With the reopening of the Venus Grotto, the number of visitors to Linderhof has increased significantly. Please therefore expect longer waiting times at the car park and ticket offices, especially during the holidays, on public holidays and at weekends.
Please note that you have to cover several metres in altitude on steep paths (up to 20% gradient) between the objects in the castle park. The Venus Grotto, for example, is 50 metres above the palace. Depending on your physical condition, this can be very strenuous, especially on hot days.
Unfortunately, the Moorish Kiosk in the palace park will have to remain closed for an extended period of time from 28 July 2025 due to extensive renovation work.
Please note that for organisational reasons, the "Palace + Venus Grotto" combination ticket and the "Venus Grotto" ticket are only sold at the ticket office on site. The "Linderhof Palace" ticket is also available in the online ticket shop.
Here you will find a plan of the Linderhof grounds.
Taking pictures or filming is unfortunately not allowed in the palace, in the Venus Grotto, in the Royal Lodge and in the King's House on Schachen.
Photo and film shoots are basically subject to approval and charges. Here you will find information on photography permits / film permits. Taking pictures of the outside of the buildings for private use does not require a permit.
The Linderhof Palace complex is part of the Ammergebirge Nature Reserve: the flying of model planes and drones / multicopters is therefore prohibited.
We also provide you with image and film material that you may use free of charge on your own website under certain conditions; click here to download image material or download footage.
Free Wi-Fi is available from Linderhof Palace to the Water Parterre to the Terrace Gardens, in front of the Venus Grotto and in the ticket office area.
Bulky items may not be taken into the palace. Lockers are available opposite the Schlosshotel for large bags, rucksacks, photo equipment etc. A number of lockers for smaller items you can find near the toilets at the palace.
Prams and child carriers can be left at the palace entrance.
No liability can be accepted for items deposited in lockers or at the entrance.
Dogs may only be taken into the palace if they are carried. We cannot offer supervision for animals brought along. Please keep dogs on an lead in the park.
