Audio Guide of Bach House in Eisenach

Bach House is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. It is closed on December 24 and 31. It is located at Frauenplan 21, Eisenach. You can easily reach it on foot from the historic center or by taking Bus Line 3 (see the map and details on the official website).

General admission: €12. Students and seniors: €10.50. Families (2 adults + children): €26. Children under 6 enter free. They also offer a combined ticket with Wartburg Castle for €18.50 (buy online here).

We recommend setting aside 2–3 hours to explore all the rooms, including the collection of historic instruments and the interactive musical demonstrations. The Baroque garden can be enjoyed in an additional 15 minutes.

This is where Johann Sebastian Bach was born in 1685. The museum preserves personal objects, original scores, and more than 300 historic instruments, making it the largest collection in the world dedicated to the composer.

It is best to visit on weekday mornings. The low season (September–May) has fewer visitors than summer or the Bach Festival in June.

The ground floor and garden are accessible, but the upper floors can only be reached by stairs. An elevator is available upon prior request (+49 3691 79340). There are also audio guides with audio description for blind visitors.

5 minutes away: Luther House. 15 minutes away: Wartburg Castle (World Heritage Site). We also recommend St. George's Church, where Bach was baptized. (Complete Thuringia Tourism Guide).
