I heard that Neuschwanstein Castle inspired Walt Disney to build the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland. Therefore, I was wondering where, exactly, is Neuschwanstein Castle located and what is its history. How can I visit the castle?

Neuschwanstein castle is indeed a fairy-tale-like landmark. It is located in the German Alps in Bavaria. In fact, the castle is one of the most famous attractions in Europe.
The castle sits on a hill above the village of Hohenschwangau in southwestern Bavaria. It was commissioned to be built by King Ludwig II in 1868. However, the final towers were not completed until 1892. Because the king died in 1886, he did not see the final structure.
Guided day trips are currently available from Munich that feature a Neuschwanstein castle tour. Learn more about the journey here.
