Top 15 things to do and attractions in Godollo

Visiting the Royal Palace of Gödöllő was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the elegance and historical charm of the palace grounds. The architecture is breathtaking, beautifully restored, and a true reflection of 18th-century grandeur. Inside, the rooms are rich with history—each one tells a story, especially the ones dedicated to Empress Elisabeth ("Sisi"). The exhibitions are well-curated and informative without being overwhelming. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in preserving the original furnishings and decor, which really transports you back in time. The gardens are just as impressive—perfect for a peaceful stroll or a photo opportunity. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the palace’s heritage. Whether you're a history enthusiast or just looking for a beautiful cultural experience outside of Budapest, this place is an absolute must-see. Highly recommend adding it to your itinerary!

A nice getaway place away from the city. Took about 1h15m of subway plus suburban railway to travel from Budapest to here. They offer crossword game sheet right after the entrance which is very practical to visit and learn. After the visit, we had a short walk in the Godollo town and found a rather cheap cafe

A beautiful castle with lots of character! The castle itself is stunning, filled with beautiful paintings, old photographs, memorabilia, and historical charm. However, I was a bit disappointed by the gardens. The grass and overall landscaping didn’t seem well maintained, which took away from the experience. We also found only one map, so we often weren’t sure where we were or what we were looking at. With some care and attention, the gardens have great potential, and if they were revamped, this place could truly be a hidden gem inside and out.

A beautiful Palace to visit. Nice to walk around the gardens. All facts and information are in multiple languages. There is a cafe and two small gift shops.

Gödöllő Palace is nothing special. You'll find a bit of history there, a few pieces of Queen Sisi's furniture, some clothes, and paintings. If you're passing by, it's worth a quick stop, but I definitely wouldn't make a special trip just for it.

The start of the tour was not so great but that was because they were the older rooms. The second half was beautiful.

Beautiful Baroque style palace. Very well conserved, wonderful furniture and art pieces. Learn about Sisi, when why the Hungarians love her so much

Nice and authentic building. Franz Josef and Sisi have seen this station in this glory. It's a pity that only partly open for public.

My son studies the "cimbalom"there every week. Lovely little place.

Stunning building from the past.

Looks great

rebuilding in progress

Beautifull

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and stylish. However, the receptionist or cleaning/maintenance lady working there upon entering was quite surly and rude. She almost managed to ruin the atmosphere of a wedding! (Original) Gyönyörű és stílusos. Viszont a belépéskor ott dolgozó recepciós, vagy takarító/karbantartó hölgy elég mogorva és bunkó volt. Majdnem sikerült neki tönkretenni egy esküvő hangulatát!

Free to visit forest and park with maintained rest areas in the clearings. Quiet, clean air, large area so not crowded. Signposting information and some maps are missing. I recommend visiting, very nice.

It is not a traditional arboretum, I think this place is a park forest. The park is wonderfull and free. If you would like to relax a bit then this place is very good for you. I recommend for you.

Large arboretum of various kind of trees. Good balance between being wild or gardened. Open all year around, free entrance.

Very calm place to be with a huge diversity of nature. You can walk around the park in about an hour, great place.

7 star place! I still like this place but removing the mini train was a big mistake.

Great place to visit with kids.There is a play ground and availability of playing football also. The entrance is free. There are a huge range of different trees and plants. A tourist path also goes next to the park.

To enter from Isaszegi út in Gödöllő, follow the sign "Kisvasút" on Isaszegi út. I would call it a badly maintained park/piece of forest separated by a fence. On the weekends the entry is by payment 1000 Ft adult (not clear which are the services provided though). It used to be lovely in the past. Many trees dried off, the paths are in bad conditions, no signposting at all !!! Plants are generally not marked. If you want to visit an Arboretum, choose the Vácrátót. There is a little train (Kisvasút) starting from the territory, and no information is available about it at the entrance - you have to walk all the way up there first (or call by phone for info). After the closing time the gate stays a bit open for letting out those already in, the guy said they will start closing it for the night as of next year.

(Translated by Google) It's nice and pleasant, but I really miss a couple of benches if they have already been removed from Hösök Square. (Original) Szép,kellemes de nagyon hiányolok egy pár padot,ha mår a Hösök teréröl eltüntették.

(Translated by Google) A very nice memorial made by a local team... We love to walk here... (Original) Helyi összefogásból készült nagyon szép emlékhely... Szeretünk erre sétálni...

(Translated by Google) It would be nice to have two benches because it's nice to rest here and read (Original) Jó volna egy két pad mert kellemes lenni itt piheni, olvasgatni

(Translated by Google) Cultured beautiful place. Congratulations to the makers. (Original) Kulturált szép hely. Gratula a készítőknek.

(Translated by Google) It used to be a cemetery, now it's a park... (Original) Régen ez egy temető volt, ma park...

(Translated by Google) Beautiful. (Original) Szép.

(Translated by Google) A place of spiritual peace. (Original) Lelki béke helye.

(Translated by Google) I ordered a picture and a sticker for the house, they arrived in excellent condition, I really like the image and shape of the chosen sample, although it is true that I used the sticker in a particular way. I don't regret buying from here, thank you! (Original) Egy képet és egy matricát rendeltem házhoz, kiváló állapotban érkeztek meg, nagyon tetszik a választott minta kép- és formavilága, bár igaz, hogy a matricát sajátosan használtam fel. Nem bántam meg, hogy innen vásároltam, köszönöm!

(Translated by Google) Eszter is an extraordinary person, her works transport you to her magical world. Visitors here receive all their attention, a kind and very helpful host who is also open to questions. And this convenience store is a real goldmine, art lovers are guaranteed to find pieces to their liking, but the choice will be difficult! (Original) Eszter egy rendkívüli ember, művei elrepítik az embert az ő varázslatos világába. Az ide látogató megkapja minden figyelmét, kedves és nagyon segítőkész házigazda aki nyitott a kérdésekre is. Ez a kisbolt pedig egy igazi aranybánya, a műkedvelők garantáltan találnak kedvükre való darabokat, csak a választás lesz nehéz!

(Translated by Google) Super good, magical place, fairytale atmosphere! <3 I loved it! I got two wall paintings and now a nice painted jacket! I will visit again soon! :) (Original) Szuperjó, varázslatos hely, mesebeli hangulat! <3 Imádtam! Szereztem két falapos festményt, és most pedig egy szép festett dzsekit! Hamarosan újra ellátogatok ide! :)

(Translated by Google) Great place with real gems. Eszter is a charming personality. Coming back is always an experience. I'm sure my collection will continue to grow :) (Original) Szuper hely, igazi gyöngyszemekkel. Eszter elbűvölő személyiség. Visszatérni mindig élmény. Fog még bővülni a gyűjteményem az biztos :)

(Translated by Google) A truly magical place, a fantasy world that blows you away and amazes you. In addition to her own wonders, paintings, and jewelry, the Artist also gives space to other creators to show their work at intervals. I can only recommend it if the person's son/daughter wants a little recharge and magic in these fast-paced, sometimes chaotic times. :) I have visited several times, I have also acquired treasures and I will definitely return to be enchanted. <3 (Original) Egy igazán varázslatos hely, olyan fantáziavilág, amely elrepít, lenyűgöz. A Művésznő saját csodái, festményei, ékszerei mellett teret ad más alkotóknak is hogy időközönként megmutathassák munkáikat. Csak ajánlani tudom ha a mostani rohanó, olykor kaotikus időkben egy kis feltöltődésre, varázslatra vágyik az ember fia/lánya. :) Én többször ellátogattam már, kincseket is szereztem és még biztosan vissza fogok térni elbűvölődni. <3

(Translated by Google) This is the Magic Shop and Gallery I visited and whose Founder and Owner Anna Vörös Eszter, very kindly and received me warmly! He then told me about it of the establishment of the gallery and shop and the history of its development! I note that this is a gallery, a shop Gödöllő is one of the cultural highlights unit and high quality area together! For all guests visiting Gödöllő I can heartily recommend that it is a must visit this place because it is rich you can enjoy a cultural and artistic experience and not in the last place you can also buy what you like thousands of magical and enchanting from creation! Personally, I was really enchanted by the "image" here and the spirit of the place /Genius loci / immediately hooked! So, I made up my mind several times I come here, I felt so good! But from now on, let's talk the charming pictures instead of me. Which I recorded myself in an almost euphoric state! (Original) Ez a Varázsbolt és Galéria ahová betértem és amelynek, Megalapító Alkotó és egyben Tulajdonosa Vörös Eszter Anna, nagyon kedvesen és szívélyesen fogadott! Majd ez követően elmesélte nekem a galéria és bolt megalakulásának és fejlődésének történetét! Megjegyzem ez a galéria, bolt Gödöllő egyik kiemelt kulturális egysége és magas színvonalú területe is egyben! Minden Gödöllőre látogató vendégnek szivélyesen ajánlhatom, hogy feltétlen keresse fel ezt a helyet, mert gazdag kulturális és művészi élményben részesülhet és nem utólsósorban vásárolhat is kedvére a neki tetsző ezernyi varázslatos és elbűvölő alkotásból! Engem személy szerint, igen elvarázsolt az itteni "imázs" és a hely szelleme /Genius loci / azonnal magával ragadott! Úgyhogy, elhatároztam többször is betérek ide, olyan jól éreztem magam! De a továbbiakban, beszéljenek helyettem az elbűvölő képek. Melyeket jómagam rögzítettem, szinte eufórikus állapotban!

(Translated by Google) Glimpses of a unique, magical, timeless fairy-tale world in all forms of wall pictures, stickers, fridge magnets, clothes, upholstery, hairpins and who knows what else, a little fantasy island in reality, from which you hardly want to go home. The works are primarily inspired and populated by nature, the forest, the night and its real or mythical creatures. Light and Darkness; mystical harmony of life and death. Fortunately, you can even take a small piece home with you :) The creator of the fantasy world, who is also the guardian of the place, a fairy-like and willing host. Write a few kind words in the guest book, and in return you will be enriched with an experience that you will not soon forget. (Original) Egyedülálló, varázslatos, időtlen mesevilág felvillanásai falikép, matrica, hűtőmágnes, ruha, bútorkárpit, hajtű és még ki tudja mi minden formájában, kis fantáziasziget a valóságban, ahonnan alig akarsz hazamenni. A műveket elsősorban a természet, az erdő, az éjszaka és annak valós vagy mitikus teremtményei ihlették és népesítik be. Fény és sötétség; élet és halál misztikus harmóniája. Szerencsére akár haza is viheted magaddal egy kicsi darabkáját :) A fantáziavilág alkotója, aki egyben a hely őrzője, tündérien kedves és készséges házigazda. Írj a vendégkönyvébe pár kedves szót, cserébe gazdagabb leszel egy élménnyel, amit nem felejtesz el egyhamar.

(Translated by Google) We spent a long time here. In a beautiful, demanding environment, cool logical and tricky tasks awaited us. I can only recommend it to everyone 😊 (Original) Tartalmas egy ótát töltöttünk itt. Szép, igényes környezetben, klassz logikai és furfangos feladatok vártak ránk. Csak ajánlani tudom mindenkinek 😊

(Translated by Google) We almost got out :), it was the first escape room where I didn't feel like I was locked in a dirty hole, the tasks were good and not unsolvable (Original) Majdnem kijutottunk:), az első szabadulószoba volt ahol nem azt éreztem hogy egy koszos agyon használt lyukba vagyok bezárva, a feladatok jók voltak és nem megoldhatatlanok

(Translated by Google) The best escape room I've ever been to. The mental institution is very cool and has cool logical tasks. For over 14s! (Original) A legjobb szabadulószoba ahol eddig jártam. Az elmegyógyintézet nagyon para és klassz logikai feladatok vannak benne. 14 éven felülieknek!

(Translated by Google) My colleagues and I were in the Backstage room, as there were many of us, so we got out quickly. The place is very high-quality, there is also a bathroom and a rest room. (Original) Munkatársaimmal voltunk a Backstage szobában, mivel sokan voltunk így gyorsan kijutottunk. Nagyon színvonalas a hely, mosdó és pihenő szoba is van.

(Translated by Google) We were in the alley room, the decoration was very good and the tasks were sufficiently challenging. We liked it, it was a good family program (Original) A sikátor szobában voltunk, nagyon jó volt a dekoráció és a feladatok is kellően rafkósak voltak. Nekünk tetszett, jó kis családi program volt

(Translated by Google) Kind welcome. After a short introduction and conversation, it's time for the games. We've just been there. Logical, it was really good. I can only recommend it. (Original) Kedves fogadtatás .kis bevezető ès beszèlgetès után irány a játèk .most voltunk előszőr .logikai igazán jó volt csak ajánlani tudom

(Translated by Google) Very good, managed to get out in 42 minutes. Clever puzzles, more rooms, and the toilet puzzle :D Thank you! (Original) Nagyon jooooo, 42 perc alatt sikerult kijutni. Ötletes rejtvenyek, tobb szoba, a WC-s rejtvény meg :D Koszonjuk!

(Translated by Google) Great experience, great puzzles. Maybe it was strong for me at first, but my 10-year-old grandson and I really enjoyed it. I think at least 3 adults are needed to complete the one-hour level. Since no one came after us, we were able to solve all the puzzles. And let the darkness of oblivion cover the time spent. Thank you for the great experience! (Original) Remek élmény, nagyszerű feladványok. Talán nekem kezdésnek erős volt, de a 10 éves unokámmal együtt nagyon élveztük. Az egy órás szintidő teljesítéséhez legalább 3 felnőtt kell szerintem. Mivel nem jött utánunk senki, a feladványokat mind meg tudtuk oldani. A ráfordított időre pedig boruljon a feledés homálya. Köszönjük a nagyszerű élményt!

(Translated by Google) A very good, enjoyable and nice room, and since the tasks are separate, there is no danger of getting stuck, if one puzzle is too difficult, you can work on the others. (Original) Nagyon jó, élvezetes és kedves szoba, és mivel a feladatok különállóak, ezért az elakadás veszélye sem fenyeget, ha az egyik rejtvény túl nehéz, akkor lehet a többin dolgozni.

(Translated by Google) We were a little scared on the way, because we didn't want to believe that we weren't lost, but it really is at the given address, at the bottom of a family house. The room is cozy and well furnished. The task is understandable, we managed to solve it in record time. I hope this compliments our skill. We had a good time. (Original) Az úton kicsit megijedtünk, mert nem akartuk elhinni, hogy nem tévedtünk el, de tényleg a megadott címen van, egy családi ház aljában. A szoba hangulatos, jól berendezett. A feladat érthető, nekünk sikerült rekord idő alatt megoldani. Remélem, ez a mi ügyességüket dicséri. Jól éreztük magunkat.

(Translated by Google) I really liked it. Perhaps the best so far. There were more thought-provoking, logical tasks, less luck here. I can only recommend it! (Original) Nagyon tetszett, tényleg. Talán a legjobban az eddigiek közül. Több elgondolkodtató, logikai feladat volt, itt kevesebb múlt a szerencsén. Csak ajánlani tudom!

(Translated by Google) A very imaginative logic game. It provides a pleasant relaxation for adults. (Original) Nagyon ötletes logikai játék. Kellemes kikapcsolódást nyújt a felnőtteknek.

(Translated by Google) Kind, well thought out, informative. I recommend it (Original) Kedves, jól kitalált, informatív. Ajánlom

(Translated by Google) It's exciting, it's not at all easy to get out ;) (Original) Izgalmas, egy csöppet sem könnyű a kijutás ;)

A beautiful park. Great for a walk, a picnic or a workout. It has a big picnic area, free gym area, and a dedicatied exactly 1km soft floor circuit for runners. There is at least one big event here every year with big concerts and fireworks. There are railway, bus, and suburban train stations right next to the park.

It's a really beautiful and quiet place. It has some parks for dogs.

quite a big park for walking, some activity for the kids, peaceful...no facilities as far as I know, but there's the train station nearby, assigned the other side you find a cafe and the cultural centre with the occasional exhibitions ore concerts...

Very beautifu park in Gödöllő. Has bench for relaxing, clean and safe both day and night.

Nice park full of nature.

Love the new running trail around the park... even if the climbing after 500m is pure hell. Lol

Nice park with some trails where you can run and do some exercises. However, it is not well lit in the nighttime.

(Translated by Google) The statue stands in Petőfi Sándor Square in front of the Evangelical Church. Nice work. The surroundings are also nicely arranged, so it is worth looking around a bit. (Original) A Petőfi Sándor téren áll a szobor az Evangélikus templom előtt. Szép alkotás. A környezete is szép rendezett, ezért érdemes kicsit a környéken körülnézni.

Sándor Petőfi (1823-1849) is one of the most significant figures of 19th-century Hungarian literature, and his romantic national poetry is world-famous. Petőfi visited Gödöllő twice, in 1843 and 1845. The statue, created by Imre Kovács Turáni, was brought here in 1955 to commemorate this. (Original) Gödöllő, Petőfi Sándor szobor a Petőfi téren, az Evangélikus templom előtt.

(Translated by Google) The work of István Kovács Turáni was erected in 1955, remembering that the poet stayed here in 1843 and 1845. The first time he worked on the Hungarian translation of Robin Hood, the memory of the second time is preserved in the cycle of poems Szerelem Gyngyei, which he wrote for Berta Mednyánszky, the daughter of the welfare director of the Grassalkovich castle. (Original) Turáni Kovács István alkotását 1955-ben állították, arra emlékezve, hogy a költő 1843-ban és 1845-ben is időzött itt. Először a Robin Hood magyar fordításán dolgozott, a második alkalom emlékét a Szerelem gyöngyei versciklus őrzi, amelyet Mednyánszky Bertához, a Grassalkovich-kastély jóságigazgatójának lányához írt.
