Central Hungary

Gödöllő

Sisi's favourite baroque palace, a short ride from Budapest.

A town on Budapest's north-eastern edge, best known for its Royal Palace — one of Hungary's largest baroque palaces, later the summer residence of Emperor Franz Joseph and Queen Elisabeth (Sisi). Its park and the nearby pilgrimage church of Máriabesnyő make an easy half-day trip.
