If you would like to go back in time a little, then let`s go to Gödöllö! The Gödöllő Castle, was the summer house of the much-loved queen of the Hungarians, Elizabeth of Bavaria who was more known as Sissi. Sit back and relax on this leisurely four-hours excursion to the stately mansion of Gödöllő Castle. You’ll take a tour of the castle, enjoy a walk around the park-like grounds and it´s worth to stop for some coffee and cake at the Palace Cafe.
This tour will give you an insider look into the life, customs and memories of Hungary during the time of the double monarchy, Austria-Hungary. In Gödöllő, the 250-year-old Royal Mansion is one of the largest palaces in Hungary and the second biggest surfaced palace after Versailles, as well as a significant work of Hungarian Baroque architecture. The Austro-Hungarian Monarchy's ruling couple, Emperor Franz Joseph and his wife Queen Elizabeth (known as Sissi) frequently stayed here. Most of the building has been restored to its former glory. Classical concerts and major festivals are organized in the state room and the ceremonial court of the palace.
The Palace is in the centre of the property in Gödöllö with its Grand Hall resplendent in white and gold, richly painted rooms, red marble bath and conservatory, horse riding school, baroque theatre and large park is a wealthy representation of the nobility’s lifestyle.
Historical traditions, a variety of cultural events and its wonderfully restored, uniquely impressive complex and surroundings make the Palace one of the most attractive and exciting buildings in Hungary.
