Munich Half Day Trip

Hi,

Last time I checked it was a difficult move. 2 hours of travel between Munchen and Fuessen and you still have to take a bus or walk to Neuschwanstein. You won’t have a lot of time before the way back. You can save 1 hour if you make a change in Buchloe but that means you can’t have short transfer time.

Last time I checked I delayed visiting Neuschwanstein and planned it for another travel

Hi @StanLeeG33 

I suggest Nuernberg, about one hour from Muenchen with the ICE. You can also visit a castel in this city.

Hi @Quentin Vuviet ,

thanks for the advise.

I found this tour → https://bavariancastletour.com/castle-tours/skip-the-line-half-day-tour-from-munich-to-neushwanstein-castle/

it was said until 02.30 PM, but not sure if it is true.

Hi @Danhiel ,

thanks for the suggestion !

That tour seems very expensive.

Since you need to go to Zurich afterwards I would not go back to Munich. Hours lost in transit.

Take all your luggage with you (there should be lockers in Füssen, double check), visit the castle and then catch the EC in Buchloe.

You can leave München in the morning, have a 4-5 hour break in Füssen, and then arrive in Zürich in the evening. You can add a via station and the duration of the break in the DB app to find the best trains.

but the thing is .. is there any transport from Neuschwanstein Castle to nearest train station?

to fussen or to buchloe.

There’s a bus from Füssen to Hohenschwangau (probably taxis too?) and tourist shuttles from there to the castle.

It looks like there aren’t lockers at Füssen, but there are taxis.

Did this last summer, there are relatively frequent busses to the castle and back, connecting with the trains. Be aware that it’s still quite the hike uphill before you get there effectively.

There’s also some bike rental place next to the station, if you prefer that.

I thought I saw luggage lockers at the castle too then.

For the return you should change in Kaufbeuren or Buchloe to get to Switzerland via Kempten or Memmingen, Lindau and Bregenz.

Quite nice railway lines, snaking through the hills, lots of honking and tooting when travelling at the smaller railway lines there, and with nice views on the alps in the distance on a clear day. Very good railway vibes there!

Hi @ralderton thanks for the info..

but I dont see any bus from Hohenschwangau to Fussen.

the earliest is 04 pm, am i right?

Hi @BrendanDB 

do you know where can i find the bus timetable?

i checked from google map, all bring me back to munich first.. 

In Germany, the first thing to check is bahn.de. It includes almost all public transport.

For Bavaria, you can look at this website but it looks like it's in German only.

Thanks @rvdborgt 

seems all are quite late time, i am looking for if there is 2 or 3 pm

Don't go back to Munich. That takes a lot of time.

Hi.. i just checked to feedback@bahnhof.de, there is no locker provided at Fussen station.
