Why Vaduz matters
Vaduz is a capital you can walk end to end in minutes. A pedestrian main street runs past museums, shops and sculptures, and above it all a princely castle perches on a cliff. It is a quiet, tidy, slightly surreal place, ideal for a short stop between Swiss and Austrian destinations. Walk up to the castle for the view over the Rhine valley.
Talking points
- Compact enough to see in an afternoon
- The main street is dotted with outdoor sculptures
- The castle overlooks the town from a cliff
- Public transport runs by bus rather than train
