We visited in winter, a lot of the statues and fountains were covered but it was still stunning. I imagine that in a few months the gardens and parklands would be wonderful. It is well worth a visit.

This is a great and informative place full of Wagner memorabilia and the history of the time he lived. Split in two parts, one in his home Haus Wahnfried and one adjacent in the newly built museum. You also get to see historic stage sets and costumes from a variety of operas. Overall a very good exhibition. There is a nice coffee shop with an outside terrace.
