The Residenz was probably my favorite "museum" type tour during my visit to Munich. The entire place is packed with interesting relics from the last 400 years worth of German royalty. The building is magnificent considering portions of it had to be restored after WWII. I didn't use the audio guide for the tour, but the beauty was ...

Residenz Munich Bayern
By Nguyễn Hữu Tiệp, 06/28/06
For centuries, the Residenz was the political & cultural centre of royalty, as well as the former residence of Bavarian Kings. Various rulers furnished & extended the rooms to suit their personal tastes. This was also where rulers kept their art collections & treasures. The collections were opened to the public in 1920. Worth the visit ...

This immense and spectacular palace is a must see for those that visit Munich. The gardens, the interior, the royal art gallery....everything is beyond what you would expect from a formerly active palace. Bring your camera for the outside. There is a lot of eye candy here.
You can never run out of things to do in Munich, but this is the must see of this city.

What a wonderful experience it is.
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 08/31/05
The Residenz is full of architecture and art displayed in plenty of historic ways. I never knew that the Residenz was home to Bishops. I loved how the huge stairs lead to several intriguing rooms that portray artists pieces of work. The ceiling about of the stairs conveyed meaning of beliefs and creative thoughts that were taken in during the old ...

Amazing !!!
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 08/02/05
The Residenz is a stunning place to go to. The restoration work is amazing. This place is much better than the Nymphenburg palace. Dont be put off by the museum guards watching you. They wont have a problem with you unless you touch something you are not supposed to.
Great for a rainy day. Use the audio (free) tour or the Museum won't make much sense.

exterior belies the interior
By Gregg Hansbury, 05/25/05
the Residenz blends in so well with the fabric of the inner city that the luxurious interior and fascinating displays will shock you. I lived in Munich for 18 months and I don't think one person recommended it to me. Despite its central location, it's definitely a hidden treasure.

What restoration work!
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 04/29/05
The restoration work is simply amazing. We saw some of the pictures of the way things looked after the bombing after our initial tour of the palace. We had not realized that there had been so much damage. The restoration is quite seamless. What a loss all that beauty would have been. The 'Hall of Antiquities' was my favorite and not to be missed.
