Vaduz

The people of Liechtenstein call their main town “Staedtle” or “Little Town” and their country “Laendle” or “Little Country”.

Considering the country’s geographic size, these diminutives are apt, but not at all, so if one thinks of the history and importance of Vaduz as a financial centre. For centuries, culinary specialties have been enjoyed in the Old Town at the Loewen Inn, which has existed since 1380. The Liechtenstein Art Museum (Kunstmuseum) houses one of Europe’s oldest private collections in a modern, prize-winning museum building. The Regional Museum showcases the history of the principality, and a visit to the Stamp Museum is a must for every philatelist. Castle Vaduz is the emblem of Liechtenstein and the royal family’s residence.
