Today i decided to visit nymphenburg palace, birthplace and home of one of munichs most inreresting and influential characters, king ludwig 11. the palace can be easily reached by taking tram 17 from the munich train station on arnulfstrasse, not far away from my Hotel Monaco. after a fifteen minute rede alight at stop nymphenburg and follow signs a short distance to one of the most beautiful palaces in germany arrive as i did, early in the morning when the serious walkers and hikers come out in order to beat the tour busses and crouds. munich is close to the alps and so the weather can be unperdictable. the last six days dave been sunny and warm, perfect for a morning in this baroque palace with hugh outdoor pavilions and an extensive park modeled after versailles.
on third day i followed christines advice advocating a visit to botanical garden near the entrance. price 2.50 euros for this senior. even in spring the gardens provide relaxation and wonder. a photographers paradise with beautiful shots from all angles. i would first walk in the park, then visit the botanial garden for a peacefull rest.
