You step onto a narrow street where granite facades meet sharp alpine light, and Vaduz unfolds like a compact map of power and place. The guide leads you past low-traffic lanes, the National Library’s restrained façade, and the steepled silhouette of St. Florin’s Cathedral, all under the watch of the hill where Vaduz Castle looms—visible but private, its stone body keeping a quiet presence above the town.
