Forget the overpriced $650 private tours; you cannot actually enter the castle because the Prince lives here full-time. The twenty-minute uphill hike from the city center is your only path to those Rhine Valley views. Time your visit for golden hour when the landscape pops, but keep it brief. Budget forty-five minutes to snap photos of the main gate and hike back down. It is strictly a look-but-don't-touch situation, so keep expectations low.
