Vaduz, capital of the Principality of Liechtenstein
Next stop on our 2015 Europe Trip after Luzern, was Liechtenstein. The Principality of Liechtenstein is a tiny independent country ruled by a Prince, wedged between Switzerland and Austria. I have no time to write about this interesting little principality, so just Google it willya?
There’s not much in Liechtenstein in terms of landmarks, (unless you have time to do a little hiking – it’s in the Alps after all, where hill trails and castles are common!) But how could we give it a miss when we were already so close! So, here we are!
Vaduz Cathedral, Liechtenstein
Here’re a couple of Liechtensteiner castles: -
Schloss Vaduz (Vaduz Castle), which gave Liechtenstein’s capital its name – it’s still the private residence of the Ruler (Prince) of Liechtenstein, and is not open for tourists
Gutenberg Castle, Balzers, Liechtenstein
We entered Liechtenstein from Balzers in the south, drove northwards to Vaduz the capital, spent some time there and exited through Schaan, the largest town in Liechtenstein, north of Vaduz. And that’s it, our tour of Liechtenstein in an hour! And another country off my bucket list to visit, hehe!
