Liechtenstein has no airport, no army since 1868, and more registered companies than residents. The principality is one of the last surviving fragments of the Holy Roman Empire, a 160-square-kilometre wedge between the Alpine Rhine and the Rätikon massif. Its capital, Vaduz, holds roughly 5,700 people. Zurich lies some 120 kilometres west, which explains why liechtenstein day tour from zurich tours evolved into the standard route for reaching a country that no railway timetable treats as a destination. The border crossing is undramatic. Coaches leave the motorway near Sargans, pass through Heidiland — the Swiss region that took its name from Johanna Spyri's 1881 novel — and enter a valley farmed continuously since the Bronze Age. Vaduz Castle stands about 120 metres above the town on a rock terrace, its keep dating to the twelfth century. It remains the private residence of the princely family and is closed to visitors, which has made the walk beneath its walls a fixture of every Vaduz sightseeing tour. Along it sit the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, a black basalt-and-concrete cube completed in 2000, the neo-Gothic Cathedral of St. The museum occupies a fifteenth-century building that served in turn as an inn, a customs post and the seat of the country's administration. Admission is 10 CHF. Its galleries trace the territory from Roman road stations through the 1719 unification of Schellenberg and Vaduz into a single imperial principality. Wealth arrived late. Until the 1930s this was one of the poorer corners of the Alps, exporting labour and known abroad mainly for its postage stamps. Precision manufacturing and finance changed that within two generations, and the contrast — terraced vineyards beneath glass banking offices — is the detail most travellers carry home from a liechtenstein day tour from zurich tour, alongside the four-country itineraries that pair the principality with the Rhine Falls, Austria and southern Germany.
