Sightseeing

Neuschwanstein Castle

Munich · Germany

Neuschwanstein Castle is Bavaria's most fairy-tale landmark, a 19th-century Romanesque Revival palace perched dramatically on a rugged hilltop above the village of Hohenschwangau. Commissioned by the reclusive King Ludwig II of Bavaria and completed after his mysterious death, it inspired Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle and remains Germany's most visited tourist attraction. The interior's lavishly decorated throne room and dazzling views reward the steep approach hike.
