The Principality of Liechtenstein  is a small alpine German-speaking country doubly landlocked by Switzerland and Austria. It is the last remnant of the Holy Roman Empire and is an independent state with very close ties to Switzerland. It enjoys a very high standard of living and is home to some incredibly beautiful mountain scenery. The principality's capital, Vaduz is a major center of commerce and international banking and mainly a modern city.

If you look up above the town of Vaduz you may catch a glimpse of Schloss Vaduz - the Castle. The oldest parts of the castle date back to the 12th century. The Castle is still the official residence of the Prince of Liechtenstein and is unfortunately closed to visitors. 
Although you can't get into the castle grounds it is still recommended to walk up to the castle as from here there are fabulous views across the country.
