The Schleissheim Palaces
Three palaces and a Baroque garden beside the airfield
The Old Palace, the New Palace and Lustheim Palace stand just north of the museum. The Bavarian Palace Administration runs them, and they need their own ticket, which you buy at the palace.
From April to September the palaces open from 9:00 to 18:00. From October to March they open from 10:00 to 16:00, and they stay closed on Mondays all year.
The Baroque Court Garden between the palaces is free and opens at 8:00, which makes it an easy stop before or after the museum.
