Liechtenstein aka: Lichtenstein

Went for a football match can’t think of many reasons to visit unless you want to deposit a lot of money in the bank but it’s worth visiting to see such a small country and I’d rather live there than Switzerland.

Interesting from a philatelist’s point of view, I want to visit tiny Liechenstein and buy stamps and postcards from local post office. I’ll send the postcards and keep the extra stamps. :D

great coffee and shopping in vaduz! what i found really funny was the map of liechtenstein in the center of the capital. it is like 1 square meter big and it actually shows all the individual houses in the country ;)

It is so relaxing – and worth a visit, especially if you live in Europe. I can understand why others would think it was a waste to stop here if you have a limited time or are on a short 2 week trip, since it’s kind of hard to get to.

This is a beautiful and relaxing little country with loads of charm. Don’t come here expecting loads of entertainment – the natural beauty is plenty!

Definitely stop at the Prince’s vineyard (Hofkellerei) it is one of the most beautiful places you can imagine. While you are there get some wine to ‘export’ since you aren’t able to buy this outside of Liechtenstein. It is on the ‘main drag’ before you get to downtown Vaduz if you are driving south.

Another surprising thing was that Swarovski crystal is headquartered here.

Don’t forget to get your passport stamp for 2€ at the tourist office.

This map is particularly helpful with details of attractions and how to make reservations.

We are leaving Saturday morning -I’ll be sure to take a lot of beautiful photos!
