It's actually a pretty great castle to visit. They have a few of the rooms set up with furnishings, and a room dug down to some of the earlier foundations from previous castles. In a quick hour or two you can follow the numbered room tour and really enjoy it.
It is seriously just built on a rock promontory.
That's pretty much the only serious sight in Vianden, it's a small town! After, we stopped in Echternacht on our way back to Germany. On Sunday, there's a big flea market in the town square.
We headed into the Basilica of St. Willibrord, the main sight of the town. It was a pretty cool church, with a mix of period styles. Apparently its most famous feature is the alternating columns and pillars.
I also stopped in at another of the minor sights of the city, the Museum of Rural Architecture. It was one room with some models...
But it really was a charming town!
