The Liechtenstein Center and Malbun Center, the country's tourist offices

Liechtenstein’s tourist office isn’t a desk tucked away in a town hall. It’s the Liechtenstein Center, right on the pedestrian street in Vaduz, and it does a bit of everything, from information and souvenirs to passport stamps and bike hire. Here’s what you can sort out there and what you can’t.

Where to find the Liechtenstein Center

It’s at number 39 on the Städtle, the car-free street through the centre, in the same stretch as the museums. The tourist board calls it the visitor centre for Vaduz and says its staff are on hand seven days a week. What I couldn’t pin down is the exact opening time each day, because the website loads it in a way that doesn’t show up in the archived copy. If you’re arriving first thing or late in the afternoon, I’d ring +423 239 63 63 first.

A warning if you’re searching for the address. The footer of the tourist board’s website gives Äulestrasse 30, which is the office of Liechtenstein Marketing, the body behind the tourist board. The Center that’s open to the public is at Städtle 39, so that’s the one to put in your maps app.

What you can get done there

First, information. There are free maps and brochures and staff who’ll suggest what to do around the country, which is genuinely useful on a first visit because buses and mountain seasons change a great deal from month to month.

Second, shopping. It sells regional produce, specialities, souvenirs, postcards and postage stamps, and makes up gift hampers to order. If you want another option, the tourist board also points to the Hoi-Laden, a small souvenir boutique in central Vaduz. My pick of what to buy is in shopping and souvenirs in Liechtenstein.

Third, bikes. From spring to autumn it rents out e-bikes and a special bike for people with reduced mobility, which I think is a thoughtful touch. With the All Inclusive Adventure Pass a half day costs CHF 10 less. If you’d rather use the shared LIEbikes, the options are in bike hire in Liechtenstein.

Can you still get the passport stamp?

Yes, and it’s what most visitors come in for. The Center stamps your passport with a decorative souvenir design for CHF 3 or €3.30, or free with the All Inclusive pass. It isn’t a border stamp, since Liechtenstein is part of Schengen. The pass’s own page also lists the Malbun Center for the stamp, but the only current listing I’ve seen with a price is the Vaduz one, so I’d go there to be safe. The full story is in the Liechtenstein passport stamp.

The Malbun Center, up in the mountains

In the mountains, the information point is the Malbun Center, which the tourist board describes as the visitor centre for Liechtenstein’s mountain area. It’s worth calling in if you’re walking from Malbun or skiing, since that’s where you’ll get the best steer on the season and the paths. What the village is like and how to get there by bus from Vaduz is covered in Malbun.

What the counter can’t sort out

It’s worth knowing where not to go, too. Bus tickets aren’t sold at the Center. You pay on board by contactless card, since LIEmobil takes no cash, or at LIEmobil’s office on Postplatz 5 in Schaan, open on working days with a lunch break. Citytrain tickets are sold at the coach terminal by Vaduz town hall, from a counter it shares with Liechtenstein Marketing.

And some things nobody can sell you. Vaduz Castle isn’t open to visitors because it’s the prince’s home, and guided tours of the parliament building are requested by email from the Landtag itself, outside sitting days. Better to know that before you queue. Walking tours of Vaduz are booked through the Center for groups at a flat price, and the options sit side by side on guided tours and walking tours in Vaduz.

A couple of other things handled here

Two details I find useful. If you walk the Liechtenstein Trail, the route of about 75 km through every municipality, you collect your completion certificate at the Liechtenstein Center. And if you’re skiing in Malbun, the 2026-27 season pass presale also runs from there, from 14 November to 4 December, 11:00 to 17:00.

So my advice is simple. Start your day in Vaduz at the Center, leave with the map, the stamp and your return bus checked, then head for the museums. Short on time? My plan for a full day is in Liechtenstein in a day.
