Train from Zurich to Liechtenstein (Zurich To Vaduz)

If you want to go from Zurich to Vaduz by train the best way is to combine with the bus. There is a beautiful landscape from Zurich to Liechtenstein. From Zurich HB Main Station you will go to Sargans.

The train ride will last 55 minutes and the train departure is every 30 minutes. The train fare from Zurich to Sargans is 16.50 CHF one way and 33 CHF return ticket. You can book online here.

Once in Sargans you will have to ride Bus Number 11 or 12E passing by Balzers and you can stop in Vaduz Post at the last stop where you can go the walking distance to the tourism office. You will be surprised Vaduz is really small city and everything is walking distance.

Once in Schaan to go to Vaduz you can ride Bus Number 11 and Bus Number 13 going to Balzers. It will take 10 minutes and the prices are 5 CHF for one way. If you have a return ticket show to the bus driver and you will not have to pay for the bus since it’s included.

Zurich to Liechtenstein By Car (Zurich to Vaduz)

I recommend you rent a car from Zurich to Liechtenstein especially if you are two people and even alone you will have more flexibility. I went from Zurich to Liechtenstein by van. It took me 1 hour and 20 minutes driving from Zurich to Vaduz it can be 20 minutes longer if there is traffic.

The distance is around 110 kilometers and everything is well indicated with the GPS. Once in Liechtenstein, the distance are so short and you can drive 10 minutes between each city from Vaduz like Balzers and Schaan.

Remember if you are driving in Switzerland you have to use the Swiss vignette in the highway (40 CHF valid for 12 months) and it will be the same for Liechtenstein for driving in the highway.

Otherwise it will take around 2 hours driving. If you rent a car in Switzerland they will have already but if you do a road trip in Switzerland you should buy on your own in the petrol station or supermarkets.

You will find parking spots in Vaduz and Liechtenstein most of them are paid in Schaan and Vaduz. And in places like Balzers and small towns you will be able to park for free. No worries they aren’t so expensive!
