When to go

The warmer months and early autumn are suitable for vineyards and viewpoints. The museums offer a varied programme even in cooler weather.

Things to see and do

Stroll through the car-free Städtle, visit one of the Museum Mile's institutions and discover sculptures in public spaces. The Prince of Liechtenstein Winery provides an additional walk of its own.

Practical tips

Vaduz Castle is an inhabited residence and its interior is not open to the public. Plan to view it from outside and from the surrounding paths; check museum opening hours separately.

Getting there and getting around

Travel by train to Sargans, Buchs SG or Feldkirch, then continue by bus to Vaduz. LIEmobil provides information on connections within the principality.

Where to stay

Accommodation near the Städtle is convenient for museums and evening walks. If your hotel is in another town, check the nearest stop and the last bus.

What to try

Käsknöpfle is a regional classic: small dumplings with cheese and fried onions. It is traditionally served with apple sauce.
