Linderhof Palace

While not directly in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Linderhof Palace is King Ludwig II's smallest and only completed royal palace, located approximately 25 km away in a secluded alpine valley. This exquisite 'villa' is a masterpiece of Rococo architecture, inspired by Versailles. Its lavish interiors, including the Hall of Mirrors and magnificent bedrooms, and the meticulously sculpted gardens with their famous Venus Grotto and Moorish Kiosk, attract countless visitors. Regular guided tours of the palace interiors are offered throughout the year. Tickets typically cost around 10 EUR for adults. It is easily accessible by car or regional bus connections, making it an excellent half-day or full-day excursion from Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
