Enter the Residenz as it opens. The building is a former royal palace with distinct areas like the Treasury and the Museum. The Antiquarium features a barrel-vaulted banqueting hall, while the Treasury holds royal crowns and sceptres. Allow time to explore the architecture and history.

Walk northeast through the Hofgarten. This court garden sits between the Residenz and the Englischer Garten. It is a quiet green space perfect for a morning stroll away from the city bustle.

Visit the Dianatempel. This twelve-sided Renaissance gazebo stands at the crossing point of the garden paths. It features eight open and four closed round arcades, offering a quiet spot to rest and admire the view.

Head to Wildmosers for lunch. This restaurant claims to be the birthplace of Munich Weißwurst. The staff are friendly and the beer selection, especially Weißbier, is extensive. Come hungry as the portions are substantial.
