Old family castle in the middle of Keszthely, with nice gardens and the usual exhibits of family rooms and portraits. The ticketing system is complicated, and of course no one at the ticket counter...

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

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.
