From grand palace gardens to charming monastic courtyards, the day encourages people to explore, appreciate, and protect the landscapes that have shaped European history and aesthetics for centuries.

Program at Royal Palace of Gödöllő:

"Tales with Prince Magnus Mousecastle”- discovery package for families

With Prince Magnus Mousecastle, the number one mouse dweller of the Royal Palace of Gödöllő, you can discover the secret places, animals and plants of the palace park. With the help of the workbook, you can acquire knowledge in a playful way, and the park map helps you orientate. The self-discovery package can be found at the palace’s ticket office this weekend at a discount of 500 HUF. 

Park plants and insects nature trail 

The palace park, as part of the Danube-Ipoly National Park, has many special plant varieties that would not be so beautiful without the insects that pollinate them. These little creatures don't always get the attention they deserve, so you can get to know them better on the free educational trail at the weekend.

Royal Hill Pavilion Visit

Located around 200 metres from the Palace, the Royal Hill Pavilion is the only remaining building in the Palace Park which dates from the Baroque period. It was Antal Grassalkovich I who had the hexagonal pavilion built in the 1760s.

There are 54 oil paintings depicting Hungarian leaders and kings incorporated into the panelled walls of the pavilion. The building was reconstructed in 2002. The set of pictures were re-created by means of advanced photographic technology in 2004, and since then the pavilion may be visited on guided tours. On this day from 10.00 to 16.00 it can be visited free of charge.
