Amazing visit at Herrenchiemsee, on a snowy and cold day. Probably because of those difficult conditions, we had the privilege of having a private tour of the castle, with Carolina. She was an outstanding guide, full of energy, engaging and really friendly. We had a great time! Beware though, if you come in winter, the castle is very cold inside, and you won’t move much, so keep extra layers. Fountains are covered but pretty much everything else works as normal, boats run every hour from Prien and cafe in the castle is open. The park, though not as spectacular as in the summer, looked like a winter wonderland ❄️

Spectacular visit to this Schloss -- really needs half a day. The ferry ride across the See is pleasant and calm, the breezes are refreshing on a warm summer day. Great to learn the history and experience the charm of this beautiful setting.

Absolutely stunning Castle built by King Ludwig II located on a beautiful island in Bavaria. The palace tour we took was amazing. Our tour was in English and our guide was terrific. Extremely knowledgeable on the history of the castle. She was very friendly and spoke perfect English. The castle rooms were spectacular. The two bedrooms are out of this world in terms of its decor. It is amazing that 2/3 of this castle are still not completed. King Ludwig barely stayed here before he died. The castle grounds are perfectly manicured. Several beautiful fountains. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the outdoors. The walk around the grounds was very peaceful. We took the train from the main train station and the boat across to the castle. We had a perfect day out and loved our visit. Highly recommend visiting this majestic castle.

Lake Helen Kim Palace is a magnificent palace modeled after the Palace of Versailles in France. It is a Baroque building. In winter, flocks of geese and ducks graze on the lake, and strolling through the woods on the island offers stunning views of the vibrant autumn foliage.

Magnificent, and rich interiors. If the king hadn't lived in his dream project for more than a handful of days, it wouldn't deserve to be visited more than once in my lifetime. The palace guided tour is about 40 minutes. No photography allowed strictly! This is what I didn't like the most. It's worth the hype and not worth the hype at the same time. The museum is also an interesting visit.
