  festival grounds. Explore on your own to experience the attractions you might have missed the first day, or revisit your favorites. A return transfer will bring you back to the hotel at the end of the day. (note: only 1 transfer is included per direction, so the group must travel together)

• Thursday Oct 2nd - (Neuschwanstein) - Today your local guide will accompany you to the region south of Munich called Upper Bavaria. You will see beautiful landscapes, mountains and lakes. The first highlight will be the famous Neuschwanstein castle. From 1869 - 1886 king Ludwig II had built the Neuschwanstein castle "in the authentic style of the old German knights". The socially aloof king commissioned the building of the castle as a retreat from the public eye.  Ironically, after his death, the castle became the most visited place in Europe. The setting of Neuschwanstein could not be more idyllic. During a guided visit, you will see the king's residential and representative rooms that are located on the third and fourth floors of the palace. The rooms on the second floor remained in the shell and today house functional rooms of the museum.  Next, you will visit Ettal Monastery a big Benedictine Abbey and Baroque Church with Dome Fresco. After the visit of the Abbey you will enjoy a guided tour of the brewery and distillery. The brewery is one of the few remaining genuine monastery breweries owned by monks. The distillery is famous for its Ettaler Klosterliqueur, which owes its origin to the monastic medicine of the Middle Ages. After the guided tour, you can browse in the monastery store and buy products for home. Return to your hotel in Munich at the end of the tour.

• Friday Oct 3rd - Fly back to your destination from Munich airport : Standard Private Car transportation to the Munich airport from the Platzl Hotel.

By paying the planning fee and/or deposit, I have read and accept the Terms & Conditions The Braxton Agency, LLC terms & conditions on behalf of myself and anyone in my party.

Deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE.  If your plans change, your right to a refund is limited and subject to each specific Vendors cancellation policy.   You must submit in writing to cancel your reservation.  Allow a minimum of 30 Business days for processing for refunds if it is determined that any are due to you and they will be returned to the payment method used at the time of the booking.  To avoid cancellation penalties, you should consider purchasing one of the optional travel protection plans. Refund method is determined by the travel protection policy.  It may be by a future travel credit or funds dispersed back onto your credit card.  Without travel protection, if you must cancel your reservation, make any changes to departure date, or reduce the number in the party, you will be assessed a $50 per person cancellation penalty plus any applicable airline, hotel or other supplier charges. Hotel cancellation polices are established by the hotel. Please note that there are no refunds for cancellations made 7 days or less prior to departure for air-inclusive vacations or less than 48 hours prior to departure for hotel only vacations. Most air carriers consider a name change to be a cancellation; to avoid penalties for name changes, full and complete names are required at time of booking.  It is NOT the responsibility of The Braxton Agency to discuss with your roommate their options if one party cancels.  Each roommate is ultimately responsible for the entire cost of the reservation.
