Not sure which ticket to choose?
Independent visitors should book via the official portal to secure the €10 base rate and free entry for minors, though these tickets only skip the purchase queue, not security. For a more immersive experience, choose a guided partner tour to navigate the 130+ rooms with expert commentary, or opt for the Residence Serenade bundle to combine your visit with a classical concert in the royal chapel.
Travelers looking for a complete cultural evening in a royal setting.
Combines museum admission with a classical concert in the Hofkapelle, with the museum ticket valid for several days around the event.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: The main entrance for the Residenz Museum and Treasury is at Residenzstraße 1, while the Cuvilliés Theatre is accessed via the Fountain Court (Brunnenhof). All visitors must pass security and deposit large bags in lockers. Note that last entry to all areas is strictly 1 hour before closing time. To avoid crowds in the 130+ rooms, aim for a morning slot and head to the Antiquarium first, as this iconic hall becomes a bottleneck once group tours arrive.
- Price: Official admission to the Munich Residence (Residenz Museum) or the Treasury is €10 each, with a combined ticket for both at €15 and a triple-access pass including the Cuvilliés Theatre at €20; visitors under 18 enter for free. Partner prices ranging from €38 to €55 reflect the addition of professional guided tours or evening 'Residence Serenade' concerts. When booking through third parties, verify whether the Treasury and Theatre are included and ensure the ticket is for the central Residenz rather than Nymphenburg Palace, which is a separate attraction located further from the city center.
- Discounts: Children and youth under 18 receive free admission to the Residence Museum, Treasury, and Cuvilliés Theatre. These free tickets can be added to your online order via the official portal to skip the on-site cash desk queue; otherwise, they must be collected at the counter with proof of age. Reduced-rate tickets are available for students and seniors 65+. For third-party offerings like 'Residence Serenade' concerts, standard free-entry rules usually do not apply and a paid ticket is required for all ages.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket or can I use a mobile voucher?
Most digital tickets from GetYourGuide and Tiqets are accepted on mobile devices, but specific events like the 'Residence Serenade' concert or certain guided tours may require you to meet a host to exchange your voucher for a physical entry pass.
What is the difference between the Museum, Treasury, and Cuvilliés Theatre tickets?
The Residenz Museum covers the royal apartments and Antiquarium, the Treasury (Schatzkammer) houses the crown jewels, and the Cuvilliés Theatre is a separate rococo opera house; you can buy individual tickets or a 'Combination Ticket' for all three.
Does a 'skip-the-line' ticket bypass the security queue?
No, 'skip-the-line' only allows you to bypass the ticket office window; all visitors must still wait for mandatory security checks and the compulsory cloakroom drop-off for bags and umbrellas.
How do children and students access free or reduced admission?
Visitors under 18 enter the Museum and Treasury for free; these zero-cost tickets can be booked in advance via the official online shop to avoid the on-site ticket counter. Students with valid ID can purchase reduced-price tickets, though these are typically only available at the venue or the official portal.
Are audio guides included in the ticket price?
Yes, official entry tickets for the Residenz Museum and Treasury include a free audio guide available in several languages (including English, German, French, and Spanish), which can be collected after the entrance scanners.
What are the rules for bags and photography?
Bags larger than 35 x 30 x 12 cm, backpacks, and umbrellas must be stored in the free lockers (requires a €1 or €2 coin deposit); photography is permitted for private use only and without flash, tripods, or selfie sticks.
What happens if I arrive late for a timed guided tour?
Guided tours have strict departure times from specific meeting points; late arrival typically results in being unable to join the group. For standard entry, note that the last admission is strictly 1 hour before the palace closes.
