ArchitectureArtHistoryClosed · Opens 9amFrom €20Schloss Nymphenburg (Tram 17)

Nymphenburg Palace was begun in 1664 as a summer residence for the Bavarian electors and grew over generations into one of Europe's largest palace complexes, its facade stretching wider than Versailles. Highlights include the frescoed Stone Hall, King Ludwig I's Gallery of Beauties, and the Marstallmuseum's royal coach collection with an upstairs porcelain museum. The vast park, laid out by Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell, hides four rococo pavilions — Amalienburg, Badenburg, Pagodenburg and the Magdalenenklause.
