The Very Best Things To See and Do in Liechtenstein....!!!!
1.The Culinary Tour Vaduz - The Vaduz Culinary Tour or Food Trail is a wonderful experience offering you the chance to taste the authentic flavours of Liechtenstein whilst at the same time exploring the city. Not only do you discover great places to eat and drink, you get to sample their specialities and do a fair amount of exploring, really getting to see the local area.
The tour takes you to various local eateries and each stop introduces you to a local speciality or food. It’s a perfect blend of sightseeing and gastronomy and perfect for food lovers and explorers alike. On our Culinary Tour we visited Café Balou, the Hofkellerei (see number 3), Ospelt Gourmet Food Market, Demmel Coffee Roasters and we also visited a Farm shop or Hofladen. It was great fun and suitable for all ages from young children upwards – so a perfect family activity. It’s a good test for your German too (!) as all the information and questions are provided in German. However, you can always use Google Translate and there are usually a lot of native English speakers on the tour! If you really get stuck, there is a “cheat sheet” you can access via by scanning the QR code! It’s self paced so it takes around 3 – 4 hours depending on how long you spend at each stop. You can find details and prices of the Culinary Tour at the Liechtenstein Information Center or here.
2. Enjoy A Wine Tasting at the Hofkellerei- The Hofkellerei, or the Prince’s Wine Cellar, offers an insight into Liechtenstein’s rich wine heritage. Set amidst beautiful vineyards, you can visit the cellars and sample exquisite wines. The staff are full of expertise and knowledge and can guide you through their wine selection based on your preferences. And because Liechtenstein wines are so rare, we ended up buying some to take back to friends in Zurich!
3. Hop on the City Train in Vaduz
The City Train offers a delightful and leisurely way to explore Vaduz’s picturesque streets and landmarks. You get a set of headphones you can plug in to the device in the train and you choose your language so that you can listen to the informative commentary along the way. The train runs from 1st April-15th October at 1pm and 4.30pm and you can find more details here.As well as the City Tour there are a number of different themed tours available too.
The journey starts in the centre of Vaduz at the bus station near the Post and lasts about 30 – 35 minutes. It’s a great way of learning some key information about the history of the city and ensuring you haven’t miss out on any of the city’s historical and cultural gems. It’s also perfect for families and children – after all who doesn’t like to ride in one of these fun trains?
4. Admire the Sculptures in the Town Centre - Art and history come together all over Vaduz. The town centre is adorned with stunning sculptures, each echoing stories of Liechtenstein cultural heritage. From modern installations to historical statues, there are art pieces to appeal to every taste. The sculptures are right in the centre of the city, mostly in the pedestrian area, so you can easily take a leisurely “Sculpture Walk” and see them all. I think my favourite had to be this rather relaxed lady, with the castle of Vaduz looking down right over her.
5. Experience the Sareis Gourmet Chairlift - Why not take the “gourmet chairlift” high above Vaduz and enjoy stunning views over the city and beyond. You take the bus 21 to Malbun and there you can take the Chairlift right up to the top which scenic panoramic views all the way. As well as great views of the city you can also see the surrounding Alps. The price includes as many rides on the Sareis mountain railway as you need to finish everything – or until the cable car closes for the day. You can reserve the Sareis Gourmet Chairlift until 5 pm the day before at the Sareis mountain restaurant Tel. +423 263 46 86 or at the Malbun mountain railways Tel. +423 265 40 00. The Classic Package costs CHF 39 per person and the Gourmet Package costs CHF 45 per person. You can stay on the ride until you have finished your meal. Alternatively, simply take the chair lift to the top and there is a lovely restaurant where you can try some of the local mountain specialities – and maybe afterwards go for a hike.
8. Check Out the Museums in Vaduz- There are quite a few museums to explore in Vaduz, including the Art Museum or “Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein”, the Liechtenstein Postal Museum (which is free)
