Itinerary

Schloss Herrenchiemsee

3 hours Admission not included

The enchanting Herrenchiemsee Castle, also known as the Bavarian Versailles, was built by the mad King Ludwig II of Bavaria in 1878. The castle stands in the middle of Bavaria's largest lake, Chiemsee, and is surrounded by a beautiful park with many fountains, statues and floral decorations. The luxurious building was modelled on Versailles with the idea of creating a 'temple of glory' for the French King Louis XIV, whom the Bavarian monarch admired. The royal interiors are inlaid with gold, the Hall of Mirrors is even larger than the original in Versailles, rare paintings, richly decorated furniture and unique frescoes. Particularly noteworthy is the replica of the bedroom from the Palace of Versailles and the marble bathroom with the King's bathtub. In addition to the charming interiors, the King Louis II Museum is located on the ground floor. In addition to the castle, the island is also home to a baroque Augustinian monastery known as the 'Old Castle'. It now houses a gallery.
Fortress Hohensalzburg

3 hours Admission not included

When you've had enough of the beauty Herrenchiemsee Palace, a comfortable private transfer awaits you to the next gem. The imposing Fortress Hohensalzburg is the largest surviving fortress in Central Europe and offers breathtaking 360° panoramic views. Originally built in 1077 by Archbishop Gebhard as a defensive fortress, it sits atop the Festungsberg hill. It still occupies a dominant position today, overlooking the city of Salzburg as its eternal guardian. Inside the castle there are several museum exhibitions. On the third floor are the original rooms, including the Princes' Hall, the Golden Chamber and the Golden Hall. The furnishings in these rooms are original and have remained unchanged since 1501/1502. The historic city centre is also beautiful, where you can visit the filming locations of the iconic musical The Sound of Music.
