General information on Vaduz
Vaduz Castle, the most prominent landmark of the town, is the residence of the Reigning Prince of Liechtenstein. The former farming town, known mainly for its excellent wine, has become a location for internationally recognized industry and trade, banks, and various service enterprises and many shopping opportunities.
Vaduz is home to the Liechtenstein Museum of Fine Arts, the National Museum, the Liechtenstein High School, the Music School, the Liechtenstein University of Applied Sciences, the Postal (postage stamp) Museum, the Ski Museum, the National Library, an open-air swimming pool, the Rhine Park Stadium, and various other sports facilities.
In the 12th century, Vaduz was documented as "Faduzes" or as "De faduze". The settlement of the town probably began in the 5th century, considerably earlier than the Castle, whose oldest parts are from the 12th century.
Beginning in the 14th century, Vaduz was written as we do today. The original center of Vaduz was the Mitteldorf. Many houses in Mitteldorf and Oberdorf are historically protected. The Red House can be seen from far away, a medieval corbie gable house.

The Liechtenstein Royals look a lot friendlier than the British lot! Nice page on Vaduz, somewhere I hope to make it to soon.
It's appropriate that a postage-stamp-size country like Liechtenstein should have such a good postage stamp museum -- but I'm sure the people in Vaduz are sick of hearing lame jokes about that, LOL.
I use to visit Vaduz quite frequently while I lived in Germany; it was a great place to shop for rare and out-of-print books. I remember the Schloss Vaduz quite vividly; it was an excellent area for hiking.
i love your Schloss (Castle) Vaduz picture. Nice page also with great tips
Hello Peter! This is a stunning city! Very helpful and practical tips too! Thank you.
you are a good host! :-)
Peter, you were right, for some reason I never left a comment on your Vaduz page, although I am pretty sure that I have checked it before our little trip to this lovely country.
Great Photos and info. Thanks - Brian
Very interesting for such a tiny place! I like the info. for the stamp museum, Valduz Castle, and the Royal Family--very nice looking family!
A beautiful tiny place. The castle is really marvellous.
