Nymphenburg PalaceAbout five miles (8km) from the city centre, accessible by tram
and bus, is the interesting Schloss Nymphenburg, originally a
summer home for the Munich aristocracy. The palace has been
expanded, altered and fitted with various eccentricities by
succeeding owners over the centuries since building began on it in
1664. Today it is a delight for tourists who revel in exploring the
villa and grounds. Inside there are some interesting frescoes in
the main hall. An arcaded gallery features a collection of 36
provocative paintings ordered by King Ludwig I showing the most
beautiful women of his day. The surrounding park has some surprises
too, with some interesting pavilions hidden among the English-style
gardens. There are also collections of Ludwig's elaborate coaches
on display, and a porcelain museum.
