Hotels in Liechtenstein: your guide to where to stay

How much does a hotel in Liechtenstein cost?

The price depends on the standard, the town and the dates. The table shows indicative nightly rates for a double room in Swiss francs, the local currency. Summer is usually the cheapest, February the priciest at the peak of the ski season. Prices are above the European average, as the country borders Switzerland.

Where to stay in Liechtenstein: most popular towns

The country is small, so any base reaches the rest easily. These are the towns travellers choose most often:

• Vaduz. The capital and most popular base, with the castle above the town, museums and the main Städtle pedestrian street.
• Triesenberg (Malbun). The mountain part of the country with the only ski resort, Malbun, a base for skiing in winter and trails in summer.
• Schaan. The largest municipality, right next to Vaduz, well connected, with a hostel and mid-range hotels.
• Schellenberg. A quiet village in the north with guesthouses and views over the Rhine valley.

Nightly rates vary between towns. Here are indicative prices per night for a double room:

What to see in Liechtenstein

Despite its tiny size, the country combines monuments, art and mountains.

• Vaduz Castle. The fortress above the capital, one of the country's symbols, viewable from outside.
• Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein. A contemporary art museum in a black, minimalist cube in central Vaduz.
• Gutenberg Castle in Balzers. A 13th-century stronghold, open for cultural events, with grounds you can walk around.
• Fürstin-Gina Trail. A 12 km route with views over Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein.
• Malbun. A small but charming ski resort, less crowded than those in neighbouring countries.

How much does a trip to Liechtenstein cost

The currency is the Swiss franc (CHF). The country is expensive: a meal for two costs around CHF 80 and daily groceries about CHF 25. ATMs are common and large hotels and restaurants take cards. Many stays include breakfast.

When is the best time to visit Liechtenstein

The country works all year round. In summer it is a base for hiking and cycling, in winter for skiing in Malbun. The highest prices fall in February at the peak of the ski season, while summer, around July, is the cheapest. Spring and autumn are quiet and good for visiting castles without crowds.

Getting to and around Liechtenstein

The country has no airport. The nearest international one is Zürich in Switzerland, about 120 km from Vaduz. Trains stop only in Schaan, on the route between Buchs (Switzerland) and Feldkirch (Austria). The most convenient way in is by bus: line 11 links Sargans with Schaan and Vaduz, line 12 runs from Buchs and line 14 from Feldkirch in Austria. Buses move around the country smoothly, and the short distances mean you can walk or cycle parts of the way.
