Practical Tips

• Transportation: Since transport isn’t included, plan to arrive early at the meeting point, especially if you’re coming from further afield. The parking area is accessible by bus, and check the bus schedules in advance.
• Timing: Check availability beforehand, as the duration varies from 1 to 2 hours. Keep in mind that the best lighting is often early morning or late afternoon, so plan accordingly.
• What to Wear: In the longer package, you can change outfits, so bring multiple options. Neutral colors tend to work best against the castle’s backdrop.
• Weather: Bavarian weather can be unpredictable, so prepare for rain or shine with appropriate clothing and footwear. The views are spectacular in all weather, but avoid heavy rain if possible.
