In Munich and needing re-confirmation of times when sites open - please and thankyou

Posted by (fargo) on

Hi Rick Steves readers,

In Munich beginning tomorrow, Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday. Trying to plan as best as possible in an efficient way.

I have searched on the internet and looked in different guidebooks and websites. However, I am finding conflicting info, and wondering if someone knows or has recently been to the following places. I am reaching out because I seek some confirmation. With only 2 days, we want to plan correctly.

Marienplatz - Glockenspiel - When does the show occur? Every hour?
I read that 11am and 9pm are supposedly better shows for some reason? True?

Viktualienmarkt - Hours?

I read 10-1pm on Saturday, Closed Sunday, but the hours on Saturday vary on different sites

Assam Church - Monday -Saturday 9-6. Closed Sunday? Can a church be closed on Sunday?

Residenz - Daily 9-6pm with Bronze Hall, Imperial Hall, and Stone Rooms closed for renovation.

Alte Pinakothek - 10-5 Tues through Sunday

1 Euro on Saturday for Admission

Thank you for your help to help me finalize our plans.

Marienplatz - Glockenspiel - When does the show occur? Every hour? - No. Two or three times during the day. 11am and noon for sure (or used to be). Don't know about 9pm.

Viktualienmarkt - Hours? - Not Sundays, on Saturdays vendors may close any time after 1pm, some may stay open until 6.

Assam Church - Monday -Saturday 9-6. Closed Sunday? Can a church be closed on Sunday? - Don't know about this one, can't see how it would not be open unless for mass only. For me, the Theatine Church is the one to aim for.

Residenz - Daily 9-6pm with Bronze Hall, Imperial Hall, and Stone Rooms closed for renovation. - Correct.

Alte Pinakothek - 10-5 Tues through Sunday - 10-6. 1 Euro on sunday.

Nymphenburg, palace and gardens open Sunday.

Dear Gundersen,
Thank you so much for your quick reply. I appreciate you taking the time to give your comments and help with the times.
It is hard when different books and the internet can give different information.
Thanks again.
