Neuschwanstein early — before the coaches arrive
Neuschwanstein receives thousands of visitors a day. The trick: start early. From Tannheim it’s about 60 minutes, and arriving at the ticket centre by 9 am means a far quieter experience than the midday rush.
Book your timed entry ticket online in advance and allow extra time for the walk up to the Marienbrücke.
