What camera settings would capture this best?

[robb01]

In a few months, my wife and I are taking a trip to Munich. The highlight of the trip is going to be a daytrip to Neuschwanstein castle. I really want to capture a great picture of the castle and make a print for our home. What would be the best camera settings to capture it? There is a small bridge I think about 1/4 mile from the castle, where shots like these are taken:

I usually like to shoot in "A" priority mode, would that mode w/ a high f stop be a good setting?

When you walk from the bus you go over the bridge, but the castle is not that impresive close up i was dissapointed crazy busy with tourists, make sure you go to The Eagles Nest ( Given to Hitler by the Nazi party) the veiws are fantastic

That will depend on the light available the day and time you make the photo.

The photo you posted has a blue cast to it, likely a white balance setting issue.

Did you take the tour of the inside? I think were going to skip that part.

Unfortuneatly we only have 3 days in Munich, and won't have time to see the Eagles Nest. Were doing 1 day of exploring Munich, day trip to the castle, and then another half day trip to Dachau and a beer tour that night

No we didn't because it was a bit of a let down after the walk there, if you don't take the tour you only get to go in a small courtyard and thats it not very good for photos because of the amont of visitors mostly Japanese, you could spend the whole 3 days in Munich and it still would not be enough, we went by motorbike so got to tour all the mountains
