“The Antiquarium stopped us in our tracks — photos don't prepare you for it. The ticket was in our inbox within the hour and we walked straight past the queue.”
Copenhagen, DK
“We nearly bought the museum-only ticket and would have missed the crown jewels. Clear advice from the team meant we got the right combination.”

About Munich Residenz (Residenz München)
The Munich Residenz is the former royal palace of the Wittelsbachs — the dukes, prince-electors and kings who ruled Bavaria for centuries — right in the heart of Munich. Grown over some 450 years from a small moated castle begun in 1385 into a sprawling complex of courtyards, wings and halls, it is one of the largest and most important city palaces in Europe, and today one of the continent's great palace museums.
The showpiece is the Antiquarium: a 66-metre barrel-vaulted Renaissance hall, frescoed from end to end and lined with antique busts, built in the sixteenth century for the dukes' collection of antiquities. It is the largest Renaissance interior north of the Alps, and stepping into its low, luminous vault is the moment most visitors remember. Beyond it the museum unfolds through the Ancestral Gallery and some 130 state rooms and royal apartments.
Alongside the museum, the Residenz holds two further attractions: the Treasury (Schatzkammer), one of Europe's foremost collections of crowns, regalia and goldsmith work spanning a thousand years; and the Cuvilliés Theatre, a jewel-box rococo court theatre of red and gold. You choose how much to see — the museum alone, the museum with the Treasury, or all three. Almost everything you see was rebuilt from the ground up after the palace was heavily bombed in the Second World War.
We are a concierge service: you choose your visit date and tier, we arrange and secure your admission, and a print-at-home ticket arrives in your inbox — ready to show so you skip the queue at the cash desk. No wrestling with an unfamiliar booking site; just your ticket, in English, in your email.

Frequently asked
What does each ticket tier include?
The Residence Museum ticket covers the ~130-room museum, the Antiquarium and royal apartments. Museum + Treasury adds the Schatzkammer of crowns and regalia. The top tier adds the Cuvilliés Theatre — the complete Residenz. Choose by how much you want to see.
Which ticket has the Treasury and the theatre?
The Treasury is included from the Museum + Treasury tier upward. The Cuvilliés Theatre is only in the top, all-inclusive tier. The museum-only ticket covers neither, so pick your tier by what you want to see before you book.
Is entry at a fixed time?
No — your ticket is valid for the whole day you choose, within opening hours, so you arrive when you like. It is not a fixed slot. Your print-at-home ticket lets you skip the cash-desk queue, which is the real time-saver in high season.
Is the museum guided?
The Residence Museum is self-guided at your own pace, with an audio guide included. That's why visit times vary — some move through in 90 minutes, others linger far longer. Allow extra time if you've added the Treasury or the theatre.
Do children pay, and who gets reduced entry?
Children and young people under 18 enter free — it's a free admission at the door, not a ticket you buy, so families only pay for adults. Reduced rates apply to eligible visitors such as EU seniors and disabled guests, with original valid proof shown on site.
Does the Cuvilliés Theatre keep the same hours?
Often not — the theatre frequently has shorter or different hours than the museum and can close on some holidays or when in use. If you book the top tier, check the theatre's hours for your date so you don't arrive to a closed door.
How and when will I get my ticket?
After you book, our team arranges your dated admission and emails your print-at-home ticket, usually well before your visit. You show it at the entrance on your chosen day. If we ever can't secure your date, we contact you and refund in full.
How long should I allow?
Around 1.5–2 hours for the museum, plus ~45 minutes for the Treasury and ~20–30 minutes for the theatre. Seeing everything is a comfortable half-day. Arrive well before last admission, especially with a combined ticket.
