Additional Information

Visit the Residence of Munich with local artists. The former seat of the royal family, Wittelsbach. For many centuries, this was the place of so much history from Bavaria. Once completely destroyed, we show you the reconstructed work. Understand the different courtyards and have an overview of the last generations in this object. I make more of your visit, showing you the most important spots from this 40,000 square meters construction.

The history you will enjoy, and the side-stories that make your visit the proper complement for your visit to Munich.

Over 136 rooms present the heritage of this state and let you understand those who lived here. The love affairs, the incomparable creativity of King Ludwig II, or the relationship with Napoleon are some of the chapters you’ll hear with us.

We offer a short tour of two hours inside the Residence or the extended version with a complementary visit outside the residence and the Cuvellier Theater.

Residenz Tour - Paul was amazing-so informative and knowledgeable. We were late for our tour due to getting lost but he was very flexible and accommodating. It was a wonderful experience-we highly recommend Paul as a tour guide. He was so kind and fun. Thank you Paul-you’re the best!

See Munich with an amazing duo! - This well deserved review is way over due…if you would like to see Munich with vibrant, fun and informative company, Paul Riedel is your man! With Mr John of course. We have a couple of hrs to spend on a layover and he definitely worked with us to see what there is to see in the city. As an avid traveller, you always pray for a tour guide that would make you feel welcome in a foreign country to ease your travel blues. Paul & John defintely delivered and much more. An excellent way to get to know Munich, highly recommended!
