"At just over 60 square miles, Liechtenstein packs in charming villages, family castles, palatial residences, verdant countryside and hospitable Liechtensteiners, who make it a pleasure to explore"

James, Travel Director

Take in the valleys and lofty peaks of Liechtenstein

We’ll take you on a journey through Liechtenstein’s breathtaking Alpine wilderness, where towering mountains give way to the valleys of the Rhine. Venture out on one of the many mountain hiking trails around the country, or take it all in from the city of Vaduz.
View Vaduz Castle in Liechtenstein's tiny capital town

Perched atop a hill in the city, Vaduz Castle is the star of any Liechtenstein travel experience. With its large walls and towers, the palace of the Prince of Liechtenstein is visible from almost any location in Vaduz. Set against majestic mountains, we’ll take you to see the panoramic views of the countryside.
Hike along the Princes’ Way

One of the most famous mountain hikes in Liechtenstein, the Princes’ Way begins from Alp Gaflei at 1,400 meters above sea level. The trail offers plenty of ‘pinch me moments’, with spellbinding views over the Three Sisters mountains. You’ll move through the mountains past Alpe Gafadura, before arriving back in Gaflei.
Go skiing in Malbun

An idyllic winter ski resort, Malbun is one of the top Liechtenstein tourist attractions. Set in the Saminatal Valley with snow-sure slopes, Malbun offers 14 miles of pistes to suit everyone from beginners to experts. You can also go on beautiful winter hikes, a cross-country skiing trail or a thrilling toboggan run down the mountains.
Visit the Red House in Vaduz

With its bright red cladding and medieval gabled stairs structure, the Red House is one of the most striking Liechtenstein attractions. Built on a hill in 1338, the house can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. Surrounded by one of the largest vineyards in Vaduz, this one of the most picture perfect spots in the country.

What to pack for Liechtenstein

Swiss francs

Joined in a monetary union with neighbouring Switzerland, Liechtenstein has used Swiss francs since 1920, so you’ll swap your euros for francs while visiting the country.

German phrasebook

German is the official language of Liechtenstein, so pack a phrasebook to help you learn a few words. If you can’t spare the space, download them to your Google Translate app offline.

Camera

With an extraordinary landscape of Alpine wilderness and fairytale castles, Liechtenstein is a wonderfully photogenic country.

An adaptor plug

Voltage in Liechtenstein is 230V and the sockets are of Type J with three round pins and Type C, with standard European 2-pin plugs.

Comfortable shoes

With some of Europe’s best hiking trails, and an area so small you can walk the length of the country in a day, a sturdy pair of walking shoes are essential in Liechtenstein.

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and toiletry bottles.
