Step by Step
The Munich Residenz Museum is not just a palace, but a real time capsule reflecting the luxury, culture and power of the former Bavarian monarchy. With this ticket, you will skip the lines and start your tour directly with a professional guide who will lead you through the highlights of the halls.
You will explore rooms decorated with marble, frescoes, tapestries and original furnishings, such as the Throne Room, the Chamber of Mirrors and the Gallery of Ancestors. You will be amazed by the beauty of the royal treasury, a collection of jewels, crowns, ceremonial swords and reliquaries that rivals those of other European royal houses.
Your guide will provide fascinating background on the Wittelsbachs, one of Germany's most influential royal families, explaining how the palace's design and objects reflect the cultural, political and artistic changes from the Renaissance to the 19th century.
During the tour you will also discover hidden inner courtyards, architectural details in baroque, rococo and neoclassical styles, and the secrets behind one of the largest palace museums in Europe. This tour is a must for lovers of art, history and architecture.
