Several Hours in the Village, and a Museum to Fall Back On if It Rains
Neuschwanstein, the castle Ludwig II built in the Bavarian Alps, reached by coach from Munich. The stay in Hohenschwangau runs to several hours, which is the point of this version: enough time for lunch, for the guided tour of Neuschwanstein in English, and for whatever else you want to do with the afternoon. The walk up to the Marienbrücke is where the photographs of the castle come from. Hohenschwangau castle can be seen from the outside, and when the weather allows there is the path along the Alpsee. When it rains, there is somewhere to go: the Museum of the Bavarian Kings, at your own expense.

Sonnenstraße 1, München-Altstadt-Lehel
Stand at Karlsplatz (Stachus) with your back to the fountains and the Obletter toy shop is on your left. Carry straight on along Sonnenstraße to the Fielmann opticians. The guide and the coach are there.
Stachus
Meet at 8:45 a.m. at Sonnenstraße 1, 80331 Munich, where the coach is marked "Mentor Reisen". The driver and guide check you in there. Departure at 9:00 a.m., past a few Munich landmarks the guide explains on the way, heading for the village of Hohenschwangau.
Oberammergau
The road passes through Oberammergau, the village of artists, known for its painted facades, the Lüftlmalerei, and for woodcarving. The Passion Play staged there every ten years covers the last week of the life of Jesus, from Palm Sunday to Easter. The village is toured from the coach, which covers more ground than a short stop on foot would.
Schloss Neuschwanstein
In Hohenschwangau the guide collects the skip-the-line tickets for Neuschwanstein. The free time after that goes on lunch in one of the restaurants, or the walk to Hohenschwangau castle, or the shore of the Alpsee. The Marienbrücke is reachable too, weather permitting. Neuschwanstein itself is 30 to 40 minutes uphill on foot, or by shuttle bus or horse-drawn carriage for a fee; the guide gives the details.
