Things to do in Vaduz: your personal ixpiritour through the capital of Liechtenstein
🕵️ The Story
Welcome to one of Europe's smallest capital cities! In Vaduz, where the Prince's castle majestically overlooks the city, history and modernity intertwine at every turn. But behind the pristine facades of the government quarter and the vines of the princely vineyards, stories await their discovery.
Why is there an "English building" right in the middle of Vaduz? What secret does St Florin's Cathedral hold? And who exactly was the famous composer who was born in the Rheinberger House? As you make your way through the city, you'll not only become a history buff but also gain language expertise: a short, fun language course will introduce you to the charming peculiarities of the Liechtenstein dialect.
Embark on a journey of discovery, from the city's religious centre to the ultramodern art museum and the picturesque Red House. Solve tricky puzzles, enjoy the view from the Känzli, and find out what makes the Principality so unique!

ixpirity - Tips
A princely drop in the wine press 🍷
The tour takes you past the princely vineyard. A visit to the Prince of Liechtenstein's wine cellar is a must! In the wine shop, sample one of the fine wines that grow directly on the hillside below the castle. There's hardly a better souvenir from Vaduz.
Käsknöpfle love 🧀😋
If you get hungry after the tour, find a cozy restaurant (like the "Löwen") and order Liechtensteiner Käsknöpfle with applesauce. It's the national dish and the ultimate reward after a successful puzzle hunt!
Stamp paradise 📮
Liechtenstein is world-famous for its postage stamps. Even if you're not a collector, a visit to the Postal Museum in the town center is worthwhile. These small works of art tell the entire history of the country in just a few square centimeters.
The lock check 🏰📸
From Känzli you have a fantastic view, but if you have another 15 minutes after your tour, take the short walk up to Vaduz Castle. You can only view it from the outside (since the Prince lives there), but it's the perfect spot for a souvenir photo!
