DE Guided tours of Nymphenburg Palace
THE SUMMER RESIDENCE OF THE WITTELSBACHES
 |
Let yourself be transported back to a time when people still wore powdered wigs or when their wasp waists were securely corseted above their many gathered skirts. This journey through time is best enjoyed while gazing out over the Baroque gardens from the Rococo-style ballroom. |
 |
Combine your visit to the palace, which offers insights into the ideal of beauty of various Bavarian rulers, with a long walk in the Nymphenburg Palace Park, where four other park palaces await your visit. |
 |
Learn how even the most magnificent Baroque gardens fell out of fashion after the French Revolution. English gardening became the new fashion, something Munich residents still benefit from today when they jog, walk, or stroll through the park on Sundays. |
Impressions
Description:
Be inspired by the legendary history of the Baroque pleasure palace and its spectacular additions. During our tour, we'll not only learn about how people lived and represented themselves in the palace in the past, but also how it is used today. Join me as we visit not only the fairytale king's birthplace, the extravagant ballroom, or the builders' historic apartments, but also learn about court intrigues in places you might not know where to look first: in King Ludwig I's Gallery of Beauty.

My tips for before and after our tour:
You can easily spend an entire day at Nymphenburg Palace. There you'll find not only the palace complex itself, but also many other museums that give you an insight into the lives of the Wittelsbach rulers. The Marstallmuseum is all about horses, with carriages, sleighs, and riding equipment from the Wittelsbach family. The Nymphenburg Porcelain Museum, on the other hand, focuses on festively decorated tables. The Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory not only achieved world fame thanks to the genius of master model maker Franz Anton Bustelli, but also continues to stand for exquisite quality in table decorations. The "Man and Nature" Museum is a completely different experience. Here, evolution takes center stage, and children of all ages will have fun.
But if you've already had enough of a museum experience after visiting the castle, then the nearby Neuhausen beckons with its pretty side streets, the lively Rotkreuzplatz or the Sacred Heart Church, a masterpiece of contemporary sacred architecture.
