France: Experience Versailles splendour at
Schloss Nymphenburg (Nymphenburg Palace)
Nymphenburg Palace is unquestionably Munich’s most impressive
palace complex. Consisting of the 200-hectare Schlosspark (Palace
Park), four park pavilions and the Schlossrondell (a grand crescent
of Baroque mansions), the site covers a huge area and offers ample
space for long walks that meander in whichever direction you fancy.
Highlights include the Badenburg pavilion with its impressive swim-
ming pool, the Asian-inspired Pagodenburg pavilion and the Amalien-
burg hunting lodge. The view of the palace from the park is some
what reminiscent of Versailles – with the main difference being that
Nymphenburg is even longer, spanning some 632 metres.
