I think the whole area is a must-have destination. The nature there and picturesque views are amazing! We weren't inside the castle, but its exterior is fantastic. Mary's bridge was also closed, but there are a lot of other things to fall in love with. We enjoyed the surroundings, took the walk tour and boat ride on the lake, and we took the last direct train to Munich. So, there is not enough time in one day for everything. :-) We went everywhere by ourselves, without tour agencies. There is all necessary info in internet (maps, train info, area scheme, etc.) We were in summer, but the spring is coming soon, so it will be warm again.

We could not buy any tickets in advance for Neuschwanstein and had decided just to walk up to it and have a look and buy the other castle ticket on the day. When we got to the ticket office we asked if there were any tours available for N and were amazed when they said they could get us on an English tour at 2pm. There are not many tours in english throughout the day, literally 1 or 2. If you go on a German tour they give you a sheet of paper to read the information from. We were at the ticket office at 10am so not there very early. The ticket office is at the base of the 2 castles, you walk in completely different directions to get to the castles. So you go to the one for the tour, come back to the base (could have lunch here or coffee) and then walk the other direction to the other castle. They will not let you swop tours, they are extremely strict. Each tour group is taken one at a time so you will not see the tour group before or after you. They keep you all together. I hope this helps

Salve, se ha acquistato online i biglietti in teoria non dovrebbe cambiarli da alcuna biglietteria, anche perché non ci sono biglietterie all'ingresso dei castelli. Le file per entrare non sono lunghe vista anche questa situazione di pandemia COVID-19 che causa ingressi scaglionati. Tra i due castelli un'ora a piedi basta e avanza

i tempi di attesa per la carrozza sono più lunghi del tempo per arrivare al castello... la salita è abbastanza impegnativa.
