Green Vault and Royal Palace

Germany

Dresden's Royal Palace was the residence of the Saxon kings and was totally destroyed during WWII. The painstaking work to reconstruct the Renaissance building is still occurring, but it currently houses the Historic Green Vault and the New Green Vault, both holding jewels and treasures.

Residenz, Museum and Treasury

Germany

The Residenz, set on Max-Joseph-Platz, is the winter palace of the Wittelsbach royal family and is full of gilded elegance. It's Munich's best interior palace to tour (Nymphenburg has the best exterior and gardens) and has a museum where you can see beautiful staterooms, an impressive treasury, and a Cuvillies Theatre.
