Liechtenstein is a small alpine German-speaking country which is landlocked by Switzerland and Austria. It is the last remnant of the Holy Roman Empire and an independent state. It enjoys a very high standard of living and is home to some incredibly beautiful mountain scenery.

Measuring just 25km in length and 6km in width, the country is barely larger than Manhattan. And though it might not look like much on a map, up close, it’s filled with numerous hiking and cycling trails offering spectacular views of craggy cliffs, quaint villages, friendly locals and lush green forests.

Liechtenstein's most popular attractions include:

Vaduz - The capital is the main shopping area in the country, with many souvenir stores and assorted restaurants. The city is also home to a grand cathedral and the famous Liechtenstein Kunstmuseum. A ski museum is North of downtown.

Schloss Vaduz - The imposing castle overlooks the city of Vaduz - it is accesable on the Vaduz-Triesenberg main road. it is not open to the public.

It is entirely possible to encounter the Royal family at the Kunstmuseum or skiing during winter time. This is one benefit of such a small country.

Balzers - Home to a beautiful church and a spectacular gothic castle.
