About
Avoid the long lines and book your Skip-the-line Ticket with us. You collect your ticket in our office at the train station in Füssen on the day of your tour and go by bus or car to the village of Hohenschwangau. You then have the choice of walking up to the castle or taking a horse and carriage to Hohenschwangau Castle. As you already have your ticket there is no need for you to join any long lines.
