MUNICH, BAVARIA GERMANY GROUP EXCURSION

ROYAL CASTLES: NEUSCHWANSTEIN AND LINDERHOF

Highlights: Hidden in the seclusion of the mountains Ludwig II built two of his dream castles: Neuschwanstein and Linderhof. This excursion shows you two extraordinary castles, both testifying to the vision of Bavaria’s fairytale king. There will be a short stop in Oberammergau for shopping.

NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE

Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th-century historicist palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by King Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and in honor of Richard Wagner. The lavish structure of the castle is complete with a walled courtyard, an indoor garden, spires, towers, and an artificial cave.

LINDERHOF PALACE

Linderhof Palace is a Schloss in Germany, in southwest Bavaria near the village of Ettal. It is the smallest of the three palaces built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria and the only one which he lived to see completed.

The gardens surrounding Linderhof Palace are considered one of the most beautiful creations of historicist garden design, designed by Court Garden Director Carl von Effner. The park combines elements of Renaissance and Baroque formal gardens with landscaped sections that are similar to the English landscape garden.

MUNICH CHRISTMAS MARKET TOUR

Highlights: Experience the atmosphere of an authentic Christmas market in a traditional setting and Lubkechen gingerbread cake.

Munich Historic City Center

Highlights: Walk around the Munich historic city center to soak in the amazing architecture of the old town hall and historical monuments.

Optional Must Visit Places Around the Munich City Center

  • Neues Rathaus & Glockenspiel

The tower of the Rathaus features the famous Glockenspiel, a clock that plays music and turns through a wheel of interesting Munich characters, recreating the 1568 tournament for the marriage of Duke William V and Renata of Lorraine. The “Schäffler” dancers on the lowest tier of the Glockenspiel are said to be luring Munich citizens back out of their homes after the plague hit Munich in the early 1500s. The Glockenspiel plays every day at 11AM and 5PM. The Rathaus also contains a memorial room to the two World Wars and the Ratskeller, a restaurant.

  • Feldernhalle

The Feldherrnhalle is a monumental building on the Odeonsplatz in Munich, Germany. Modeled after the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, it was commissioned in 1841 by King Ludwig I of Bavaria to honor the tradition of the Bavarian Army. It’s a popular photo opportunity in Munich.

  • Bavarian National Museum

Munich is located in Bavaria, the largest German state by land area. Bavaria has a long history of its own, separate from Germany. The state is proud of independence, and is officially referred to as the “free state of Bavaria”. In the Bavarian National Museum, you can learn more about the history of the state and its people from the bustling city of Munich to the more remote communities in the Alps.
