. Visit the Nymphenburg Palace and Gardens

Visit Mad King Ludwig's birthplace, Nymphenburg Palace. Nymphenburg was the summer residence of the Bavarian royalty from 1660 forward and is one of the most beautiful and possibly the largest remaining baroque palaces in Europe. The gardens and lake are a delight, with pavilions, botanical gardens and plenty of sculpture. Buy some handcrafted porcelain at the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory or visit the Marstall Museum to see an impressive collection of royal coaches and sleighs.

. Visit the Munich Frauenkirche

For the best views of the city and the Alps, visit the Frauenkirche church. The interior is such that you do not notice the windows because they are hidden by the many pillars in the cathedral. Check out the devil's footprint which legend has it was created when the devil stamped his foot in glee at the folly of the architect.

Alternatively, visit the city's oldest church, St Peter's just off the Marienplatz. It is a long climb to the top using a small spiral staircase but well worth it.
