Step out of Vienna and discover Burgenland—Austria’s sunniest region, famous for its majestic castles, musical heritage, and world-class wines. As a historian, I designed this premium day trip to showcase the breathtaking contrasts of the powerful Esterházy dynasty.

Musical Grandeur: Explore the elegant Esterházy Palace in Eisenstadt, where the legendary composer Joseph Haydn lived and created his masterpieces for decades.

The Impregnable Fortress: Journey to the dramatic Forchtenstein Castle, a formidable medieval stronghold guarding one of Europe's oldest family treasuries and armories.

VIP Sip & Ride Comfort: Relax and indulge in a local wine tasting. With a dedicated two-person team, your professional driver safely navigates the scenic roads while your expert guide brings the history to life.
