Nymphenburg Castle

Royal castle with baroque garden

If you want to take a trip to the Bavarian monarchy in Munich, Nymphenburg Palace in the west of the Bavarian capital is just the right place. Besides the huge palace building, the beautiful park also attracts several 100,000 visitors from all over the world every year.

Time travel through the splendid court life

You should take a few hours to visit Nymphenburg Palace. Even from the outside, Nymphenburg Palace, which is one of the great royal palaces of Europe, is extremely impressive. Inside the palace, visitors can expect a very special journey back in time through the splendid court life of the 17th and 18th centuries. The Gallery of Beauties of King Ludwig I is just as worth seeing as the three-storey Stone Hall or the Birth Room of King Ludwig II, also known as the Fairytale King.

Several museums with countless exhibits

But there is more to Nymphenburg Palace than just an exciting insight into courtly life. There are also several museums in the palace. In addition to the Porcelain Museum, the Marstall Museum and the Erwin von Kreibig Museum, there is also the "Man and Nature" Natural History Museum here. In each of these museums there is a lot to experience thanks to countless exhibits from past centuries. It will certainly not be boring here. After all, there is something exciting for every age group.

Linger in Nymphenburg Palace Park

The palace is surrounded by the Nymphenburg Palace Park, which invites you to linger all year round. The park, which was laid out in the early 18th century, features many exotic trees and plants as well as several large water basins with richly decorated fountains and water features. On the Nymphenburg Canal you also feel like you are in the famous canals of Venice - especially when you are romantically travelling here in a gondola.
