The Ludwig II Musical
Continued from page 4: Dining at the theatre

ABOVE: The Musical Theatre Neuschwanstein lies on the Forggensee, a lake near Füssen and the royal palaces of Ludwig II.

Archived article

Update: The musical, Ludwig II: Longing for Paradise, is no longer running (or at least it wasn't running the last time I checked). The Festspielhaus in Füssen in Allgäu now stages operas and other productions and continues to offer gastronomy at various price levels in the theatre's restaurants.

How to get there

The Musical Theatre Neuschwanstein in in Füssen, about 80 miles or 129 km from Munich. It's just down the road from the Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles in Schwangau.

Füssen is served by frequent trains, and road connections are excellent. See the City of Füssen's "How to Get to Füssen" page for more details.

By bus from Munich

The Autobus Oberbayern "Ludwig II - Musical Linie" is another option. On Sundays, the bus leaves Munich at 10:30 a.m., giving you time for lunch before the 2:30 p.m. show. It arrives back in Munich at 8 p.m.

At certain times of the year, Autobus Oberbayern offers an excursion to the 7:30 p.m. show that leaves Munich at 3:30 p.m. and arrives back in the city at 1 a.m.

If you wish, you can buy a package that includes bus fare and a ticket to the musical in the seat category of your choice. For a current schedule, prices, and an order form, see the bus company's English-language Ludwig II - Musical Line Web page.
