Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Munich to Neuschwanstein Castle, one of the most iconic castles in the world. Perched high on a hilltop, this fairy-tale structure, with its towering spires and intricate design, was the inspiration for Disney’s Sleeping Beauty Castle.

After exploring Neuschwanstein, your journey continues with a scenic drive through the Bavarian Alps to Linderhof Palace, the smallest of King Ludwig II’s castles, but no less impressive. This exquisite palace, set in a stunning park with meticulously landscaped gardens, reflects Ludwig’s passion for opulence and his fascination with European art and culture. You’ll stroll through the ornate rooms, including the Hall of Mirrors, which offers a glimpse into the king’s lavish lifestyle. As you wander through the palace grounds, you’ll encounter fountains, statues, and the famous Venus Grotto, a cave-like structure designed to reflect Ludwig’s love for Wagner’s opera. The beauty of Linderhof, combined with its relatively small scale, gives it an intimate and serene atmosphere compared to the grandeur of Neuschwanstein.
Throughout the day, your expert guide will share fascinating stories about the life of King Ludwig II—his eccentricities, his obsession with grandeur, and the lasting impact he had on Bavaria’s cultural heritage. You’ll learn about the political and historical context that shaped his reign, as well as the artistic inspirations that influenced the design of both castles.
