Why Nymphenburg Palace matters
Nymphenburg was the summer palace of Bavaria's rulers, and its long facade and canals feel like Versailles with more Bavarian cheer. Inside, the Gallery of Beauties collects portraits of women who caught the king's eye. Outside, lakes, pavilions and wide lawns make a lovely day out, and locals use the park as a place to relax.
Talking points
