"Vaduz - Small capital of Liechtenstein" Top 5 Page for this destination Vaduz by HORSCHECK


Vaduz Travel Guide: 204 reviews and 495 photos


In January 2007 we took a daytrip from Zurich in Switzerland to Vaduz in the Principality of Liechtenstein. With only about 5200 inhabitants it is one of the smallest capitals in Europe. Interestingly enough, it is not the largest town in the country.

Vaduz is situated inbetween the river Rhine and the Alps of Liechtenstein. The town's main landmark is the castle which overlooks Vaduz from a hilltop. Other interesting sights include the St. Florin's Cathedral, the Town Hall and the Red House.

From Vaduz we also visited the neigbouring Schaan, which is Liechtenstein's largest town and also headed off to Felkirch, a medieval town in Austria's county Vorarlberg. At the end of the day we have been to 3 different countries.

    Me again, coming back after five years for another look at your Vaduz page. I know someone who grew up in Vaduz but studied in Bern and now lives in New York. She still goes back to Vaduz sometimes, though. Did you spend the 2 Swiss francs (with an s, LOL) to get your passport stamped?

    Three countries in a day, that isn't bad! I hope to visit Liechtenstein one day.

    I am now tempted to go there, well - the wine country in Alpine region, that's something very interesting - among other things :)

    Vaduz is just a starting point. Those buses take you up into the "backcountry" where you can amble your way back down to the "City". Nice collection.

    For such a small country, they really had a lot of wealth and large castles, was my recall. Great job of the pictures and professional comments.

    Interesting page on Vaduz. I must admit, I don't know much about Liechtenstein. Vaduz certainly has a lovely castle and churches.
