THE RESIDENCE OF THE BAVARIAN KINGS IN MUNICH

This was the Munich home of the Bavarian royals for hundreds of years.  From the outside it looks a rather sober building, but

the true magic is inside.  Each King left his mark on the Residence, added wings and courtyards to the building.  Don’t miss the amazing ‘Antiquarium’ – a long hall with statues on every surface and beautifully painted ceilings.  Some of the

rooms were destroyed in the Second World War and have been restored, but there are still plenty of original rooms and features to see. You can also see the Monarch’s jewels in the Treasury (separate fee).  If you do take the tour, make sure you pick up

your free audio guide.  The guide station is easy to miss and we got to the second room before we realised everyone else had one!

The Munich Residence is in the city centre near Odeonplatz.
