Vaduz: Places to See and Things to do
The Principality of Liechtenstein is a small alpine country surrounded by serene, mountainous villages, and Vaduz (its capital) is where all the tourism action concocts. Vaduz is not only the capital of Liechtenstein but also a historic 12th-century city with roots tracing to the times of Faduzes manuscripts. During my brief stay in Liechtenstein, I stumbled upon some of the best things: Europe’s fourth-smallest country has to offer. Dwelling beside the gentle Rhine River, Vaduz is a city best explored by its signature tram train.
This dainty red tram operates on the scenic tracks of Liechtenstein between 1 pm to 4.30 pm every day, with each journey lasting forty minutes. Throw in a few ancient landmarks, and that’s wraps up Vaduz for you. Here are the things I did and enjoyed. (Hope you do too!)

Ride the Dotto Muson River 1804
Dotto Muson River 1804 is a city and tourist transport that takes you on a picturesque journey steeped in the tenderness of centuries-old culture and adumbrations of dense leafy trees. The “very European” train, tolerantly propels, through the Monarch owned royal palace and a few other notable landmarks. Throughout, the Dotto Muson River 1804 delivers a guided tour in twenty-nine languages, ensuring every passenger understands the significance of every attraction.
Visit Vaduz Museum, Palace and More
Before getting to Vaduz Museum, I stopped by the local post office and the stamp museum that traces the historical events through some of the oldest European stamps. Quite a place with a unique experience! Likewise, Vaduz Art Museum is famous for safeguarding the most widespread and ancient collections of European art. Vaduz (or Gutenburg) Castle echoes the lifestyle, of the monarch, of the principality and reflects authentic Liechtenstein architecture. Art and architecture aside, Vaduz lets sports enthusiasts indulge in cross-country skiing and hiking throughout the year.
Relish Liechtenstein Cuisine
There’s no better way to explore a country’s culture than to taste its food. As for Liechtenstein (Vaduz in particular), the local vineyards source the finest wines, as they are the most prominent part of the meals in the country. Pair that gratifying wine with local specialities such as Schnitzel, Wurst smoked sausages or Hafalaab. Also, try the poetic Vaduz wine soup and escargots.
