About this guide

Explore Vaduz, the charming capital of Liechtenstein. This compact city guide takes you through the historic center, past the iconic Vaduz Castle perched on the hillside, through the modern government quarter, and along the scenic Rhine river promenade.


Despite being one of Europe's smallest capitals, Vaduz offers a rich blend of culture, history, and alpine charm. Visit the Kunstmuseum (Art Museum), explore the pedestrian-friendly shopping district, and enjoy traditional Liechtensteiner cuisine in cozy restaurants.


Perfect for a half-day exploration, this guide includes all major landmarks, hidden local spots, and practical tips for getting around this alpine microstate's capital.
