getting there
By plane
By train
Vaduz is on the railway line Feldkirch - Buchs SG railway line, which leads from Buchs via Schaan-Vaduz, Forst Hilti, Nendeln and Schaanwald to Feldkirch and has four stations in the Principality of Liechtenstein. However, only six passenger trains run in Liechtenstein per day and direction. Railjet, Nightjet and IC trains operated by ÖBB pass through the principality without stopping. As part of the Local transport project S-Bahn-Liechtenstein an expansion to a general 30-minute interval is planned. However, this will only be possible after the line has been continuously expanded to double-track.
