Castle Vaduz
Towering high above Vaduz, the castle can be seen from
far away and draws the eye. Like a fairy tale. Majestic. Unapproachable.
Close enough to reach out and touch. The residence of the Princely Family
is the landmark of our country. After all, how many castles are there
today in which a real prince still lives?
Castle Vaduz is, first and foremost, the residence of
the Princely Family. It isn’t mere coincidence that the Princely
Family is never talked about in the tabloids. Their private sphere is
keenly guarded, and that’s mainly why the Castle is not open to
the public. The view from the castle is also always a view of Liechtenstein’s
past and present.
National Holiday
The National Holiday on August 15th vividly conveys the
closeness between the local people and their guests. This public festival,
set in a simply splendid panorama, ends with a grand fireworks display
of joy.
