Used as the official residence of Bavarian rulers from 1385 to 1918, the Munich Residence is the largest royal palace in Germany, but above all it is a must-see if you are in the city. There are various types of tickets depending on what you want to visit or a part or the whole building. If you have time and possibility Recommendation without any doubt the cumulative ticket that costs 20 Euro and includes everything: the Treasury Chamber, all the rooms of the palace (including the Antiquarium room that alone is worth the ticket) and the wonderful Teatro Cuvilliés. Keep in mind that with this ticket your visit will last at least three hours, consider a morning or an afternoon. We did not take the audio guide which has an extra cost, but we preferred to walk independently. A couple of other tips that were valuable to me: if you can go during the week and at the opening (at 9) or shortly after. On the weekend you will definitely find more crowds. On Monday morning at about 10 we enjoyed a visit with the rooms and the Antiquarium room empty or almost empty. Finally wear comfortable shoes because you will walk a lot. It 'a wonderful palace, to visit to be amazed and lose yourself in the beauty of a past lavish, almost fairytale.

You can literally spend the whole day here which we sort of did, you do get a little carried away. Would definitely buy the triple combo ticket. The price is very good and worth doing. The majority of the time is spent in the museum itself and wondering through all the rooms, would allow at least 2-3 hours, there is a free and separate audio guide for this and the treasury only (nothing for the theatre). You definitely want the audio guide, it is free and gives good information to make your visit more interesting, especially for the treasury. A tip is to pick and choose which bits you listen to, if you listen to everything you will never leave, there is hours of information on it. The museum and the treasury are accessed opposite ends of the building but within the same area, the theatre you have to go outside and a short 5 minute walk. There are no cafes inside (there are WC and not many places to sit down, no elevators and some stairs to the different levels), so if you want a coffee or something to eat you have to exit and go outside the premises but you have to finish the museum first 9or the treasury) as they will not allow re entry to these parts once you exit. You are allowed to take 0.5l plastic bottle of water in with you only. You are not allowed any size of back pack whatsoever and they have to be checked in but this is free of charge. Allow a good hour for the treasury, some beautiful things to be seen here and maybe 20 minutes in the theatre. There were no queues to pay when we were there midweek, early July and such a huge place that any crowds disperse and you can easily take some nice photos (without flash).

On holiday in Munich you can not miss visiting this magnificent residence. The ticket combined with a visit to the treasure and jewels of the Princes of Bavaria located in a wing adjacent to the residence. There is audio guide service provided at the entrance also in Italian. Minors don't pay. The residence boasts many rooms all very beautiful with furniture, upholstery, lavish paintings of the time. Visit recommended take into account that it takes at least two hours.

I have visited numerous royal and noble palaces around Europe, and this, from the experiences I have had, is one of the most beautiful. Located in the heart of Munich, the Residenz is immense, and requires, for an exhaustive visit, an entire morning or an entire afternoon. The integrated ticket that I made, after some queue, at the ticket office, costs 20 € and allows you to visit the treasury, the palace and the court theater, while access to the gardens is free. It starts from the treasure chamber, which houses masterpieces of goldsmith's art, among which the magnificent reliquary of San Giorgio stands out. Then we move on to the palace itself, with dozens of rooms, each described in detail by the audio guide; the number of rooms is so high, and the descriptions so detailed, that in my opinion it is necessary to make a selection and activate the audio guide only in the most significant rooms, otherwise the path becomes a little dispersive. The most spectacular is the Renaissance Antiquarium, beautifully frescoed. The visit ends with the eighteenth-century court theater, still used to perform operas. In conclusion, this is an Attraction not to be missed when visiting Munich. I only Recommendation to dedicate, as I said, at least half a day, or to consider whether to make a ticket valid for two days, so as to visit it more calmly.

We were in the fountain courtyard at the Solimans Dream light show. This was very nice and is worth seeing. Please dress warmly, there are seating and standing areas. The show begins at the full hour (17/18/19/20/21). Duration approx. 25 minutes. Admission about 30 minutes before the start. Ticket can be purchased conveniently online. Prices approx. 17-25 Euro (discounts see online). Before that we strolled through the courtyards, as we arrived too early. The 10 courtyards (fountain courtyard, imperial courtyard, pharmacist courtyard, grotto courtyard, chapel courtyard, powder courtyard, kitchen courtyard, royal courtyard, committee courtyard, cabinet garden) are a characteristic of the residence. Most of them were built in the course of the continuous structural expansions during the connection of the new wings. Fountain and imperial courtyards in particular were of great importance as distribution, reception and access zones to the residence as well as venues for courtly festivals and ceremonies. From 1508 to 1918, the Munich residence was the residence and government seat of the Bavarian dukes, electors and kings. Today, there are many museums and exhibitions worth seeing in the residence. The courtyards are now often used for cultural events, which may be closed. Good footwear is advisable because of the cobblestones. Very nice grounds and the courtyards are free, the museums are not.

The Residenz München Museum is a real jewel! This magnificent palace offers an impressive visit with breathtaking architecture. The place is huge and there is a lot to see, easily plan 3 to 4 hours to enjoy the experience. It is a must during a stay in Munich. In addition, it is possible to take an audio guide to enrich the visit and better understand the history of the place. We had the chance to attend several concerts with small orchestras playing in several rooms of the palace, and we even met people in period costumes, which added an extra touch to immerse ourselves in the historic atmosphere of the place. A must for lovers of heritage and architecture!

First things first. To do these properly you need a lot of time; at least 3 hours. We started in the Residenz and the good news was that the audio guides were free. And all the information on the audio guides was very informative, possibly too much as after a while you started wondering how long you would be there. There are a lot of places where you can choose to take a short cut or go the long haul. We did the later but then started worrying we’d miss the treasury so skipped some places. There were a few free toilet stops which were welcome, but a word of warning…..no toilets at all in the treasury part. The treasury bit was a lot less shorter. Can be done in 45 minutes if you just listen to the main bit on each room (10 rooms) but it did say it could take 5 hours I assume if you listen to the descriptions of every bit of jewellery. The combined ticket cost 15 euros which was great value especially as the audio guide was free.

A portentous palace in terms of size and pieces to see. Some rooms are spectacular because of precisely how large they are and their decoration. We were able to make the visit very quiet because we went early, however when leaving around twelve-thirty the queue to enter was very long. I find it a highly recommended visit in Munich.

We visited this massive museum/residence and really enjoyed all the relics and tapestries, ornate rooms and halls. Staff were available to assist and as a visitor there were sort and long tours. We opted for the long tour and glad we didn't miss anything. It's a short walk from Marienplatz and go early ! When we were leaving there was a huge line. You can also request handicap assistance yo access each area. The church and chapel areas are really standouts and concerts are held in the chapel area. BRing a coat or sweater depending on the weather, very chilly inside. Definitely a worthwhile visit surrounded by opulence and royalty!!

The Residenz in Munich is enormous. You can buy tickets for the Palace alone or combine it with the museum of the belongings of the Bavarian Royal family or the Baroque theatre on the site. We chose to visit the Palace and the theatre. The Palace tour consists of 103 rooms some of which are spectacular - then you have the state rooms belonging to the King, The Queen, the Prince etc. There is a long way to walk and you will be tired when you finish!
