[2025 Vaduz Attraction] Travel Guide for Vaduz Castle (Updated Jul)

Liechtenstein is a very small country between Switzerland and Austria. It is easy for everyone to pass by without knowing, but it has beautiful nature that is no less than Switzerland.

There is also a cute train that runs around the town quickly, making it even more convenient to look around.

When it comes to traveling in Central Europe, many people may think of Switzerland, Austria or Germany. But there is another small country hidden in the Alps between Switzerland and Austria, which is Liechtenstein, a princely country that is only 160 square kilometers in size, but has great nature and unique charm. ⸻ 🏰 Vaduz – A small capital city with lots of good things The capital city of Vaduz is the heart of Liechtenstein. It is a small city that can be reached in just a few minutes by foot, but it is full of museums and art. • A highlight that cannot be missed is Vaduz Castle, a castle on a hill, which is the residence of the Prince of Liechtenstein (although it is not open to the public, but you can take beautiful pictures from the viewpoint). • If you love art, you must stop by Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, a small but full-fledged contemporary art museum. • The Liechtenstein National Museum is also suitable for those who love learning about local history. And of course, don't forget to get your passport stamped at the tourist office in the city center – even though you don't need a passport to enter and exit the country, getting a souvenir stamp is really cool. 📬 ⸻ 🏞️ Breathtakingly beautiful nature Outdoor enthusiasts will love Liechtenstein, with its many hiking and cycling trails and stunning views of the Alps. • Malbun is a small mountain village just 20–30 minutes from Vaduz, a paradise for snow lovers in winter and hiking enthusiasts in summer. • Hiking trails like the Fürstin Gina Weg take you to high vantage points where you can see Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Austria all in one! • For those who like to chill, head to the Walser Museum Triesenberg to learn about the culture of the Walser people, a minority with a unique native language. ⸻ 🍴 Must-try local food Liechtenstein’s cuisine is influenced by both Swiss and Austrian influences. Must-try dishes: • Käsknöpfle – a local egg pasta dish topped with melted cheese and fried onions, served with applesauce 🍝🧅 • Ribel – a traditional dish made from cornmeal, served with yogurt or jam • Try a local beer Or wine from the country's own vineyards is not bad at all. 🍷 ⸻ 🧭 A little advice from experience • Travel: It is very convenient to travel from Zurich or Feldkirch (Austria) by bus or train. It does not take long. • Language: People here mainly speak German, but most people speak English well. • Recommended accommodation: Hotel Schatzmann or JUFA Hotel Malbun, suitable for both nature lovers and families. ⸻ ✅ Summary: Small country but great experience Liechtenstein may not be as famous as Switzerland or Austria, but it feels warm, quiet, and closer to nature. The highlight is high safety, friendly people, beautiful views all year round, and unique characteristics that you will not find easily in other countries.

| A Day in a Country (Photography Guide). Hidden in the embrace of the Alps, the blue Rhine River flows gently. At the border of Austria and Switzerland lies a small and charming country - Liechtenstein. Although the country is small, its beautiful scenery is enough to make people linger. In one day, whether it's a city walk or a nation walk, you can easily enjoy it. Accommodation🏠: Our journey started from Innsbruck. After taking the train to Fredkirch, we chose a local hotel to stay in. The reason for choosing this place is that the hotel prices in Liechtenstein are almost three to four times that of Fredkirch. Staying in Fredkirch, you can reach the heart of Liechtenstein in just half an hour by bus, and the next day you can easily take a train or Flexbus to other attractions in Switzerland to continue exploring. Travel route🚇: 🍞: After arriving, you might as well go to the old town to find some simple breakfast. Although the food choices here are not rich, you can quickly solve your hunger by finding a cafe, and then you can leisurely stroll through the streets and alleys. Friendly reminder, cheese noodles (the taste is like vomit mixed with noodles🤢) and potato pancakes (I can only say, it is a simple version of potato pancakes) please try carefully. Recommended attractions: 1️⃣Vaduz Castle If you can arrive within two hours after sunrise, the golden sunlight will fill the castle, which will be a great time to shoot. Unfortunately, when we arrived, it was almost afternoon, but the scenery at sunset was equally charming. After shooting, you might as well overlook the old town. On the way uphill, don't forget to capture the view in Figure 7. St. Peter's Church looks particularly beautiful at this moment! 2️⃣St. Peter's Church The close-up shooting effect of the church is not ideal, and the best shooting location is the overpass across the road. Interestingly, the local license plates in Liechtenstein are small and black, and most of the cars parked on the streets are luxury cars! 3️⃣Stamp Museum and Tourist Center Stamping Liechtenstein has several museums, and the Stamp Museum (for me, it is a brand new experience) is undoubtedly one of the best. The design of the sliding door is very photogenic. After visiting, don't forget to go to the tourist center to stamp (although the price of 3 euros makes me feel distressed for a page of passport😭, but since I am here, how can I miss it?) 4️⃣Walk along the Rhine The Rhine River defines the boundary between Switzerland and Liechtenstein. In the middle of the bridge, you can check in the boundary marker. There are low villas everywhere. While walking, we met an old lady wearing Chanel and Hermes, who was extremely elegant. This small country with a population of 35,000 has a per capita GDP of $200,000💵. It is said that everyone has
