Munich

Although I spent 3 days and two nights in Munich, my actual exploration of the city was very limited.  It really only consisted of half of day after I arrived by train from Berlin due to the excursions I took the following two days.  I did get to see a fair amount of the old city but unfortunately a lot of the main sites were under reconstruction so although impressive in size were not much to look at.  However a trip to the outskirts of the city was highlighted by a visit to the Nymphenburg Palace.  The palace is in a very different style, much more simplistic than other royal residences in Europe but its gardens and interlocking canals that surround the palace make it quite beautiful.
