Munich

The municipal Christkindlmarkt is free to enter. Food and shopping cost extra; the Residence and other museums require their own tickets. Tollwood is a separate location outside this central route.

Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Residence Museum at Residenzstraße 1 offers indoor rooms and collections in the Bavarian rulers’ palace. Tickets are available at the desk or official shop; museum, Treasury and Cuvilliés Theatre have distinct admission options.
