I definitely think it’s a must-see location. Sure, it’s a bit of a tourist trap. But if you spend an afternoon touring the castle and its grounds, then the rest of the day driving around the region, you won’t be disappointed. It’s such a gorgeous area.
Füssen itself is a beautiful region. My wife and I usually stay in a small local hotel in town there. We’ve also stayed in a hostel in Munich while visiting Neuschwanstein Castle. They provided a free walking tour of the capital city in the mornings. We spent about 3 hours just walking around Munich, being shown its grand and tragic history. The historical landmarks around town are extremely subtle. We would’ve completely missed them without a tour guide.
We also toured the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site just outside of Munich. Definitely important to check out if you’re into history.
