CASTLE TICKETS & TOURS
Both castles must be seen on guided tours (in German or English), which last about 35 minutes
each (Hohenschwangau is first). Timed tickets are only available from the Ticket Centre ( 930
40; www.hohenschwangau.de ; Alpenseestrasse 12; tickets 8am-5pm Apr-Sep, 9am-3pm Oct-
Mar) at the foot of the castles. In summer, come as early as 8am to ensure you get in that day.
When visiting both castles, enough time is left between tours for the steep 30- to 40-minute walk
between the castles. Alternatively, you can shell out €5 for a horse-drawn carriage ride, which is
only marginally quicker.
All Munich's tour companies ( Click here ) run day excursions out to the castles.
