The palace chapel and the Haydnsaal – world-famous for its acoustics – are further highlights of this tour.  Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) had been employed with the Esterházy family for more than 40 years. After his death he was first buried in Vienna. In 1820 his remains were transferred to Eisenstadt and put into their final resting place, the mausoleum, in 1954. The Haydn Mausoleum is located right under the north tower of the Haydn Church. It is the famous composer's dignified and evocative place of burial. Thousands of music lovers from all corners of the globe visit the mausoleum every year.Also you will see Haydn House Eisenstadt,Haydn Mausoleum, Calvary, Haydn‘s Herb Garden Jewish Quarter and Jewish Cemetery and more. Our next stop will be at Sopron. There you will know who the famous „poncichters” of Sopron are, why traditional local foods are prepared with beans and how Sopron’s most well known red wine got the name Bluefrankish. During our visit you will see Várkerület – Fountain of Fidelity, Statue of Virgin Mary, town walls, Archeological park behind the town hall Main Square, one-time Forum Scarbantia  Firewatch tower,  Buildings of the Main Square, Goat church, Old Benedictine monastery and Chapter house, Palaces in Church Street (Templom utca),  Lutheran church,  Széchenyi Square, Synagogues in New Street , Building of St. George Street and St. George church. In Sopron we also visit to the Harrer Chocolate Factory. The Austrian confectioner dynasty Harrer goes back four generations and aims to initiate you into the mysteries of pralines, truffles, flavoured chocolate and so much more. Visits to the factory involve a video on the production of chocolate and lots of chocolate tasting, be it dipping fruit into chocolate fountains, sampling Harrer’s raw, dark, milk and flavoured chocolates, or sipping champagne alongside your truffles. Our next stop we will make at the Ferto, this region  and the surrounding region have been considered a UNESCO World Heritage site. Many enchanting towns and villages are located in this area. There we will visit to  Esterházy Palace, a magnificent Baroque castle, also known as the “Hungarian Versailles”, is located in the centre of the Ferto. The construction and heyday of the castle complex are connected to Prince Miklós (Nikolaus) Esterházy, who was given the title of “the Magnificent” because of his building of palaces and taste for grand musical productions and luxurious festivities. The Esterházy Palace was built between 1762 and 1784 in Baroque and Rococo styles. It is often compared to Versailles, but some historians argue that it was rather influenced by Austrian prototypes, especially the Schönbrunn Palace. The park and the landscape surrounding the castle represent the most mature work of Baroque garden art in Hungary.After we will return to Vienna.
