Germany / Destination guide

Munich.

Royal rooms. Room to wander.

Start Munich with the Residence Museum, then leave space for city squares and a relaxed meal. Choose a guided palace visit or a museum-and-concert day, with time to enjoy the details.

Munich Residence

Museum allowance

2–3 hours, plus arrival time

Plan the sequence

Munich in one or two days

Give your palace visit a clear place in the day and keep the rest flexible.

First stop

Choose your Residence visit

Compare the guided museum tour and museum-and-concert option. Check which parts of the complex your ticket actually includes.

Plan Munich Residence tickets

After the museum

Leave time for the centre

Keep a walk and a meal unreserved so a longer museum visit does not put the rest of your day under pressure.

Winter plan

Work with shorter hours

Check the palace’s winter timetable and holiday closures first. Use the brighter weather window for outdoor time, and confirm a separate start time if you book a concert.
