Overview
Take a trip to Neuschwanstein Castle on your Germany Vacation
Located on the foothills of the Alps, Neuschwanstein Castle looks straight out of a fairy tale. King Ludwig II, known for his eccentric habits, had the castle built to withdraw from public life. Walt Disney used the castle as inspiration for Cinderella's and Sleeping Beauty's castles in Disneyland. Construction of the castle began in 1869, and upon the king's passing, the palace was opened to the public.
The castle's interiors feature elaborately decorated rooms. The Throne Room is bathed in shimmering gold paint, and its huge gold chandelier hangs from a ceiling painted with stars in the night sky. The Hall of Singers was designed for performances of Richard Wagner's operas and features murals depicting the saga of Parzival and the Holy Grail. The castle was technologically ahead of its time, with central heating, hot running water, flushing toilets, and an electric bell system. Neuschwanstein Castle receives 10,000 visitors each day. July to September is the high season. As tickets sell out fast, prior booking is advised.

What do the experts say?
Globetrotters need to get a picture at Neuschwanstein Castle, the fairytale-like castle in Bavaria. It's a highly recognizable and picturesque location that consistently draws visitors for its stunning architecture and scenic surroundings. I have visited this place several times and it's a knock-out setting for photography!
Germany has several iconic castle hotels offering a unique and luxurious stay experience that can be booked through Goway's local partners. Some popular options include Schloss Hotel Kronberg, Burghotel auf Schönburg, and Schlosshotel Steinburg. These hotels provide a blend of historical charm and modern comforts, often set in picturesque locations like the Rhine Valley or the Bavarian Alps.
Germany has a highly efficient and well-integrated public transportation system that is good for both local and long-distance travel options. This includes buses, trams, subways (U-Bahn), suburban trains (S-Bahn), and high-speed trains (ICE, IC), among others. Public transport is generally reliable, comfortable, and relatively affordable, making it a popular choice for both residents and tourists.
One must-do or must-see local event is the Oktoberfest in Munich, the world's largest beer festival and folk festival, held annually. It's a vibrant celebration of Bavarian culture, featuring beer tents, traditional music, dances, amusement rides, and Bavarian cuisine.
Germany's rich history and internationalism make it unlike anywhere you've ever been in Europe. Its turbulent history brings a wealth of historical attractions, like the Berlin Wall, Brandenburg Gate, Bundestag

Michael Keon, our Destination Specialist, is extremely proficient and knowledgeable in his profession. "Thorough" is an understatement.

He provided unparalleled guidance and support during the planning process and was always available to discuss any questions/concerns. His communications were always prompt and concise.
Without a doubt, our best trip to date...there will be no hesitation to contact Mr. Keon for future travels.

Joanna MaysWhat made this experience great was Cedric Wai. Had a client going to Asia and this is Cedric's wheelhouse since he is from there.
Everything was wonderful. Everything went smoothly. The individual tours were wonderful and all the guides were exceptional. A lot of traveling-the flight was very good on Cathay Pacific would highly recommend their airline seats were comfortable and spaced well. Being on an airplane for 16 hours sucks in general, but other than being a little sore from being stuck in one place all was good.
Thank you so much for all your help and the trip was wonderful and everything that it should be! Next trip will be much more relaxing, sitting still for a while on a beach somewhere ha ha!Careen SullivanAndrea Paredes helped me plan a last minute Colombia trip for my clients who had never been! They loved every minute of it. The hotels, history, excursions, and flights went very smooth. They were so happy with all their tour guides. Deanna Frisbie BorregoMy destination specialist, Katie Stephenson was amazing from the onset. Her customer service, communication style and planning skills was so timely and top notch.
Our trip was to Fiji, New Zealand and Australia, from Aug 4-22, 2026. The way she planned and booked the trip makes the experience convenient and enjoyable. The flexibility of payment makes the decision faster and attractive. Everything we need to know including contacts were readily available within our travel documents itinerary.
Overall, I'll say it's money well spent and a lifetime experience particularly for my kids.FestusI'm a new travel agent and used Goway to help plan a group trip to the UK. Ani, from Goway was so great! She was very detailed oriented, she had great communication and was very thorough in the planning. I felt confident that my clients would be taken care of. My clients had an amazing trip and loved all of it! SieKyeAthul Ajay was our travel agent and he was excellent from the beginning to the end of planning our trip. Great at communicating and replying back too. Sabrina GaffoglioIsabella Luu made the arrangements for our trip to Scotland and all aspects of the trip and stay were excellent. Our assistance at the airports were very good as all were alerted to our needs. Our ride services were excellent. Isabella was always available to answer any questions that we had in a knowledgable and prompt manner, which is always very important to me.Audrey HenryHad an excellent tour of Australia, thanks to our travel specialist Katie Stephenson. She was patient as we kept modifying our plans. Got support from Goway and Katie when there was a need to rebook a tour midway through, all handled easily by Goway.Ron PrestonWe went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja Breiling
