About Städtle and the Government Quarter

The Städtle, the pedestrian main street of Vaduz, with museums and shops, leading to the parliament and government buildings of one of Europe's smallest states.

The street runs from the town hall to Peter-Kaiser-Platz, where the Government Building of 1905 and the parliament building of 2008 stand side by side, with the castle on the hill above.

Liechtenstein is a constitutional monarchy with strong direct democracy: a 25-member parliament, a government chosen by it and appointed by the prince, and referendums. The street is open at all times; on National Day, 15 August, it hosts a festival.

Did you know? The Government Building of Vaduz was built in 1903-1905 for Prince Johann II and had the first telephone network and central heating in Liechtenstein.
