Are you ready to step into the pre-World War era in Hungary to satisfy your curiosities about the life of royals? Then the Godollo Palace Tour from Budapest is the perfect activity. Rewind the clock to when Elisabeth and Franz Joseph I welcomed the luxurious palace as a coronation gift to house their family, their joys, and their woes.
Surrounded by lush countryside vistas—sit back and relax on the 30-min journey from Budapest to the 19th-century Godollo Palace. Upon arrival, admire the Baroque style of the towering palace, one of the finest representations of Hungarian architecture. Examine the restored rooms adorned with historical paintings and decor. Uncover the truth behind the royal couple’s private life in the palace with revealing stories from a local English or Spanish-speaking guide.
As you walk through the opulent palace halls, step into the shoes of past emperors. The palace is known for its 31 exquisite rooms, including a ceremonial hall, royal suites, the Baroque church, Habsburg Gallery, The Queen Elisabeth Memorial Exhibition, hidden passages, and more. Visit the post-World War II exhibition on the ground floor before a stroll through the 26-hectare English gardens and a quick coffee break. End the tour at the palace store, where rustic trinkets are waiting to be claimed. Hop back onto the vehicle and return to Budapest after a walk through European history!
