LIECHTENSTEIN TOURISM GUIDE

Experience Trail "Visiting Vaduz with Goethe"
The new experience trail "Visiting Vaduz with Goethe" is an exciting voyage of discovery through art, architecture, culture, history, gastronomy, and wine.

What would a dialogue between the time traveler "Goethe" and the tour guide Anna be like if he were to visit Vaduz today? This is what our guests discover when they accompany the two of them on their exciting tour.
On the way back from his famous "Italian Journey", the universal genius Privy Councillor Johann Wolfgang von Goethe spent the night of 1-2 June 1788 in Vaduz, the capital of Liechtenstein. This visit by the prince of poets is the impetus for the new experience trail "Visiting Vaduz with Goethe". What would happen if Goethe were to visit the Liechtenstein of today one more time?

Accompany Goethe and his competent host Anna on 17 stops throughout the Vaduz of today, and get to know Liechtenstein and its history, its sights, and its uniqueness in a humorous and entertaining way.

Galina Falcon Centre
Galina falconry (Falknerei) is an exciting experience. Never again will you get as close to eagles, falcons, hawks and eagle-owls.

Every day at 3 p.m. (except Mondays) in Malbun, a professional falconer and his birds of prey put on a unique flight show. The majestic raptors and the swift falcons spiral upward into the sky before plunging just above the visitors' heads back onto the hand of the falconer. With speeds of up to 150 km/h (95 mph). Breathtakingly beautiful.
