Exploring Liechtenstein

If you would like to explore Liechtenstein a bit, you can also do that by bus. You can find a lot of information and tips on tourismus.li/en.

The most well-known sight is the Vaduz Castle. It's the residence of the Liechtenstein Royal family. While it cannot be visited, it can be seen from the main village of Vaduz.

The village of Malbun is located 1600 meters above sea level. In the summer it is a great place for hiking and escaping the heat. In the winter it is a ski region with multiple ski lifts.

If you would like to cool down, there is a small swimming lake in Gamprin, called Grossabünt. It's a 20min walk from hotel bsmart and a 10-13min bus ride from hotel kommod.
