Neuschwanstein is one of the most visited castles in Europe and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. If you have not yet visited, doubt no more.

For a visit to Neuschwanstein Castle it is advisable to take at least half a day to see its gorgeous content but if you can make a whole day trip, then even better.

There are 200 rooms in total, including bedrooms, with large dimensions and all are really worth seeing along with the wall paintings that tell the really interesting history.
In the 19th century when Neuschwanstein Castle was built it was considered a very modern castle offering maximum comfort. It had central heating to heat the rooms in winter time. The castle had running water, and good internal communication wiring helped the king to call his servants. It also had an elevator to facilitate daily life.
