Top-notch castle experience but... Getting the tickets was an Odyssey! I purchased them online to have as much comfort as possible, but instead, the tickets had to be picked up at a shop!! Basically, the shop where we had to pick up the tickets was in Fussen; we went the day before to be comfortable, but the gentleman told us he could only give them to us the next day. He gave us an email with an entry time for the castle of 11:55 AM and advised us to show up at his place the next day at 9:00 AM, but unfortunately, he didn't show up until 9:40 AM, and then he told us he had the wrong time and that the tickets were for 11:45 AM, so it was a race against time. Never again
The ticket pickup was super easy but they changed the time on us and we had to hurry to make it. This time change was last minute, like 30 minutes before when we arrived to pick up tickets this was a change. Also, if you can buy direct from the castle, tickets are 21 euro vice us paying ~$50 usd. The ticket pickup is also 15 minutes from where you start walking or taking a shuttle.
Such a beautiful castle to visit. My only concern was the shuttle bus up. If you get motion sickness, take the walk up. It was a very windy road and the driver was fairly confident in those turns. Other than that, the tour itself was amazing. While you can't take pictures in the castle itself, the balcony offered stunning views which you could take pictures from.
Everything worked perfectly. We were able to pick up the tickets first thing in the morning and still had enough time to look around the area beforehand.
The employee was very friendly and politely pointed out all the important information to us. We spent a dreamlike day in Hohenschwangau.
We picked up the tickets in advance in Füssen and hiked to the castle. This was already sold out days in advance and it was really practical to have had the tickets in hand beforehand without having to worry about whether you would even get any at all. Great service and highly recommended
Read the product before you book and make sure to arrive at pick up point as advised! We got delayed a few minutes due to traffic from Munich, but made it to the castle entrance on time. Communication between our host and us was superbe. I definitely recommend!
★★★★★ We had a wonderful visit to Neuschwanstein Castle. Collecting our tickets in Füssen was quick and easy, and the staff gave us clear directions for getting to the castle. Everything was well organised, and the castle itself was unforgettable.
Total waste of effort! Heavy traffic delayed arrival to pickup point. Missed pickup time Vendor was absolutely superb at indifference! Best example of “I could care lass” I have ever seen. Highly recommended if you’re looking to get aggravated.
