Neuschwanstein empfängt 1,3 Millionen Besucher pro Jahr und ist damit eines der beliebtesten Reiseziele Europas.

Reiseführer Lonely Planet (https://www.lonelyplanet.com/germany/fussen/attractions/schloss-neuschwanstein/a/poi-sig/1209300/359356) beschreibt das Schloss:
Das Schloss Neuschwanstein, das wie eine Fata Morgana durch die Berggipfel gleitet, war das Vorbild für Disneys Dornröschenschloss. König Ludwig II. Plante diesen Märchenhaufen selbst mit Hilfe eines Bühnenbildners und nicht eines Architekten. Er sah es als eine riesige Bühne, um die Welt der germanischen Mythologie, inspiriert von den Opernwerken seines Freundes Richard Wagner, neu zu erschaffen. Der eindrucksvollste Raum ist der Sängersaal, dessen Fresken Szenen aus der Oper Tannhäuser darstellen.

Travel guide Lonely Planet (https://www.lonelyplanet.com/germany/fussen/attractions/schloss-neuschwanstein/a/poi-sig/1209300/359356) describes the castle:
Appearing through the mountaintops like a mirage, Schloss Neuschwanstein was the model for Disney’s Sleeping Beauty castle. King Ludwig II planned this fairy-tale pile himself, with the help of a stage designer rather than an architect. He envisioned it as a giant stage on which to recreate the world of Germanic mythology, inspired by the operatic works of his friend Richard Wagner. The most impressive room is the Sängersaal (Minstrels’ Hall), whose frescos depict scenes from the opera Tannhäuser.
