Vaduz - The red house

by globetrott

The red house in Vaduz is one of the oldest buildings and you will find it high above the village, in a distance of 200meters from the main-street (Herrengasse) - it is best to take the small tourist-train in order to see it. Next to it you may see a small vinyard that belongs to the Princely Wine-cellars . The tourist-train makes a short stop of 10 minutes at the red house and you will have enough time to take some pictures there !

Liechtenstein - the castle

by globetrott

The castle of Liechtenstein is still inhabited by the Fuerst and his family and it is off-limits for the tourists. You may drive up the mountain and take a closer look from outside, that is all. Unfortunately the castle-facade was under reconstruction, while I stayed in Vaduz last time, therefor I did not drive any closer to the castle.I was working in Liechtenstein in 1979 and It was interesting for me to see the differences, not only in the quality of photography and style of cars....

Walking around Vaduz

by sourbugger

Although you will not find anything spectacular, Vaduz is a pleasant enough place for a wander. There are some nice architectural bits and pieces to see, including some impressive baroque style balconies.I especially liked the red house, shown in the picture which is named for rather obvious reasons.The principality has tried hard to make the most of the little it has : buildings all seem to be well maintained, and sculptures abound.Nice place.

Hiking in Liechtenstein

by loisl

More then half of the country is mountains, the perfect setting for hiking in summer or skiing in winter.Liechtenstein has more the 400km of well-maintained and marked trails.Hiking maps you get either at the Tourist information downtown Vaduz or in bookstores or newsstands.For skiing see my tip in the sports tips

Walser Museum

by loisl

The significant local collection of cultural history of the Walser community that settled in the 13th century presents a new exhibition on topography, the history of the Walser population, parish history, religious customs, machinery for the timber, cattle and agricultural industry and the “Maiensäss hut”, a small time-honored alpine hut. An impressive multi-media slide show on Triesenberg and the alpine region of Liechtenstein rounds off the exhibition nicely.If you want to learn more about the history of the Walser read here:http://www.wir-walser.ch/en/walser/history/index.htmlTriesenberg can be reached by car or easily with the public bus, leaving downtown Vaduz.Most other museums in Liechteinstein are located in Vaduz, see more tips on my page there.

the Castle of Vaduz

by woef

the Castle of Vaduz. The castle was built in the 12th century and is the residence of one of the oldest royal families. In 1699, Prince Johann Adam Adreas purchased the lands of Schellenberg, in 1712 he acquired the County of Vaduz, and in 1719 the estates were elevated to the Imperial Principality of Liechtenstein. Only since 1938 has the Princely Family resided in Vaduz Castle in Liechtenstein. The Castle cannot be visited, but guided tours in Vaduz offer interesting insights into the history of the castle and the Princely Family.
