What to do · Eisenstadt
A sandstone quarry worked since Roman times, between Eisenstadt and Lake Neusiedl, about 15 km away. Today its white walls are the stage of the Oper im Steinbruch, an open-air opera every summer, and from April to October it can be visited by day. In winter it is closed. It fits on the way to Rust and the lake.
As a family
Round off the plan
What to order: in autumn, the OHR Gansl, the house's crispy roast goose.
What to order: the weekend breakfast, or the surprise menu on Saturday night.
Why we like it: Three-star family hotel on the Ruster Straße, with 39 air-conditioned rooms, one adapted, a Burgenland restaurant and free parking all around.
Why we like it: Upper-range four-star design hotel beside Esterházy Palace, with 120 rooms, a spa with sauna, the Paulgarten restaurant and a rooftop bar with a view over the plain.
