Vaduz, Capital city in Rhine Valley, Liechtenstein
Vaduz stands at 455 meters above sea level, surrounded by the Alps and positioned along the eastern bank of the Rhine River.
The settlement, first documented in 1150, transformed from a medieval fortress site into the capital of the Principality of Liechtenstein in 1719.
The Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein presents contemporary art exhibitions in a black cube building, while the National Museum details the principality's development through artifacts.
Visitors reach Vaduz via regular bus connections from Buchs railway station in Switzerland, as the principality does not operate its own train system.
The Liechtenstein Center provides passport stamps for tourists, although the country ceased regular border controls after joining the Schengen Area.
