With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Eisenstadt, 17 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Schloss Esterhazy, Esterházy Palace and Austrian Jewish Museum. The locals will also probably point you toward Wiener Neustadt, 19 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Hauptplatz. (But we’re also big fans of Dom and Casemates.)
