Though intended as a private retreat for the king, it was opened to the public shortly after his death and now captivates millions of visitors annually.Getting Up to Neuschwanstein Castle:On Foot: The most economical option, it's a steep but well-maintained paved walk that takes approximately 20 minutes.Shuttle Bus: Buses depart every 20 min. . From the bus stop, it's about a 10-15 minute downhill walk to the castle entrance. Tickets can be bought on the bus.
