Things to do in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria: The Best Cultural Tours
South of Garmisch-Partenkirchen on the Austrian border lies Germany's highest mountain, Zugspitze, rising nearly 10,000 feet and offering gorgeous glacier-top skiing. The towns of Garmisch and Partenkirchen used to be separate, but were merged for the 1936 Winter Olympics. With almost 75 miles of downhill runs of all difficulty levels, Zugspitze also has 68 miles of cross-country trails, a terrain park and Germany's first superpipe. It's super cool to say you were skiing in Garmisch, so be sure to spread the word upon your return.

1. Neuschwanstein Castle and Brewery Tour from Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Neuschwanstein Castle is wrapped in mystery and beauty. The former dream of the Wittlesbach king, Ludwig II, the castle is not only gorgeous but the perfect place to explore the mystery of Ludwig's untimely demise and begin to learn the Bavarian Beer Culture. After a 'skip the line' entrance into Neuschwanstein castle the your guide will bring you to the village of Murnau where you will visit the Griesbräu brewery for your tour of the brewery given by the brewmeister himself. An obscene amount of sample beers and beer schnapps await along with your very own "Brewery Certificate." Once the brewery tour is concluded we make our way to the Murnau train station for a short train ride back into the city of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

2. Garmisch-Partenkirchen Walking Tour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Garmisch-Partenkirchen is an amazing place! This merged city sits at the heart of a historical European trade route of the Middle Ages causing an unbelievably unique and blended history. In more modern times, the influence of the Nazi party and the atmosphere of the American occupation in the late ’40s has radically impacted the attitude and culture of this valley paradise. This tour provides fantastic insight into the history, art, architecture, dining, and people of this sublime Alpine city.

4. NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE TOUR from GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN

BOOK FOR ONLY ONE PERSON! THE VIATOR TICKET WILL COVER 1-5 PEOPLE! Hello, I have been taking Tours to Neuschwanstein and the other places for 15 years, I actually lived in Oberammergau for 15 years I don´t think that there are many native speaking English Tour Guides with more experience of Oberammergau than myself, I lived there as a waiter and Bar Landlord for 15 years with 3 Passion Play Seasons. Unlike some Tour Guides I try to sort myth from legend, the Passion Play was not because Oberammergau was spared the horror of the Plague in 1633, quite the opposite, it was devastated. I hope to see you very soon! Regards, Chris Edwards LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO TAKE A BUS!
Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Free WIFI on board!, No food, but I supply chilled soft drinks and Bottled Water, not a lot of choice, but free!
Exclusions: The tickets to the Castle /entry fees are not included as I can´t know how many will take the Tour!, Meals are normally taken near the Castle to save time and make use of the time available before entering the Castle.

We were so happy that we decided to book the full day Castle Tours with Chris Edwards. He picked us up at our hotel and spent a full day showing us the area, followed by arranging tours to both Neuschwanstein and Linderhoff castles. He reserved our English speaking tour for both castles in advance, making our wait time during the busy summer season much quicker, and maximized our time. Chris’s knowledge of the area and its history provided a great introduction to not only the castles, but southern Germany and Austria. Chis was very personable, and when he learned of our interest in WWII, tailored our travel to show us some local buildings and homes that were important during that time. I highly recommend Taxi Chris Edwards Neuschwanstein Castle Tours if you are looking for personal service, flexibility to your needs, and an informative guide who has lived in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen area for over 30 years.

7. PRIVATE TOUR OF THE GAP AREA AND TYROL STARTING IN Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
THE VIATOR TICKET IS GOOD FOR 1-5 PEOPLE! This Tour is specially designed for those who don´t want to climb up or down 300 steps or get crushed at Neuschwanstein by the crowds. WE DO NOT VISIT NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE! This is a leisurely Tour with no great distances between the attractions but lots to see in a relaxed manner, no standing in queues, more time for sightseeing and photos. This Tour can be booked at short notice, but at least a day is recommended, nobody else as far as I know offers this alternative of a Tour of both LINDERHOF PALACE, OBERAMMERGAU, GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN and TYROL?
