Festetics Palace

Garden of the Festetics Palace, Keszthely, Lake Balaton

The landmark of Keszthely is Festetics Palace with its distinctive Baroque tower. In the main building of the castle you can learn how the princes and counts lived, where they dined, what a beautiful library they had, and if you want you can visit the building from the cellar to the attic or listen to a concert in the Hall of Mirrors. Be sure to take a walk through the French and English parks! The Helikon Castle Museum also includes the Palm House, the Bird Park, the Carriage Museum, the Amazon House, the Hunting Exhibition and the Model Railway Exhibition. All exciting for the whole family! The most favorite for the kids and dads is probably the model railway exhibition, which occupies a whole floor.
