Know before you go

Neuschwanstein Castle ticket or Munich tour?

The official price list puts adult Neuschwanstein Castle admission at €21 at the Ticket Center Hohenschwangau. The adult ticket costs €23.50 through the official online ticket shop, including the €2.50 booking fee. Your train and local bus fares are separate.

Neuschwanstein Castle tour time

Neuschwanstein Castle tours last about 30 minutes, as set out on the castle's opening hours page. Be in the castle courtyard before your ticket time. Late arrivals cannot join the tour.

How do you get up to Neuschwanstein Castle?

The castle's directions page gives 30 to 40 minutes for the walk from the Ticket Center Hohenschwangau to Neuschwanstein Castle. Your walk covers about 1.5 km of steep paved road.

The shuttle bus costs €3.50 uphill or €5 return on the Ticket Center's transport page. The ride from car park P4 to the stop above the castle takes about 15 minutes. The steep descent from the stop to the castle gate takes another 15 minutes.

The horse carriage costs €8 uphill and €4 downhill. The ride from Hotel Müller takes about 20 minutes. The final climb to the castle gate takes 10 to 15 minutes. Neither the shuttle bus nor the horse carriage has a timetable or takes reservations.

Neuschwanstein Castle opens 10:00–16:00 from 16 October to 27 March, as shown on the Ticket Center's opening times page. The castle closes on 1 January and 24, 25 and 31 December.

Snow and ice can close the bridge without stopping castle tours, as the Marienbrücke page explains. The shuttle bus stops when roads have snow or ice. The horse carriage to Hohenschwangau Castle stops for winter.
