Description

Explore Riga, the "Paris of the Baltic," founded in 1201. Immerse in its rich history, Old Town charm, vibrant nightlife, and iconic landmarks like the Dome Cathedral and Art Nouveau houses.
The capital of Liechtenstein lies along the shores of the Rhine River and has only a bit less than 6 thousand residents. Its history is carved into every building, for it is the last remainder of the Holy Roman Empire. Originally called “Faduzes”, its name denounces its Latin origin of “aquaeductus”, or aqueduct. Being a mountain enclave between trade routes, it has been a sought-after territory. The secluded mountainside castle was built at the height of the Middle Ages, towering since then over the city as the main residence of the prince of Liechtenstein and the remaining ruling family.
Explore the city centre of the city and learn all about its famous sculptures made by many international artists. Discover the government building and the impressive Parliament building next to it. Get acquainted with the neo-gothic cathedral, small in size but big in importance. It has actually only been considered a cathedral since 1997! Walk through “das Städtle”, the busiest part of the city, a pedestrian-exclusive area bustling with life. Discover the particularities of the Liechtensteiner government, a constitutional hereditary monarchy, and find out all about the Princely Family, and about daily life in one of Europe’s smallest countries.
