"Munich Residenz: See How Bavarian Royalty Lived The Munich Residenz was the seat of government and residence of Bavarian royalty for over 400 years. It's also home to the Treasury which showcases the jewel collections of former Bavarian rulers. A self-guided audio tour of the Residenz and Treasury is the best way to experience this former royal home located in the heart of Munich."

They close at 5pm. I had a little more than an hour. Ticket is 10€ for the Residenz only (10€ more for the Treasury to see the jewellery, which I didn’t). The staff was very kind to keep reminding me I had to walk fast to see everything. It’s true, there were rooms I wish I could spend more time at in order to admire the furniture and decor. However, with little time I had, I could only browse through many rooms. The audio guide (included in admission) was quite informative and thorough in explaining the details of the exhibits. Overall I liked it a lot. It’s well worth the time and price. Just allow maybe 2 hrs if you don’t like to rush.

Huge palace. FREEZING COLD inside in the winter. It took me forever to figure out how to enter (I think because of where Google maps directs you, I walked around the entire building until I finally found the entrance). Inside, they have an express route or long route. If you’re someone who likes to listen to every stop on the audio guide, you’ll be here a solid 4+ hours. Parts of the residence were more interesting to me than others / ex I don’t care about all the porcelain plates and china, but the actual palace rooms are cool! Very opulent. For the 10€ entry fee, I highly recommend a visit. I did not add on the tour of the treasury. It is nice that they allow photography in here.

This was a great place to visit, so many rooms to explore and so much beautiful artwork to see. If I had one complaint it is their entry system. There isn’t one fluid way to purchase your ticket, get your audio tour guide and check your bags. It is very all over the place and the entrance can feel very chaotic. But once you get past that, the rest of the museum is amazing.

A very big and beautiful palace. The visit can take a full day easily and it's well worth it. We took the combined visit and the theatre takes around 10-15min to visit but you need to go around the residence to enter. The residence and treasury museum took us 4h and we didn't listen to the full audio guide, but if you just walk inside it should be shortly.

The most opulent interior design I ever saw. Amazing details! Beautiful place! I am giving a 4 stars review because of the way they organized the locker room. Had to wait in a line to get in then wait in another line to leave my backpack (there are 3 ladies that take your backpack and give you a ticket). There are no lines organized so the queues are chaotic. They could add a self service locker room like in most places.

A very palatial building with amazing rooms. Very interesting to see the Chinese and Japanese links with sevemteenth century Germany. The walls re adorned with mnany portraits as well as carpet like depictions of every day life in Germany. It really took us at least 90 minutes to really savour the ambience of the place! My only grouse is that the box office to purchase the tickets was actually quite difficult to locate during the Christmas Holidays!

The Munich Residence is a must-visit for anyone interested in history and art. The palace is stunning, with beautifully decorated rooms, elegant halls, and impressive collections of artwork and treasures. Each room has its own unique charm, and the detailed architecture is breathtaking. The Residenz also offers insights into Bavarian royalty and history. It’s a great place to spend a few hours exploring. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Munich!

One of the old palaces from the ruling monarch and family of Bavaria. Huge palace and it’s nice they give you opportunities to do a short tour, medium tour, long tour, or a longer tour. Also the audio guide was included with the ticket so that was nice to guide us through what to see. Overall well marked areas, interesting content and would recommend for visitors to see.
