Day 4 of the trip.
After staying overnight at Fussen, the very end or beginning (depending on which direction you are travelling) of the Romantic Road , today' itinerary are world famous castles, the fairytale castle "Neuschwanstein" built by King Ludwig II and Neo-Gothic Castle Hohenschwangau built by Maximilian II, Ludwigs father.
The tickets cost 9 Euros for each castle or 17 Euros for both. Guided tours are compulsory and will be assigned a time schedule when purchasing tickets. Compared to Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau is really mini. I would recommend only to visit Neuschwanstein; Hohenschwangau looks like some kind of a large residential house or a hotel, I couldn't really connect it with a "castle" when first saw it.
It only took about 20 mins from the visitor centre, where we bought the tickets, to Hohenschwangau by foot.
