Eisenstadt

A Karen Brown Recommendation

Eisenstadt is where Franz Joseph Haydn lived for 30 years and brims with mementos of his musical genius. Continue straight into town and stay on the same street until you come to the Schloss Esterhazy. Either before or after the tour of the castle, take the short walk to Haydn’s home (only about a block away). As you face the castle, the street where Haydn lived runs along the right side of the castle grounds. Follow this street and you will find his small house on the left side of the road, 21 Haydngasse, marked with a plaque. Plan to eat lunch in Eisenstadt. The town has recently undergone extensive renovation and the plaza in front of the castle stretches out to an inviting pedestrian-only street with many restaurants and shops.
