Vaduz Castle

A two minute drive from the high street (because who wants to walk in this heat when you don't need to), and up a hill overlooking the tiny centre, is Vaduz Castle, the home of the monarch, the Prince of Liechtenstein. Built first in the 12th century it has been extended many times. It's probably the main medieval sight in this country of less than 40,000 people. We couldn't go inside, it's occupied, but we and a handful of tourists took some photos with the beautiful backdrop. Back at the car we drank our cool beers trying to cool off in the car's overworked air conditioning.
