What makes it 86% Couple-Friendly: Couples appreciate quiet halls, the themed “Love, love, love” audio tour, optional private guide, and a café break; limited evening hours and a hushed atmosphere give fewer options for a late, lively date.
Why 2-4 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: A 2-4 hour visit lets you focus on key galleries and enjoy a relaxed coffee break together.
Explore the Old Masters Gallery:
Stroll through rooms of 15th–18th century paintings by Rubens, Titian and Rembrandt.
Tip: Start in Room 10 for Italian Renaissance highlights before crowds arrive.
Download the “Unframed” Web App:
Use the free audio guide on your phone for themed tours like “Love, love, love.”
Tip: Connect to the museum Wi-Fi and download tours before entering the galleries.
Book a Private Guided Tour:
Arrange a two-hour English tour with skip-the-line entry for a personalized experience.
Tip: Reserve at least two weeks in advance via the museum’s website to secure your slot.
Visit on Sunday for €1 Entry:
Enjoy the collection at a reduced rate and with fewer tourists.
Tip: Aim for mid-afternoon to avoid the early-morning queue and take your time.
Relax at Café Klenze:
Take a break with English-style tea, scones or light sandwiches.
Tip: Order the lemon cake and share a pot of loose-leaf tea at a window table.

More than a century in the making and what started as a private collection of the Wittelsbach family, now stands as one of the best art museums in the world.

We took advantage of the Sunday ticket and for 1€ you can't beat this experience. Highly rec...

I'm delighted to see a live Dürer portrait! Overall, I was very excited about visiting. Outstanding collection with excellent explanations and audio materials. It wasn't crowded at all. I came at 10am, maybe because of that. There were tours, too. Overall, very happy and satisfied!

I was lucky to visit on a Sunday when the entrance fee was only 1 euro. Before entering, you need to store your bag, so make sure to have some coins ready. You can choose to leave your coat in a locker or at the staffed coat check — and you know, the lockers are free. There are so many artworks on display that you could easily spend more than two hours exploring if you want to appreciate them full...
