4 Skip-the-Line Tickets in Munich to Build a Day Around

1.Half-Day Skip-the-Line Neuschwanstein Castle Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 110 reviews · 7 hours · from $211Our pick

Meet at Munich Central Station at 7:15am for a guided train and van trip to Neuschwanstein. You’ll visit Marienbrücke, tour the castle with an audio guide, and return by about 2:20pm. Guides such as Lahdo and Augie have been praised for clear directions, local stories, and thoughtful service.

“The experience was good overall, however an extra hour of time should be allowed at the castle location. The timing of the train connection returning to Munich is such that it is difficult to enjoy the castle venue and associated shoppes and restaurants. It feels a bit rushed. The guide was excellent and was very considerate and attentive.”

His amazing depth of knowledge and engaging facts of not only the politics of Munich but the interesting everyday life through its history, kept us walking and talking all over Old Town. Two hours went by in a flash and ended with an inspired recommendation for dinner!”
