Nymphenburg Palace
Nymphenburg was the summer residence of the Bavarian royal Wittelsbach family, a large Baroque palace complex fronted by an expansive formal garden that transitions into an English-style landscape park with canals and several ornamental pavilions scattered through it, including the Amalienburg hunting lodge, considered one of the finest surviving Rococo interiors in Europe. The main palace interior includes the Gallery of Beauties, a room of portraits King Ludwig I commissioned of women he considered the most beautiful of his era.
The grounds are large enough to fill a half day on their own even without the palace interior, and the gardens are free to walk, making it a flexible visit depending on how much time and interest you have for the paid interior sections.
