Discover Vaduz: Small town, big experiences!

Small but mighty – why Vaduz is worth a visit

Vaduz may seem small at first glance – but that's precisely what makes this capital city so charming! With fewer than 6,000 inhabitants, Vaduz is one of the smallest capital cities in Europe. Did you know that only Vatican City, with around 800 inhabitants, and San Marino, with around 4,000 inhabitants, are smaller than Vaduz?

But anyone who thinks there's little to experience here is sorely mistaken. In Vaduz, you'll find culture, art, history, and nature all within a compact area – combined with the relaxed atmosphere of an often underestimated Alpine nation.

Whether as a day trip, weekend getaway or stopover: Vaduz is perfect for anyone who wants to travel in a relaxed but not boring way .
