Worth it?
Book before you go. Interior access is by guided tour only, and advance online tickets are recommended, so do not count on walking in. Inside, the opera-inspired rooms are the reward. Outside, the panoramic view comes from Marienbrücke, and one creator's video simply calls it legendary. It suits first-time Bavaria visitors who want the fairytale castle and are happy to plan around a tour slot.
Before you go
- Book tickets online in advance.
- Walk to Marienbrücke for the panoramic view of the castle.
- Plan around a guided tour time, since there is no wandering inside on your own.
