2. Vaduz Castle

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.

The Postage Stamp Museum (Briefmarkenmuseum) is very popular with most visitors to Liechtenstein, since these small works of art travel the whole world and are in everybody's mailbox daily. Rare stamps from Liechtenstein, historical documents, devices, historical postal service equipment and special exhibits are presented in the museum.

I went with my family to Liechtenstein for a day trip. I really wanted to go there for a long time especially to the Postal Museum. And so I’ve managed to go. The Museum is not far from the bus station, the building is centrally located. The building is not only the postal museum but has all an Art exhibition space. It doesn’t cost anything to visit the museum (free admission). The exhibition on one floor and is very interesting for philatelists. At the entrance is the museum shop you can buy yearly stamp collections starting from 1940 but the price can be high. You can even buy rare stamps that cost about 1800 or even higher. There are other Philatelic items like FDC,Year Album etc. The exhibition started with the model of the post carriage showing the route it taken and different lights plus trumpets. Next to that you can sit on a stool and check on a big screen all the stamps that Liechtenstein issued, history of the post office, history about stamps and knowledge etc. Afterwards there is a corridor on the one side the different subjects issued by Liechtenstein on the other side there were pull out glass display boards where all the stamps of Liechtenstein and subjects like sport, royal family etc. A other main subject of the museum was space travel of the Russian and Chinese. Mostly FDC signed by the astronauts and a lot of information. To my mind the museum was very interesting and fascinating ,,I loved it!! Worth a trip for philatelist and who are interested in stamps.

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.

We made a day trip to Vaduz from Zurich to check off another country. After walking the small town center of Vaduz which took all of 20 minutes, we walked about 15 - 20 minutes to see the bridge. It is pretty cool since you can walk inside the bridge and there is a sign for Liechtenstein and Schweiz (Switzerland). If you are in Vaduz anyway, it is worth the small effort.

This plaque and memorial is for Josef Rheinberger. He was born in Leichtenstein and became an organist and composer living most of his life in Germany after attending Munich Conservatorium. Due to his remarkable talent, he was admitted at just 12 years of age. It is appropriate that it is in this area as the Music hall is just up behind the Cathedral of St. Florin.
