In the footsteps of the Princes of Liechtenstein
The Liechtenstein Princely Family has a history deeply rooted in Vienna and the nearby areas of what is now the Czech Republic. For Liechtenstein's 2019 tricentennial a special group tour is being offered called "In the Footsteps of the Princes of Liechtenstein" visiting landmarks of the Princely Family in and around Vienna and concluding in the Principality of Liechtenstein. The tour will begin in Vienna where participants will be given a tour of the Princely Art Collections (the largest private art collection in the world) at the Liechtenstein Garden Palace and City Palace. While in Austria participants will also tour the Liechtenstein Castle in Mödling. The tour will include a visit to the former (UNESCO World Heritage) castles of the Princes of Liechtenstein in Lednice and Valtice in the Czech Republic, as well as a visit to the vineyards of the Liechtenstein Princely Family in Wilfersdorf, Austria. The tour then shifts to Liechtenstein where participants will enjoy sightseeing throughout the Principality including many of the above-mentioned events. The trip will take participants into the Liechtenstein Alps to the resort town of Malbun. Visitors will get a "backstage" tour or the masterpieces of the Princely Collection on display at the Liechtenstein Kunstmuseum (if travel is planned following its September 19, 2019 opening), as well as a tour and tasting at the vineyards of the Liechtenstein Princely Family in Vaduz.
