Vaduz Attractions
Besides the Prince’s Castle, nestled between Stadtle and Ohlestrasse and visible from anywhere in the city, Vaduz offers many other attractions. The highlights include the Cathedral of St. Florin, built in the Neo-Gothic style between 1868 and 1873, the government building, and the city hall, which illustrate the city’s diverse architecture throughout its history.

The capital’s main street, Städtle, forms a semicircle around the mountain housing the Prince’s Castle and is the center of life in Vaduz. The city hall, the Bank of Liechtenstein building, as well as corporate buildings, museums, and shops are concentrated here. In the very center of town stands a three-story building bearing a blue flag with a red and gold crown, which serves as the seat of all Liechtenstein government institutions.

The Vaduz post office attracts philatelists from all over the world. Several times a year, Liechtenstein Post issues 6-7 new, extremely rare stamps, which are mostly available to subscribers. The sale of these stamps accounts for a significant portion of the principality’s income.

Also worth visiting is the “Old Town,” home to a Gothic chapel and the historic Gasthof Löwen inn, founded in 1388. And, of course, don’t miss the opportunity to visit the Vaduz Winery, renowned not only for its wines but also for the architecture of its buildings. This visit is a must for all connoisseurs of wine and architectural masterpieces.

In Vaduz, you can enjoy a wealth of cultural attractions, including the National Gallery, the National Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art, also known as the Liechtenstein Art Museum. In addition, the city offers a Postage Stamp Museum and a Ski Museum.
