| Marienplatz | About 10 minutes' walk |
| Hofgarten | Directly alongside the Residenz |
Starting from Odeonsplatz
Odeonsplatz, served by the U3, U4, U5 and U6 lines, sits a few minutes from the Residenz and makes a natural starting point for the evening.
The Hofgarten, next door
The Residenz's formal garden, the Hofgarten, runs alongside the palace complex and is a quiet place for a walk before an evening concert.
Marienplatz and the old town
Munich's central square, Marienplatz, is about ten minutes on foot, with the old town's restaurants and cafés spread between it and the Residenz.
Dinner before the curtain
Give yourself time for dinner in the old town before heading to the concert, rather than rushing a meal right beforehand.
A late-evening finish
With the concert running close to two hours, an evening built around it typically wraps up mid-to-late evening, well placed for a last walk through the old town or a direct route back to your hotel.
Combining it with daytime plans
Visitors often pair the gala concert with other plans in Munich earlier in the day. This ticket covers only the evening concert; daytime visits to the Residenz are a separate booking.
