With 160 square kilometers, the Principality of Liechtenstein is one of the smallest countries in Europe. The princely residence sits enthroned high above the small town of Vaduz, the capital with a good 5,000 inhabitants. The medieval castle was expanded in the 16th and 17th centuries. The locals call Vaduz “the little town”, one that is worth visiting.

Vaduz is the capital of the Principality of Liechtenstein, the seat of the authorities and the state parliament, and a princely residence since 1939. It was first mentioned in a document in 1150. The county of Vaduz, which encompasses the main part of today's principality, arose from the old court district of Vaduz in 1342 through the division of the Sargans- Werdenberg estates.
Vaduz Castle, which was built around 1300, was ruled by the Counts of Werdenberg zu Vaduz, the Barons of Brandis from Emmental, the Counts of Sulz from Klettgau in Baden and the Counts of Hohenems from Vorarlberg. In 1592 Vaduz was granted market rights by Emperor Rudolf II.
In 1712 Prince Johann Adam von Liechtenstein acquired the County of Vaduz and seven years later Emperor Charles VI united it. with the rule of Schellenberg and raised the area to the imperial principality. Vaduz became the capital and Vaduz Castle has been the permanent residence of the Princes of Liechtenstein since 1939.
The Principality of Liechtenstein is an independent country in the Alps between Switzerland and Austria and covers an area of 160 km2. Vaduz is located on the east bank of the Rhine, at the foot of the Three Sisters massif. The former farming village, which was known for its excellent wine, has become a busy residential town with banks, commercial buildings and service providers.

Vaduz, the capital of Liechtenstein, lies on the Rhine River near the Swiss border. Perched on a hill overlooking the city, the 12th-century Vaduz Castle is a royal family residence. In the pedestrian-friendly town center, called Städtle, lies the Liechtenstein Art Museum, with its polished facade and modern art exhibits. Nearby, the National Museum, housed in a medieval building, houses archaeological and cultural artifacts.
