About Neuschwanstein Castle Day Trip

The fairy tale castle that inspired Disney — Ludwig II's 1886 Romanesque Revival castle perched on a Alpine crag 2 hours from Munich, overlooking turquoise Alpsee and the Bavarian Alps. Book tickets months in advance for summer; the Marienbrücke bridge view is the classic shot. The most-visited castle in Europe.

English Garden (Englischer Garten)

The largest urban park in the world — bigger than Central Park and Hyde Park combined, with a beer garden at the Chinese Tower, a river surfing wave (the Eisbach) where surfers ride a standing wave in the middle of the city, and meadows where nude sunbathing is entirely normal. The most beloved park in Germany.
