The tiny capital of Liechtenstein packs impressive sightseeing into a compact area. The most efficient way to explore Vaduz is through its City Train Tour, which hits all major spots in under an hour – perfect for first-timers. I especially love the private walking tours through the Städtle district; guides share fascinating stories about the princely family and medieval history that you won’t find in guidebooks.
For those with extra time, the combo tours connecting Vaduz with nearby Heidiland offer great value, mixing urban and rural Swiss-Liechtenstein highlights. The Zurich day trips work well for travelers based in Switzerland who want to check off this miniature principality.
These are our favorite tours in Vaduz, ranked from simple strolls to full-day adventures.

While the audio guide is available in 7 languages, some reviewers found the computer-generated voice less engaging.
The tour is suitable for all ages and is stroller accessible, but not wheelchair friendly.
