It was also Walt Disney’s aspiration for ‘Cinderella’s’ and ‘Sleeping Beauty’s’ castle which aspires many people every day. This castle was built for 17 years with impressive rich decorations such as beautiful chandeliers, pictures and intimate frescos inside. The outside is also impressive as it almost looks unreal.
How to get from Munich to Neuschwanstein:
The average cost of the journey by car is 210 euros and the travel time will be 2 hours 15 minutes. But you can make it much cheaper if you go to Neuschwanstein via public transport. You can get here from Munich by train which goes to Fussen. From Fussen, you can board a bus which will take 10 minutes to Neuschwanstein.

A Bayern ticket costs 23 euros per person and the extra payment for the next passenger will be 4 euros.

Many artists from 21 different nations came together after the wall came down and started to paint the East Side Gallery, which is officially the famous open-air gallery in the world. You can walk along the 1.3 kilometres wall of amazement and discover the colourful and strange drawings on the Berlin Wall that twist the whole thing to a real art work.

Take a look at the Brandenburg Gate
This is the most viewed landmarks in Germany and the icon of Berlin. It has been a symbol of war, peace, terror, victory and war during the Cold War. It also stands for Germany’s reunification.

The Currywurst is the best thing you must try out in Berlin. It’s a hot sausage that you cut in slices with curry powder and ketchup. Invented by Huerta Heuwer in the year 1949, this is typically most famous fast food in Germany. If you want to get the best one, you can possibly get it in Konnopke at Pentwater. But feel free to eat your way through Berlin and discover your favourite. However, if you are not into fast food, you can go to the Currywurst Museum and please your hunger with culture.
Enjoy a decent beer at the Hofbrauhaus beer garden
Beer is a main part of the German culture. It has managed to grasp a passion for their delicious and well-made beer in the whole world. Hofbrauhaus is a sign of Munich’s hospitality and a Bavarian gift for establishing a cosy and festive atmosphere. If you are a beer lover, I would really suggest that you come to Hofbrauhaus and have a decent beer. The cost of the beer per litre is 8 euros. That might seems a little bit expensive, but believe me, it is worth to try. Hofbrauhaus is also a nice place to hear some German music and eat gigantic pretzels. The place can be noisy, busy and huge and you can also expect to share the table.
