Festetics Palace

I had a fantastic time at the Festetics Palace in Hungary. This beautiful palace is situated near Lake Balaton, making it a great destination for travelers. The palace has plenty to offer for younger visitors, with lots of interesting things to see and do. There are also many restaurants and a well-designed center nearby that are definitely worth checking out. Overall, the Festetics Palace is a fantastic place to visit in Hungary.

Great place to visit. Palace plus five exhibitions. You can visit them separately. Compact and fast to walk. If You have 2-3h you can see all.

Very nice renovated castle with a beautiful park and a lot of exhibitions.

The palace is beautiful truly in the inside and there is a big garden where you can roam around as a student your entry ticket + the 5 exhibitions ticket will be super cheap and it is worth the visit truly ! If you visit everything it will take you approximately 3 to 4 hours all is very interesting and modern I highly recommend if you are here to do this it's a must

Perfect place for trip the most beautiful place that I see:)

Really decently priced to see everything here, if you wish to see everything I would give it a full day, but just the palace and one exhibit still took about 2 to 3 hours, pretty gardens to sit in which are free of charge as well. DSLR Photography or videography inside the palace requires, 1400 HUF extra, really recommend

An interesting palace with breath taking decorations, fairnachers, pictures and rich history. The palace radiates an impressive but quiet power. There is a very beautiful view from the main tower. After visiting the palace you can enjoy yourself from the nice park around it.

we enjoy it so much..the tickets are worth it..
we purchased the 5+1 and it's really worth it.

Simply wow! I really can't understand why this palace is not all that know abroad as other palaces, because it's really a little gem that should be visited MORE for sure! I didn't visit it internally because I didn't have time, but externally it's just wonderful, especially thanks to its gardens! The palace and gardens are both very well kept and well cared for

Fantastic place and very well kept. If you visit the castle and their other exhibits, it could be a whole day program. Restaurants right by the entrances to be avoided.

We were here with 5, 8 and 12 yrs old kids and spent the whole day here. The castle itself is interesting and they also liked the model train exhibit (although barely interactive) and couch and carriages exhibit. The hunting exhibition is grand but would have been even nicer to let all those animals live and multiply.

Guided tours were better with the english group 😅 was more relaxed, quieter, got time to look around and read about each room in your own phase... guided tour on hungarian language was a bit lenghty and sometimes boring for some people, the tour guide was talking the whole time sharing interesting extra informations with the guests... nice place to visit definitely recommended..

Really nice palace. Hungarian, German, and English guides. It is like a mini-version of Schönbrunn in Austria. Recommend for kids aswell as adults.

We didn't go inside but even a stroll around the beautiful park (whic is free) is a really nice experience. The palace is beautiful and well mantained. Definitelly worth a visit.

It's such a beautiful chateau. I felt that I am not in Hungary but I am in France. The architecture & garden is so beautiful. Above all there is a pastries & coffee shop.

Baroque palace built by Festetics family who had a great contribution in development of nearby habitated area since they were opening schools, hospitals and an agricultural college.

The family originates from Croatia and were prominent during Austro-Hungarian Empire times.

Today the palace serves as a museum and has the biggest aristocratic library in Hungary. It's surrounded by a beautiful garden maintained in English style.

It is nice and beautiful - I have felt that I am a princess but woke up and it turned out I am not a princess I am a tourist :) Castle has changed a lot since I was there last time - it happened to be in 1993 or '94. Unfortunately, the entire palace can't be seen only south wing of the castle is currently available. I wanted to see more contemporary furniture, but there are limited possibilities for that. My little one really liked the library and I was happy to see his interest. The garden around the castle is amazing - autumn has showed its most picturesque face for us - couldn't take enough photos of trees, bushes and their colors. Keszthely and Balaton - in my opinion - are more beautiful during autumn than summer times ....

Must see, amazing. And only from 18th century. U can take palace and 1 exibition, we took birds and palms 👍😀
Nice colection od hibiskus and cactuses, some exotic ducks.

A beautiful and well maintained castle. We hired a tour guide and had more than one hour tour in which a lot of interesting information was shared with us about the cake y and the family. I will bring my girls here next time as they love castles and go without the tour, in sure it will be good enough for them.
I do but recommend going up the tour, it is but really worth the extra charge nor the bird garden, didn't see anything too interesting there.

Magnificent palace. Stables. Gardens. Grounds. All still part of c omplec just as it was when this was a royal family. The library is unbelievable. Something right out of an Elizabethan novel. Multi tiered. All walls bookshelves. A secret door into a smaller private library and office. All the furniture and decoration of the period are there in the castle and match perfectly. And are beautiful.
