Liechtenstein

A small country that rewards a slow day: Vaduz, its castle, the cathedral and wide Alpine views across the Rhine Valley.

Vaduz

The capital is compact and easy to explore at an unhurried pace, with the cathedral, local streets and mountain backdrop all close together.

Vaduz Castle

Above the town, the castle gives the guide its signature view: rooftops, valley floor and the mountains lining the horizon.

Why go

Liechtenstein is a beautiful detour for Alpine scenery, a quiet capital and a very different pace from the larger cities around it.
