Il programma nel dettaglio

Visit the second largest Baroque Palace of the world at Godollo during this tour of Magic Hungary. A mere 30-minute drive from Budapest transports you to a palace that reveals vestiges of the imperial and royal past of Hungary.

The former summer residence of Queen Elisabeth (Sissi) and Francis Joseph (Habsburg Emperor & Hungarian king 1867-1916), Godollo is one of the largest and most important monuments preserved and renovated to reveal the beautiful Hungarian Palace architecture. With a grand double drive leading up to the double u shaped building, the Palace and grounds provide a wonderful setting in which to explore the interesting history of Hungary.

You can enjoy a tour of the interior with its painted foyer, Grand Hall and 23 room exhibit which captures the atmosphere of the Palace’s regal history. Then tour through the extensive gardens of the Chateau, giving you a glimpse of times under the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

With the help of an expert guide you will become acquainted with the secrets of the private life, the hidden doors, bedrooms and lovers of the royal couple.

Next, drive to a traditional Farm where you can sample Hungarian Pogácsa, a local type of savoury scone, and the national welcome drink, Pálinka. Horsemen will take you for a Carriage Ride through the area and to a traditional Horse Show.
