Is Vaduz good for solo travel?
Safety:Very safe
Vaduz in Liechtenstein is noted for its high safety standards. The crime rate is very low and incidents of pickpocketing or harassment are also minimal. The people are courteous and willing to help visitors. Public spaces are well-lit and monitored, so solo female travelers can feel secure in exploring both during day and night.
Transport:Easy
Vaduz is a relatively small capital, therefore, distance between attractions is not a problem. However, the hilly terrain may be a little challenging for some. Despite this, the city offers various ways of getting around including walking, cycling and bus services that are generally reliable, clean and safe. Also, the locals are friendly and most speak English, making it easier to ask for directions if needed.
Things to do:Moderate
Vaduz provides a moderate level of interest for travelers. It is home to the stunning Vaduz Castle, which is a must-see, standing atop a hill overlooking the city. Furthermore, there are several museums such as the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein and the Liechtensteinisches Landesmuseum worth visiting for an understanding of local art, history and culture. Beside this, Vaduz offers a beautiful setting with marvelous views of the mountains, and pleasant pedestrian paths for casual walks and relaxing. Nonetheless, the city's small size might limit the number of activities available for the more active adventurers.
Food:Above average
The culinary scenario in Vaduz certainly caters to a varied palate. You'll stumble across a wide range of cuisines from local Liechtensteiner specials like Käsknöpfle to different international cuisines. Locally sourced ingredients and beautifully presented dishes make up for what it lacks in numbers. Street food joints, cafes, and dessert parlours too add to the diversity. Vegetarian and vegan options are available but somewhat limited.
Budget:Moderate
Vaduz can be somewhat budget-friendly for the crafty solo female traveler. Accommodation is slightly costly but not excessively so, and food expenses can range from budget to moderate prices. Touristic locations in Liechtenstein, such as museums, art galleries, and wine tasting, have a variety of prices depending on your interests. However, hikers can enjoy the mountain views for free, as well as strolling around the city which boasts many sculptures and art installations. The public transportation is efficient and reasonably priced, making it easier to explore the city and the countryside.
