Five generations of Bavarian royalty spent their summers in this glorious baroque and rococo palace. Nymphenburg stretches more than 1 km (½ mi) from one wing to the other. The palace grew in size and scope over a period of more than 200 years, beginning as a summer residence built in 1663. Within the original building is a magnificent hall, the Steinerner Saal, richly decorated with stucco and swirling frescoes. Nymphenburg contains so much of interest that a day hardly provides enough time. Don't leave without visiting the former royal stables, the Marstallmuseum (EUR1.60), or Museum of Royal Carriages.Take Tram 17 or Bus 41 from the city center to the Schloss Nymphenburg stop.
