🇩🇪 Neuschwanstein Castle from Munich | Ultimate Guide 🏰✨

🚆 Public Transport Options 1️⃣ Train: Munich HBF → Füssen (BRB/RB68, ~2h) → Bus 78/73 to Schwangau (10 mins). Pro tip: Regional passes cover both train & bus! 🎫 2️⃣ FlixBus: Direct to castle (8:20AM dep, 5:40PM return, ~€50 round-trip). ⛰️ Getting Up the Mountain 🚌 Bus: €3 up / €2 down / €3.5 round-trip 🐎 Horse carriage: €8 (long queues!) 🚶 Walk: 30-min paved uphill path (easy even in dresses!). 🏰 Visiting the Castle Interior tickets: €18 + €2.5 booking fee (book ahead!). Honest take: "Not worth it"—only 6 rooms open to public. 📸 Best Photo Spots 1️⃣ Marienbrücke Bridge: Iconic view (queue up to 20 mins in peak season). 2️⃣ Secret Overlook: Beyond the bridge, hike 6-7 mins to a steep cliff (insta-famous spot!). ⚠️ Safety first! No skirts/dangerous poses—a Czech gymnast tragically fell here recently. 🏞️ Alpsee Lake Detour Hike down: 40-min rugged trail from Marienbrücke → Alpsee (swim/paddle in summer!). 💍 Jay Chou’s Wedding Photo Spot 📍 Schwangauer Str. 45 (best for drivers—idyllic meadows + castle backdrop!). #Neuschwanstein #Munich #FairytaleGermany #TravelEurope
