Why Kids Love It
Nestled in the Alps near Füssen, Neuschwanstein’s turrets and towers look like they’re straight out of a fairy tale. Kids love the 45-minute guided tour, which covers King Ludwig II’s dreamy rooms (think thrones and chandeliers!). The castle’s kid-friendly audio guides make history fun with simple stories. Outside, the surrounding forest has easy trails, like the path to Marienbrücke bridge, where kids can gawk at the castle from above. The nearby Alpsee lake offers pedal boats for splashy fun, perfect for little adventurers.
Parent Hacks
Book castle tour tickets online to avoid long lines—kids don’t do well with waiting! Tours are stroller-free, so bring a carrier for tots.

The area’s compact, but wear comfy shoes for cobblestone paths. Use our flight widget for travel deals, and note that Go Travel Un Limited handles bookings, so review their terms.
