Nymphenburg

Palace, park and a very large beer garden

Nymphenburg is in the west of the city and built around the Baroque summer residence of the Bavarian rulers. The palace park, a botanical garden and the Hirschgarten fill most of a day.

Schloss Nymphenburg has a large park behind it, with canals, lawns, woodland and small pavilions. The Marstallmuseum in the former royal stables holds carriages and sleighs, and the Museum Mensch und Natur is in the north wing of the palace.

The Botanischer Garten München-Nymphenburg lies beside the park. A few kilometres east, the Hirschgarten has a deer enclosure and one of the largest beer gardens in the city.

Getting there

Tram 17 stops at Botanischer Garten and Schloss Nymphenburg, and Romanplatz (trams 12, 16 and 17) is the next stop on from the palace. Hirschgarten (S-Bahn) is the stop for the Hirschgarten.
