Neuschwanstein Castle Day Trip from Frankfurt
1 day
Full Day
About this activity
Enjoy your ride from central Frankfurt in the morning and relax on the scenic drive south through Bavaria's Alpine foothills. At the southernmost tip of the breathtaking Romantic Road, reach the enchanting little town of Füssen, approximately 161 miles (260 km) south of Frankfurt. Sitting high on a rocky outcrop overlooking the valley is Neuschwanstein Castle, the breathtaking Neo-Gothic Revival palace of King Ludwig II of Bavaria that served as the inspiration for Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty.
When you arrive at Neuschwanstein Castle, skip the entrance lines for a guided tour. Welcoming nearly 6,000 visitors per day and popular year-round, Neuschwanstein garners long entrance lines, but you’ll bypass the crowds and head straight inside with your guide.
One of three royal palaces built for the king, Neuschwanstein is by far the most distinctive, with its dizzyingly high perch, stunning grandeur and ornate interior. Tour the castle's interior, where the richness of King Ludwig is showcased on full scale, with his opulent living quarters and an array of historical paintings, mosaics and ornaments that display the impressive craftsmanship of the late 1800s. Your guide will provide fascinating commentary as you walk, describing the shy king who used Neuschwanstein Castle as his personal refuge during his turbulent reign.
After your tour, you’ll have some free time to stroll around the castle grounds, shop for souvenirs and enjoy spectacular photo opportunities against the backdrop of the Bavarian Alps. Re-board the vehicle in the afternoon for the drive back to Frankfurt, and enjoy a provided lunchbox along the way.

We were just three of us booked for the tour. Still the company honoured the committment It was more or less like a private car tour on a luxurious car. With such a distance to cover we took full benefit of Autobahn reaching top speed of 220 Great trip, Amazing Value. Absolutely recommended.
Although it was a rainy, cold day in August when we went the tour guide could not have been better! It was myself, my son, and another couple on the tour so there was leeway in our itinerary. Rothenburg was gorgeous and unique. I wished we had more time there and plan on going back! A unique experience -- but be prepared -- the day is a long one. Ours started at 8:30am and ended at 10pm!!
We had a great time on our tour. The tour guide and our driver for the day, Peter was so friendly, informative and made the whole trip so much fun! He drove very well and got us there and back in good time. We loved all the details he gave us on the way and how willing and flexible he was to allow us to have a good time despite the tight schedule. The only things that can be improved are that the van itself was a little dirty and could be cleaner. Also would have been nice to include some time to each lunch or dinner at Rothenburg to complete the tour. Overall an excellent trip and glad we made the choice to go with this tour. 5 stars for Peter who was one of the best people we met during our whole trip to Germany!
Got to see a lot of Germany on this tour. Our driver was very knowledgable and had amazing stamina. Enjoyed extra stop at Rothenburg. Would have appreciated better dinner stop. Glad we took this tour.
Had a wonderful time on the trip, it left on time and returned on time, we were well looked after throughout the day and the driver was excellent, he (Jack) was full of stories and information about the region we were traveling through and was very informative and funny. He was explained correctly time lines for the day and made sure the bus was warm enough and we had enough food and drink for the trip, He was also very helpful at recommending other sights to see after the trip. The castle was fantastic to see and the town of Rothenburg was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed the excursion and would recommend it to anyone.
