Eisenstadt

The Esterházy Palace is a must-see, showcasing stunning architecture and historical artifacts. The Haydn House, where the composer lived and worked, offers a glimpse into his life. Don't miss the Bergkirche (Church on the Mountain) with its Haydn Mausoleum and the beautiful views of the city.

Lake Neusiedl, a short distance from Eisenstadt, is perfect for water sports like sailing and windsurfing. The surrounding area offers cycling and hiking trails through vineyards and natural landscapes. Birdwatching is also popular, as the lake is a significant habitat for various bird species.

The shoulder seasons (spring and autumn) are ideal, offering pleasant weather for outdoor activities and fewer crowds. Summer is also a good time, especially for enjoying Lake Neusiedl, but it can be hot. The city hosts various cultural events throughout the year, so check the event calendar to plan your visit.
