If anyone hasn't made plans for Easter yet, would you like to head east one more time?

While most of the upcoming long Easter + Liberation Day + Labour Day holidays will be for Poland (it's the year of the Chopin piano competition), before leaving for Warsaw we would still like to throw in a short weekend trip. Plan is to visit Liechtenstein, so as to remain faithful to the "East for Easter" tagline, while not travelling too far.

With the capital city Vaduz that's now easily reachable by bus, it should be fairly easy to have a walk up to the princely castle and take a look at the city center, with its bizarre art sculptures and the postal museum.

Together with Vaduz, we'll also explore the Austrian city of Feldkirch, as this will allow us to see some of the sights we didn't have time to visit in Protected content , like the fortified church of Rankweil, with its miraculous chapel.

A rough program would be:

( Friday 18th Easter processions in Mendrisio, see Protected content )

Saturday 19th
Bus to Vaduz and a walk in the old town, then we'll head to Feldkirch. Plan is to spend two nights there

Sunday 20th
Walk along the Camino di Santiago, from Feldkirch to Rankweil ( Protected content ). If we have some extra time, we might consider spending the late afternoon in Bregenz, by the Konstanz Lake.

Monday 21th
Head back home.

As usual, feel free to come for Protected content !
