A Few Hours in Gödöllo
Gödöllo is the home to the largest Baroque palace in Hungary, which was originally built for the aristocratic Grassalkovich family. Later Franz Josef, emperor of Austria, king of Hungary, and his wife Elisabeth, or "Sisi" as she was affectionately known, used this as their summer residence. Gödöllo is less than an hour away from Budapest by HÉV, making this an ideal getaway for a short day trip. At Christmastime, the decoration of the palace is well worth seeing. While in Gödöllo, you may want to have dinner at Kastélykert Étterem (Palace Park Restaurant) at Szabadság út 4; tel. 28/527-020. They are open daily from noon to 11pm.
