Hotels near Munich Residenz

The largest city palace in Germany, the Munich Residenz served as the official residence of the Wittelsbach monarchs for four centuries and today houses one of Europe's most impressive palace museums, spread across 130 magnificently decorated rooms. Highlights include the dazzling Antiquarium (the largest Renaissance hall north of the Alps), the Ancestral Gallery, and collections of porcelain, silver, and Bavarian royal regalia. Admission EUR 9. The adjoining Cuvillies Theatre (enter via the Brunnenhof courtyard) - Germany's finest Rococo theatre - is another extraordinary highlight.

Pro Tip: Buy the combined ticket (EUR 17) covering the Residenz Museum, Treasury, and Cuvillies Theatre. Budget at least 2-3 hours - the 130 rooms are overwhelming if rushed.
