VORSTELLUNG VON GODOLLO

befindet sich in Pest ca. 30 Km nordöstlich von Budapest entfernt. In Gödöllő befindet sich die Universität Szent István Egyetem (Stefan Universität), die wichtigste Landwirtschaftsuniversität in Ungarn. Vor allem die Österreicher besuchen dieses Gebiet sehr oft wegen dem Königspalast, ursprünglichem Palast von Kaiser Franz Josef und Königin Elizabeth.

WIE ERREICHEN

Gödöllő is located on the Budapest-Hatvan line. Three trains leave the Keleti train station hourly. The journey takes about 40 minutes. There are three train stations: Gödöllő-Állami telepek, Gödöllő, and Máriabesnyő. The Állami telepek stop is near the Arboreteum and Beekeeping museum, 3.5 kilometers outside of town. Gödöllő's main train station is located right outside the Alsó park (lower palace park) and is about a 15 minute walk away from the palace and downtown area. The Máriabesnyő stop is outside the pilgrimage temple.

Gödöllő is connected to Budapest by the HÉV commuter rail. The station is located at Örs Vezér tere, just outside the last stop of the red metro line. Gödöllő has four HÉV stops. The first is Erzsébet park, right in between the Felső Park (upper park) and the scenic Erzsébet park. The second is Szabadság tér, located in the heart of downtown and steps away from the royal palace and city museum. The third is Palotakert, which drops you off near the Palotakert housing development, and the last stop is the Gödöllő train station.

Buses leave from the Budapest Népstadion station daily. Typically there are several buses an hour, but the trip takes 40 – 50 minutes. Buses stop at the city bus station. Gödöllő is accessible by the M3 motorway and road 3 out of Budapest.
