hello all
It’s been 10 + years since a few trips to Germany including a few palaces and castles.
My upcoming trip to Munich and Berlin with points in between has the possibility of Sansoucii ( and the new) in Potsdam as a day trip including the Barberini museum.
Of Nymphenburg, Charlottenburg, or Sansouci which would be your choice and wly, please. The only one I have not been to is Sansouci, but my travel companion has seen only two castles/palaces in past travel.

You won't "lose" with any of the choices. I've visited all three.
My favorite was Sanssouci. Probably because of a background interest in Frederick the Great. The added bonus of Sanssouci is that there are several other palaces and sites of interest in Potsdam. It isn't hard to visit more than one site on a day visit. If interested in a break from Baroque - Cecilienhof, the meeting place of Churchill, Stalin, and Truman is close by. From that site, I walked over the Bridge of Spies. Something different.
Edit - Oops. This official website indicates Cecilienhof is closed for renovation. I did a check on another website before suggesting above, I didn't see this mentioned, but see now that it is indeed closed until 2027. Other options below, Visited many over a couple days - none were a disappointment!

I think being in Munich for any length of time and not seeing Schloss Nymphenburg is just wrong. especially in the spring. Winter, not so much. Now Linderhof in the snow is special.
