About this experience

A tour that explores Hungary’s Habsburg heritage in Gödöllö. This charming town boasts a beautiful baroque palace that was once the spring and autumn residence of the royal couple - Franz Joseph and Sisi. Despite the fact that the building had to endure all the hardships of the 20th century, it is now among the most well-preserved palaces in the country and the only place where you can learn about the life of the Habsburgs from a personal perspective.
After a visit to Sisi’s Palace your driver will take you to the renowned Lázár park - built by two carriage-driving champions, the Lázár Brothers - where you'll enjoy a delicious Hungarian lunch in a charming rural setting. The park’s most popular feature is a show that will introduce you to 1000 years of Hungarian history, horse culture and of course, some of its most unique animals.
