The visitors to the beautiful city of Munich find no dearth of places to visit here as the city is dotted with exotic tourist spots. Among them is the Munich’s Nymphemburg Palace, which is surely a delight for the tourists.
The central pavilion is the oldest part of the palace, built (1664) as a gift from Elector Ferdinand Maria to his wife Adelaide of Savoy. The ground floor here has a gift shop. The palace was mainly used as a summer residence. The main structure is over 650m long.
The palace has the Stone Hall, a massive Rococo ballroom with splendid chandeliers. The ceiling in this hall is decorated with  frescos by Johann Zimmermann and his son Franz. In July the hall comes alive for the Nymphenburger Sommerspiele concerts.
Max Emanuel’s bedroom in the palace has nine paintings of women, depicted as Goddesses, whom Max had relations with during a spell in exile in Paris. The Chinese Lacquer Room is covered with depictions of country life in the Far East.
From 1726 the Southern Pavilion was reserved for Bavaria’s royal women: The Queens and electresses. As such, the Schönheitengalarie (Gallery of Beauties) has walls filled with portraits of 36 girls picked out by King Ludwig I and painted by Joeseph Stieler from 1826 to 1850.
In the southern pavilion of Nymphenburg Palace, lies the Maserzimmer, which is filled with portraits of King Ludwig I and his wife. The Blauer Salon features 200-year-old Parisian furniture and the bedroom next door was where Bavaria’s fairytale king, Ludwig II, was born.
