Museums

If you are in Bendern, Liechtenstein and want to visit museums, I would suggest visiting The Liechtenstein National Museum. This museum is located in the capital city of Vaduz, which is only a short drive away from Bendern. If you are interested in visiting more museums, you may also want to check out the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, which is also located in Vaduz and features a collection of modern and contemporary art.

Food

As a language model, I don't have personal experiences or opinions like local people. However, some popular and typical dishes to try in Liechtenstein, which may also be available in Bendern, include:

1. Käsknöpfle: a dish made with small dumplings of flour, eggs, and cheese similar to Austrian Käsespätzle.

2. Rindsuppe: a clear beef broth soup often served with semolina dumplings -a typical Austrian dish- but with a Liechtensteiner twist.

3. Hafalaab: a sweet dessert made from ground cornmeal that is boiled in milk and served with fruit compote.

4. Alper Magronen: a pasta dish made with macaroni, potatoes, cheese, and onions, often served with applesauce.

5. Vogelnestli: "little bird's nests" are deep-fried balls of dough stuffed with jam and traditionally served during the carnival season.

These dishes can be found at various restaurants throughout Liechtenstein, including those in Bendern.

As Bendern is a small town, most of the activities can be found in the surrounding areas. Here are some fun activities that local people enjoy in Liechtenstein:
