Overview of your Budapest tour

Be on Elisabeth's track, see her amazing baroque palace situated 15 miles away from Budapest. The palace was the summer residence of Queen Elisabeth (Sissi) and Francis Joseph (Habsburg Emperor & Hungarian King. The building's history started in the 18th century when Count Anton Grassalkovich had it built as his family residence. Then in 1867, it was given to the royal couple. The palace and its surroundings were especially beloved by Elisabeth (Sissi), who used to spend here lots of time going for a horse ride or a walk. Since she hated being in Vienna, this castle became her place of refuge. About twenty years back it was reopened as an interesting museum. During our personal visit, I will show you the beautiful rooms that have regained their splendor and make you familiar with the life of the royal couple. Then we can go for a stroll in the garden and have a cup of coffee in the Palace Cafe.
