Enchanting and charming museum!
This enchanting little museum is certainly with a visit if you are in Vaduz! We got free entry with the Vaduz Adventure Pass; otherwise it is 10 Swiss francs. Check the opening hours on the website (Uhrenmuseum Vaduz), or in Liechtenstein Tourism. It is a short walk from the city centre, housed in an old shop, and you need to ring the bell to gain entry. The host, Franz Beck, is charming, speaks perfect English and gave us a personal guided tour. He also gave us a free copy of his DVD, which you can watch there; it is in German and very visual. The collection is one he has amassed of the most beautiful clocks and watches from all ages. Things of beauty and a joy for ever. I have not seen such a fine collection anywhere else. There are ones that children would love. He also showed us his workshop, where he and his colleague do skilled watch and clockmending. Like stepping back in time, this was, with the visit to the Treasury, the best thing I did in Vaduz!
