We chose not to get the audio guide, and found that was a bad idea. I tend to like to read about items in a museum, but there was very limited signage. Get the audio guide (it's free) to fully enjoy the Residence.

The Munich Residence is truly gorgeous inside, with beautiful ceilings and stunning architecture. The audio tour is one of the best I have done, costs no extra and is really clear and easy to use - you can listen to as much or as little as you like before moving on to the next room - it really does add...

So full of treasures, fabulous architecture - and the Cuvillies Theatre in the centre is the best thing in Munich, maybe in Bavaria.

The Residenz was beautiful. Lots of gilding and fancy plaster-work. The grotto was particularly interesting.

Very much enjoyed the tour of: The Treasury The Residence The Theatre Excellent history lesson, well presented and the audio guides very helpful for the self-directed tour. Highly recommend.
