Love story
The Emperor of Austria-Hungary Franz Joseph Habsburg loved his wife Elizabeth (Sissi) very much. Elizabeth loved Budapest, and the city answered her - and only her - in return. Much reminds of the Empress in Budapest, and cozy coffee houses, here called "tsurazdas", with tables for two and fresh roses in tiny vases, or elegant embankments, where it is so good to walk in the evening, when the Royal Palace on Budaiskaya is shining with golden lights, are set in a romantic mood. to the side and the magnificent Parliament - on Pest. And the bridges that firmly connect both banks!

The story of imperial love is told in Vienna and in Gödöllö, while in Budapest it takes on vivid features and memorable details. Here is Matthias Church - here they were crowned as King and Queen of Hungary. Here is the Western Railway Station - here the emperor and empress came on visits from Vienna. Here is Elizabeth Boulevard, lined with magnificent houses on the eve of the Millennium celebration. The history of the city is woven into a love story; but this is a triangle - and one of the three is unlucky in love …
