🇩🇪 Munich | Neuschwanstein + Linderhof + Herrenchiemsee

‼️ BIG NEWS! On July 12, 2025, three fairy-tale palaces in southern Germany — Neuschwanstein Castle, Linderhof Palace, and Herrenchiemsee Palace — were officially inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List! A must-visit for palace lovers! 🏰✨ 🗓️ 2-Day Itinerary Overview: ✅ Day 1 | Munich → Neuschwanstein Castle + Linderhof Palace (self-drive recommended) ✅ Day 2 | Munich → Herrenchiemsee Palace (Chiemsee Lake) 🏰 Neuschwanstein Castle: The masterpiece of the "Fairy Tale King" Ludwig II, one of the world’s most iconic dream castles. 📍 Location: Near Füssen, in the town of Schwangau, Bavaria. 🚉 From Munich: Take a train to Füssen → bus/taxi to the castle foot. 🚗 *Self-driving is more convenient! About 2 hours from Munich.* 🏰 Linderhof Palace: The only palace fully completed during Ludwig II’s lifetime and his favorite retreat. Though smaller than Neuschwanstein, it’s exquisitely luxurious and one of Germany’s most refined palaces! 📍 Located in Ettal, Bavaria. 🚗 About 1 hour from Neuschwanstein. Perfect to combine both in one day! 🏰 Herrenchiemsee Palace: Built on an island in Chiemsee Lake, this was Ludwig II’s tribute to Louis XIV of France — a "German Versailles"! Extremely opulent yet surprisingly underrated. 📍 Starting point: Prien am Chiemsee (~1.5-hour drive from Munich). 🚢 Must take a boat to the island! • Route: Prien → Herreninsel → Fraueninsel → Prien • Ticket: ~€13 for adults (purchase onsite or via chiemsee-schifffahrt.de). Palace tickets are bought separately on the island. 🇩🇪 A journey through southern Germany’s fairy-tale palaces — a cultural experience like no other! 💫 #MunichDayTrips #GermanyTravel #Neuschwanstein #LinderhofPalace #Chiemsee
