Sightseeing in Liechtenstein
Including Vaduz Castle. On the map.
The vibe
The alpine setting turns every turn into a postcard, with castles perched above valleys and museums tucked into historic streets. Late spring through early autumn offers the clearest light and lush scenery. Day‑trippers keep the pace lively, yet the streets stay roomy enough for a leisurely wander.

Perched high above the capital, this 12th-century fortress serves as the official residence of the Prince of Liechtenstein. While the interior is private, the exterior offers a quintessential alpine landmark experience with panoramic views of the Rhine Valley.
Access. Accessible via a scenic 20-minute uphill walking path from the center of Vaduz or by local bus.
Notes. The castle is not open to the public; visitors enjoy the grounds and the iconic views from the exterior.
