go

• Your Neuschwanstein Castle admission has a fixed entry time. Be in the courtyard before the time on your ticket. Late arrivals cannot join the tour. Count back: allow for the uphill walk and security checks before castle entry.
• Walking from the Ticket Center Hohenschwangau to Neuschwanstein Castle takes 30 to 40 minutes on the castle's directions page. The road climbs steeply. The shuttle bus and horse carriage both leave a final walk to the castle entrance.
• The shuttle bus costs €3.50 uphill or €5 return on the Marienbrücke page. The ride from car park P4 takes about 15 minutes. The steep walk downhill from the upper stop to the castle takes another 15 minutes. The shuttle bus does not run on snow or ice.
• The horse carriage costs €8 uphill and €4 downhill on the Ticket Center's transport page. The ride from opposite Hotel Müller takes about 20 minutes. The last uphill walk takes 10 to 15 minutes. Neither the shuttle bus nor the horse carriage has a timetable or reservations.
• Regular size backpacks and handbags are allowed under the Ticket Center's FAQ. Large luggage and bulky hiking backpacks cannot go inside the castle. Strollers can enter the courtyard and stay in the designated room during the castle tour.
• Photography and filming inside Neuschwanstein Castle are prohibited on the castle's visitor information page. Exterior photographs for private use are allowed. Infants on the Radius Tours trip must sit on an adult's lap.
