Our top 5 things to do in Liechtenstein

Marvel at the Alpine Peaks and Valleys

Get ready for postcard-perfect mountain views wherever you look. Hike through Liechtenstein’s Alpine wilderness or admire the Rhine Valley from Vaduz. Every step reveals another breathtaking panorama, the kind that makes you stop and say, “Wow, this is real life.”

Visit Vaduz Castle

Perched high above the capital, Vaduz Castle is the symbol of Liechtenstein. Though it’s not open to the public (it’s still home to the royal family), you can visit nearby viewpoints for panoramic views of the castle, the capital, and the snow-capped Alps.

Hike the Princes’ Way

This iconic trail begins at Alp Gaflei, 1,400 meters above sea level, and rewards hikers with spectacular views of the Three Sisters mountains. Whether you’re a casual walker or an adventure seeker, the Princes’ Way promises “pinch-me” moments at every turn.

Go Skiing in Malbun

In winter, Malbun transforms into a cozy ski paradise with 14 miles of snow-covered slopes. Whether you’re skiing, tobogganing, or simply sipping hot chocolate in a chalet, Malbun offers that perfect “Alps in miniature” experience, no crowds, all charm.

Snap a Photo at the Red House

Built in 1338, the Red House in Vaduz is hard to miss — a striking medieval home surrounded by lush vineyards and mountain views. It’s one of the most photogenic spots in the country, especially at sunset.

Best museums in Liechtenstein

Vaduz

Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein

A sleek, modern art museum showcasing international contemporary art. The building itself — a cube of hand-carved stone and glass — is as stunning as the exhibits inside.

Vaduz

Liechtenstein National Museum

Located in a 15th-century former inn, this museum tells the story of Liechtenstein’s rich history, culture, and nature. See everything from medieval artifacts to detailed models of the entire country.

Schaan

Calculator and Typewriter Museum

Quirky and unexpectedly fascinating, this museum celebrates 150 years of innovation, featuring over 250 calculators and typewriters, including the world’s smallest calculator, made right here in Liechtenstein.

Best food in Liechtenstein

Hafalaab

A hearty local soup made with smoked bacon or ham, wheat flour, and cornmeal dumplings, perfect after a chilly mountain hike.

Käseknöpfle

Liechtenstein’s version of mac and cheese! These cheesy dumplings topped with caramelized onions are a national favorite, and every family has its own secret recipe.

Schnitzel

Crispy, golden perfection. Made from breaded pork or veal cutlets and served with käseknöpfle or applesauce, it’s comfort food at its best.

What to pack for a tour in Liechtenstein

What to Pack

Currency: Swiss Francs (CHF)

Liechtenstein uses the Swiss franc, so swap your euros for francs before you go. Most places accept cards, but it’s smart to carry a bit of cash.

German Phrasebook

German is the official language, so a few polite phrases go a long way. Or, simply download Google Translate offline for quick help.

Camera

Every corner of Liechtenstein is Instagram-worthy — from mountain trails to castle views. You’ll want proof of this fairytale come to life.

Power Adapter

Liechtenstein uses 230V power outlets with Type J (three-round-pin) and Type C (two-pin) plugs — the same as Switzerland.

Comfortable Walking Shoes

This country was made for walking. Whether you're exploring Vaduz’s cobblestone streets or mountain paths, sturdy, comfy shoes are a must.

Pack for Sustainable Travel

Help keep the Alps pristine by going plastic-free — bring a reusable water bottle, steel straw, and refillable toiletry containers.

Other things to know before you go

Depending on your nationality, you may need a visa to enter Liechtenstein. Check entry requirements well in advance and ensure your passport is valid for at least 3–6 months beyond your travel dates.
