Neuschwanstein is the ultimate fairy-tale castle and Germany’s most famous attraction. Begun in 1869 and never finished, it was intended as a tribute to medieval German chivalry and to Wagner and his music. We also visit the beautiful Wieskirche, meaning Meadow Church, Germany’s best-known pilgrimage church.

Half Day: Linderhof Castle
Known among locals as the ‘Wedding Cake’, the palace of Linderhof is a replica of Louis the XIV’s Versailles. The only one of Ludwig’s castles that was actually completed, Linderhof was built as the King’s private retreat and is surrounded by carefully maintained gardens.
