The capital and home of the Prince of Liechtenstein, Vaduz has a car-free center, allowing tourists the freedom to walk around freely, appreciating some of the many surviving medieval, Gothic, and Baroque structures. Older buildings stand next to more recent structures, like the black basalt cube that showcases the contemporary and modern art collection of the Liechtenstein Museum of Fine Arts. Vaduz Castle, the home of the royal family, overlooks the city from the hills that surround the city.

The Government House of Liechtenstein is located near the entrance to the Pedestrian Mall. It has a unique architecture and worth visiting. Certainly would very highly recommend visiting same, while in Vaduz.

Visible from far and wide yet so close you could almost touch it, the emblem of Liechtenstein towers over Vaduz on a rock terrace which can be reached along a romantic footpath. The castle was first built some 700 years ago. Since 1712 it has been in the possession of the Prince of Liechtenstein. Furthermore, since 1938 it has been the residence of the prince’s family, so it is not open to the public. The 12th century keep and the structures on the east side are the oldest parts of the castle.
Vaduz Castle or Schloss Vaduz sits high above rhe capital city Vaduz. The Prince of Liechtenstein and his family occupy the castle as it is there official residence so therefore it is closed to the public. You are able to walk up to the castle winding your way thru the castle gardens. Warning, it is a steep and arduous climb. On National Day when we were there, we say many many people making there way up to the castle. Best direction is to the left of Brasserie Burg. You will see a paved walkway leading up the hill (mountain). The tourist book says it is 120 meters (395 ft.) above Vaduz. So let that be your guide and deciding factor.

Discover Liechtenstein at a glance. The Liechtenstein Center gives you the unique and free opportunity to get a comprehensive picture of the diversity of this small state using state-of-the-art multimedia technology and fascinating film footage. The Liechtenstein Center is also the official tourist office in Vaduz, where you can purchase the unique Liechtenstein stamps and exclusive Liechtenstein souvenirs in the integrated shop.
As soon as I arrived in Vaduz, I went straight to the Liechtenstein Center and I'm so glad I did! The staff were very nice and helpful and they recommended that I buy the Liechtenstein Adventure Pass which was a great idea -- free rides on the LIEMobile bus system all over the country (and all the way to Feldkirch, Austria and Sargans, Switzerland), plus free entrances to all the museums (and a gift at the Postal Museum), a free magnet in one of the souvenir shops, you get your passport stamped (normally it's CHF3) and other good stuff. They were also very helpful in finding directions, sorting out bus schedules and setting up the free wifi in town (I need a phone number but didn't have one, so she let me use hers). Very helpful place to start visiting this beautiful country!

Pretty inside and out, and very peaceful inside. A nice place to relax and admire some lovely stained glass windows, and/or do your religious thing if that suits you too. There's free parking out front up to one hour, otherwise it's paid.

A nice walk around the square is a good start for your visit in Vaduz. Follow the "gold bars" and you will find yourself in the middle of the city, surrounded by art.
