12 Most Instagrammable Places in Munich
1. Asam Church![Asam Church](https://www.mommytravels.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/P1010665.jpg)
The Asam Church is a Baroque church in Munich, built from 1733 to 1746 by brothers, sculptor Egid Quirin Asam, and painter Cosmas Damian Asam as their private church. It is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen in person and it’s completely free to go in. It’s near Marienplatz.
2. Residenz
München Residenz is a place like no other – once the royal palace of Bavarian monarchs, it now stands as one of Germany’s most visited museums. Admired for its epic architecture and ornate interior design, visitors from around the globe flock to experience this slice of history first-hand! Like many places in Munich it was bombed and has been rebuilt. Book a private tour.
We didn’t book a private tour. We just walked around on our own. It was pretty empty as you can see from my photos. However, I wish we had taken some sort of educational tour here cause the artwork was off the charts.
2. Nymphenburg Palace

Nymphenburg is a Baroque palace in München, Bavaria. The palace was the main summer residence of the former rulers of Bavaria of the House of Wittelsbach. And if that wasn’t enough – you can hop on an extra special gondola ride amidst Nymphenburg Palace grounds (just watch out for those Insta-worthy shots!). So visit Munich today and make your Baroque dreams come true! Get skip the line tickets.
