Esterházy Palace + Guided Tour

Discover the life and work of one of history's greatest classical composers in the places he worked and performed for over 40 years. On this guided tour, explore the life of Joseph Haydn, his glorious music, and vibrant 18th-century lifestyle of the Esterházy court. Meet personalities from the past, hear their touching stories and see where the princess's immediate servants lived. Your fingers might itch to play the organ, once played by Joseph Haydn when you see it in the palace's 17th-century chapel! In Melinda Esterházy's apartment, explore her career at the opera, her life as a trainee and prima ballerina, and later as princess Esterházy. At the wine museum, you're free to look around alone or join the underground tour through the cellars. It's a great way to discover more about the history of wine-making in the area.
