Munich is the city of palaces and boasts an imposing royal heritage. Over 700 years of holding court have put a mark on Munich. The city palace, the Residenz and Nymphenburg palace still testify today to the fact that for centuries the city was the center of power and focus of life for the Bavarian rulers. To the present day the cityscape bears the special mark of the royal passion for architecture.
