The treasury houses a collection of luxurious treasures that once belonged to the Bavarian royal family.

Nymphenburg Palace is located in the west of Munich, and was built in 1675 AD. At the time, Max Emanuel expanded a country house into today's Nymphenburg Palace. This palace is the birthplace of Ludwig II, the so-called king of fairy tales.

Nymphenburg is based on a grand yet simple style. The main hall is red and white, and the combined simplicity and atmosphere it contains is more in line with the character of the owner. The huge gardens and lakes are very beautiful, and the Marstallmuseum in the south wing and the Amalienburg hidden in the woods on the left side of the garden are both well worth visiting.

The Theatine Church is a church in the heart of Munich. It is an Italian Baroque building. Its yellow appearance is striking. Its Mediterranean appearance and yellow color have become a prominent symbol of the city and have had a major impact on the Baroque architecture in southern Germany. The interior is decorated with intricate stucco and feels very bright due to its bright white color.

The church was built in 1663 AD by the Electorate of Bavaria (Ferdinand Maria and HenrietteAdelaide of Savoy) to celebrate the birth of the long-awaited royal heir, Prince Maximilian II Emanuel, in 1662 AD. Religious events and concerts are held there from time to time.

The Dresden Frauenkirche is located on the Marienplatz in the heart of Munich. It is a landmark commonly seen on Munich postcards and one of the tallest buildings in the city center. Itsbell tower can be seen from any place in the city.

It is said that when you step on it, you can't see the window at theedge of the church. The towers on the church are 99m high and are very majestic. The south tower is open to visitors. When standing at the top of the tower you can see the Alps and the city of Munich in the south on a sunny day.

Asam Church is located in the heart of Munich, and was built between 1733 and 1746 AD. It is very representative of Baroque and Rococo architecture in the late period of southern Germany.

Asam Church was originally a private church, and the right side of it was the house belonging to the builder's brother. Due to opposition from the citizens, the brothers were forced to open the church to the public. There are plenty of exquisite Rococo carvings and murals inside. The church was destroyed during air raids in 1944 and was later restored between 1975 to 1983.

The English Garden covers an area of ​​3.7 square kilometers, and is larger than London's Hyde Park and New York's Central Park. Greenery is everywhere, water is flowing, and there are many kinds of birds flying around. The garden is designed in a British style, meaning it conforms to nature and doesn't have many artificial features, hence the name British Garden.

In the garden, you can find the famous Chinese tower, a quaint five-story wooden tower built 200 years ago. It was built according to how Europeans imagined the Oriental world at the time. At the base of the tower is a beer garden.

This is a paradise that locals enjoy, especially in the summer, where people can often be seen having picnics, sunbathing, and playing sports on the vast lawns.

The Old Town Hall is located on the east side of the Marienplatz. It was previously the Munich City Hall before 1874. The building was severely damaged during World War II and its spire was not rebuilt until 1971-1974.

The interior is now a toy museum. It's not very big, but contains a lot of old toys such as carmodels, teddy bears and Barbie dolls, etc. The Marienplatz can be seen from the clock tower.
