Triesenberg is on a terrace above Vaduz, and it commands excellent views over the Rhine Valley. As well as a lovely onion-domed church, it has a museum devoted to the Walser community, which journeyed here from Switzerland in the 13th century. The Walser dialect is still spoken in the region.
Liechtenstein's premier ski resort nestles amid the mountains in the country's south-east. As well as two ski schools, it has good runs for novices and more difficult ones for the experienced. The main road from Vaduz terminates at Malbun, and there are daily buses from the capital.
Little more than a village, Vaduz contains most of the points of interest in Liechtenstein. Two adjoining streets, Städtle and Äulestrasse, enclose the centre of town, and everything of any importance is within this small area. The State Art Collection (Staatliche Kunstsammlung) has good temporary exhibitions and includes parts of the art collection that the princes of Liechtenstein have acquired over the centuries. The Postage Stamp Museum contains more than 300 frames of stamps issued since 1912. For ski buffs there's even a Ski Museum, open only in the afternoons.Although the castle is not open to the public, it is worth climbing up the hill for a closer look. There's a good view of Vaduz and the mountains, as well as a network of marked walking trails along the ridge. The National Museum (Landesmuseum) has coins, weapons, folklore exhibits and an informative slide show of the history...
The first and only indication you get of entering Liechtenstein is the border sign on the bridge crossing the Rhine from Switzerland. Liechtenstein is not the biggest tourist draw in Europe but if you are in the area, you certainly should go and spend a few hours there if for no other reason but to say you have been there..
I was exclusively in Vaduz, the capital where there's a beautiful castle. It's nothing like a city, but rather a small mountain village.Liechtenstein is famous for the unique stamps, highly wanted by philatelists !!! I used to collect them for some years... If you like rich people...go over there.
Hike along the Rhine! The country is only a few miles across in the south - you can see Vaduz and walk across the country in the same day - how often can you say that? wandering up the hill to the castle in the drizzle.
This little principality is probably best for those looking for scenic beauty. To be certain, Liechtenstein, by itself, offers no more than two or three days of interest, but it is also a good base for exploring eastern Switzerland or western Austria, as well as for skiing. That said, in a country that is only 62 square miles in area, that's not bad. Among the places worth a look - though this is not all - are the capital city of Vaduz, with the Prince's Castle, the Rauthaus (Parliament), the Catholic Church, the Prince's Art Collection, and the Liechtenstein Stamp Museum. (Also, the tourist office will stamp your passport.) To the south is the town of Balzers, with a small pretty castle. In the mountains, the ski town of Malbun is worth a visit, and in summer is a great place to start a hike.
