This is such an unnecessarily negative review. For antisocial people who just can’t find anything pleasant in beautiful scenery, rich architecture, or the fresh air - please don’t impose your inability to enjoy life on others. I visited the castle in late December and quite enjoyed it. Have your hotel (if you’re staying in town) book you a tour - the main tours are all audio guided and run very frequently (every 15-25 min). I’m not sure why you had to wait 3 hours for an English tour, sounds like someone tried to take advantage of you and with your lack of planning....well... the path to the bridge was closed due to snow when I visited and I was very disappointed in that, but many of us were able to find an alternative path to make it onto Marienbrucke bridge to get the stunning view of the castle. Furthermore, inside the castle is quite beautiful. Anything “unfinished” is due to the king’s untimely death and is really not apparent if your tour guide didn’t tell you. It’s wonderfully extravagant and has rich elements/inspirations from all around the world (Buddhist pictorials on the mosaic tile floor, Turkish style arches and designs on the ceilings, Roman and typical medieval feel throughout the castle).

Next time you write just a generically negative remark (any tourist location will have all the things you mentioned - pictures, selfie sticks, crying babies, lines), offer some specific alternatives that DIDNT have all of those negative points. No need to senselessly hate.
