The palace was bombed during WWII, but you would not know it to pay a visit to there now. It is in the center of the altstadt/stadtmitte and is interesting. However, if you want a more Versailles like visit, then go to Nymphenburg Palace or King Ludwig's castles.

Great tour for a rainy day. Some of the furnished rooms are outstanding in a Versailles-like way.
