Castle · Munich, Germany

The Residenz

The Wittelsbach city palace: ten courtyards, 130 rooms open, and a treasury holding crowns from the tenth century onward.

The Residenz is in Munich, and this is Munich — the atlas draws Europe in one projection whose finest unit is about four kilometres, so it maps the town rather than the street. The frame is about 590 km across and 210 km deep at this latitude. Coastline from Natural Earth, public domain. The full map →

Accessibility

Not documented. EuropeDoor holds no step-free access, hearing loop or accessible toilet information for any place, and inventing it would be worse than the gap — the position in full.

Getting there

ICE trains link the big cities fast, and the Deutschlandticket gives a month of unlimited regional transport nationwide for a flat fee — the best transport deal in Europe. All of Germany →

Those are the three fields that go stale fastest and the three you are most damaged by being wrong about, so this site does not carry them at all rather than carrying an unverified version. Check the operator or the municipality on the day. The estimate of how long to give it, and the season, are editorial judgements and are usually stable.

Englischer Garten

Larger than Central Park, with a standing wave on the Eisbach where surfers queue in wetsuits all year, and beer gardens under chestnut trees at the far end.
