Eisenach is known first of all for the Wartburg Castle, which is located nearby, and due to which the town appeared. A great preacher and reformer Martin Luther spent his childhood in Eisenach. Johann Sebastian Bach was also born here. Their houses are currently museums.

There's no half-timbered downtown in Eisenach, only few buildings of this type. But near the ​​Johannes Platz you can find the narrowest house in Germany.

The Market Square is surrounded by buildings of different styles and eras. The most beautiful of them is the Town Palace. Now it houses a tourist information office and a museum of Thuringia.
