The small town on the bank of the Galga River, Aszód was established more than 600 years ago and received town status again in 1991. The historic atmosphere of the town’s old buildings and the Podmaniczky Palace are not out of place next with the new buildings. The small shops along the main street remind us of the 19th century’s middle class Hungary.

The battle is commemorated every year during the Isaszeg Historical Days.
With a slight exaggeration Kerepes could be described as a miniature compilation of our nation; folk arrived and settled here from almost all of the 64 shires of olden times; Hungarians, Szeklers, Svabians, Slovaks, Serbs, Croatians, Gypsyes and other nations made their home here.

Today the stream supplies the water reserve found on the edge of the village, which offers great fishing.

Mayor's greeting
Dear Visitor,
Welcome to a town that preserves values in its past and is striving for an illustrious future, a town with an honorable past and a vigorous belief in its future.
Gödöllő is more than a colorful little suburb of Budapest. Its sights include some that are unique both nationwide as well as in Europe.
Hungary's biggest baroque castle and smallest Marian column, the oldest baroque theatre, the largest portrait gallery of kings and queens, the second most important museum of agricultural instruments and machinery in the world and the first European Peace Gong can all be found here. Gödöllő is home to three unique exhibitions in Hungary: one is the only year round exhibition on secession; another is the only Holy Virgin museum and third is the National Scouting Collection.
In Gödöllő everything is there to make your sightseeing exciting. The pomp and magnitude of the monarchy suites, the elegance of the castle park in the royal castle mark the era of kings and monarchs. Interesting interiors recall Gödöllő's rich local history and its famous personages. Szent Istvan University offers a youthful bustle and the holy inspirative atmosphere in Máriabesnyő shrine offers a spiritual subsidence.
Gödöllő is the town of parks, parklands, statues and monuments. Walking the parks you will come across the statues of numerous famous people born in Gödöllő, motifs symbolising eternal human values such as the World Peace Memorial, the Tree of Life (Világfa) as well as the Park for National Integration, which symbolises the across border national integrity of Hungarians all over the world.

The Feast Day of Saint Anthony and the Baroque Days at the Castle commemorate Antal Grassalkovich I. who built the royal castle. The Baroque weekend in August commemorates the visit of Queen Mary Therese in Gödöllő.
The era of kings and queens and the most beloved Hungarian queen, Sisi, who spent more than 2000 days in Gödöllő, is commemorated by Violet Day (the queen's favourite flower), Coronation Weekend, Hunters' Day and the Advent Castle Days. The beautiful Assembly Hall hosts the International Harp Festival and the List Festival which have been organized with great success for the past few years. With its unique stage technique, the Baroque Theatre hosts numerous theatrical performances that are very popular with theatre and opera goers. A prestigious ceremony has been organised for twenty years to commemorate the Soviet exodus and the end of the Soviet regime in Hungary. This ceremony is held at the Tree of Life (Világfa) erected in "Alsópark" (the nether park of the castle) on the occasion of the Hungarian Independence Day.
The thematic itineraries and walking routes for sight seeing are to help the visitor discover Gödöllő's values on the whole and explore one specific topic (such as the Queen Elizabeth route).

35 years has passed since the Hungaroring was opened in 1986 between the hills of Mogyoród nearby the beautiful Hungarian capital city. A race track from nowhere started to operate at that time in one of the most professional sports of the world, in Formula 1. Hungaroring has been part this prestigious championship series for 35 years now, it is still special as the second behind Monza to have continuously featured in the F1 race calendar.
The great race tracks of the world, among them Hungaroring in the past three and a half decades, are not only to host the world championships and, as their capacity allows, provide opportunity to practice for those passionate about motorsports, but to serve as a sort of think tank hub of the automotive life of the given country.
It is not possible to over-emphasise, acknowledge and praise Hungaroring as one of the twenty-some race tracks that hold the permission to host a world championship run. It is a privilege that requires constant effort and the delivery of the best in everything – and this is exactly what we do.
Apart from Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix we host such world races as the FIA’s World Touring Car Cup, including not only regular Hungarian participants, but a World Cup winner as well in Norbert Michelisz. We can also mention the worthy popular European Truck Racing Championship series with another Hungarian great driver, two-time European Champion Norbert Kiss.
Hungaroring is the motorsport centre of Hungary, offering great opportunities not only to those who love cars and motorbikes but also for those who are passionate about speed: they can practice in the Driving Centre operating within our premises or enjoy formula car adventure drives…
Our race track is alive and moves forward dynamically. Come and experience it yourself!

Palm House Garden Store and Herbarium, located in the castle park of the Royal Palace of Gödöllő, was opened to the public on 29 August 2015.
In the second half of the 19th century, in the days of Queen Sissi, the historic building was a place for gardening activities that ended during World War II. By the 1980s, the building became completely abandoned and ruined; its renovation started in the following decade, then, in August 2015, a new, refurbished garden store was founded and opened to the public that manages to evoke the luxurious royal times with its exterior and interior designs.
Garden enthusiasts can find everything in the plant nursery from flowering perennials to ornamental trees. The peculiarity of the garden is the six sample gardens designed in different styles that aim to promote garden culture.
At the left wing of the Palm House, a greenhouse welcomes indoor plant lovers. The right wing hosts an Herbarium furnished in baroque style where visitors can choose from a wide selection of artisan teas, marmalades, syrups, spices, and cosmetic products.
Besides the wonderful, royal environment, regular events also provide good reason to visit the Palm House, of which you can find more information on our
