The 3 Winter Days Out in Munich to Book First

1.Winter Tour to Neuschwanstein Castle from Munich

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 122 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $87Our pick

Leave central Munich at 9:00 am for a full-day coach trip to Neuschwanstein Castle. An English-speaking guide, such as Charlie, Christine, or Cansel, shares Bavarian history along the way, including a drive through Oberammergau. You get about four hours near the castle, but pay the €24 entrance fee in cash and allow time for the uphill walk.

“It was well organized and coordinated. The history presented was well articulated. The ride was safe.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 9 hours to 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $752Top rated

This private 9 to 10.5-hour trip pairs Zugspitze’s 360-degree summit views with flexible stops such as Eibsee, Oberammergau and Linderhof. A licensed guide such as Stefan, Karl or Christian handles the drive and local context in a luxury minivan. Mountain tickets, meals and optional attraction fees cost extra.

“Karl was a wonderful tour guide. Very friendly, informative, knowledgeable, and conversational. He provided lovely suggestions during the day including delicious spots to eat and spectacular views. He was communicative regarding meeting times and went out of his way to provide a seamless trip. We went to Zugspitze, rode the cable car, visited Eibsee lake, had lunch, visited the Olympic stadium with ski lift, drove through Oberammergau and stopped for amazing ice cream! I would recommend this trip to anyone interested.”

Maria and Stefan are among the guides named on past tours.

“We absolutely loved our tour of Neuschwanstein Castle! It is absolutely gorgeous! Take the carriage ride up to the restaurant area because it's a very steep climb to the castle.”
