Vaduz is the capital of Liechtenstein, reachable in 25 minutes by Bus 11 from Feldkirch in Vorarlberg. The visit justifies half a day: the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein holds a serious modern and contemporary art collection; the castle above the town is the actual residence of the Princely Family and photogenic from below but closed to visitors; the tourist office on the Städtle stamps passports as a souvenir. No border controls, Swiss francs or euros accepted. Combine with Feldkirch or Bregenz for a Vorarlberg and Rhine valley circuit. The combination of “visit a sovereign nation” and a genuinely good art museum in a 2-hour stop is rare anywhere.

Vaduz
Vaduz is the capital of Liechtenstein, a sovereign state, which means a 25-minute bus ride from Feldkirch adds a country to your itinerary. The Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein holds one of the most significant collections of modern and contemporary art in the German-speaking world, which is a surprise for a town of 5,000 people.
