Liechtenstein Travel Blogs

The Principality of Liechtenstein was established within the Holy Roman Empire in 1719; it became a sovereign state in 1806. Until the end of World War I, it was closely tied to Austria, but the economic devastation caused by that conflict forced Liechtenstein to enter into a customs and monetary union with Switzerland. Since World War II (in which Liechtenstein remained neutral), the country's low taxes have spurred outstanding economic growth. Shortcomings in banking regulatory oversight have resulted in concerns about the use of the financial institutions for money laundering. Liechtenstein has, however, implemented new anti-money-laundering legislation and recently concluded a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with the US. To be updated

Twas the night before Europe .... Europe » Liechtenstein » Balzers

Christmas Eve

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring ... except for Elliott who put off packing for his European trip until Christmas Eve... Flying out on Christmas day was a bit of a worry for me. I didn't know how I would feel spending Christmas in airports and planes. However, this thought was quickly overcome by the amazing Christmas that I spent with my family on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning before going to the airport. Of course this didn't mean that things were going to be easy for me ... My original flight [View Full Entry]

Liechtenstein!

Spent a whole day in Europe's 3rd smallest country, Liechtenstein. It's basically an Austria County to begin with, and somehow over the years, gain independence. However, the Money and postal system is same as Switz and the Language is basically, German. The Size of this country is like...less than half of NT in Hong Kong!! but here even less land coz mostly dominated by mountains!! Its more like a small city by the Rhine River Valley.... Anyways, took the bus straight to the capital - Vaduz. They didn't doany border check, They only have a border set with Austria but they [View Full Entry]

Europe in 12days!!!!! Europe » Liechtenstein

White Cliffs of Dover

Europe……… We loved the ferry trip from Dover to Calais in France, once again the sun shone and it was a smooth crossing. To meet us was our guide Francesca who’s a real sweetie. It was then off to Belguim where we spent our first night in Brussels. After a tour of the city with a local guide we dined out in one of the streets at a Greek restaurant and we were serenaded by a couple of local musicians. The next day it was Brekkie in Belgium, smoko in Luxembourg, lunch in France and Switzerland for Tea!!!!!! Not as crazy [View Full Entry]

We've been to Liechtenstein, jealous? I didn't think so... Europe » Liechtenstein

Main Street

We stopped over for a very early lunch in the 4th smallest country in the world, Liechtenstein, on the way to Switzerland on the 3rd of July... as you do!! We only spent an hour and a half here. The centre of town was very small and everything including food was quite expensive. The scenery was very beautiful, but we didn't find the place very interesting. It was a good experience to see it though :)! [View Full Entry]

Liechtenstein (Lichtenstein) A tiny Jewel Europe » Liechtenstein

Typical sight around Vaduz

Oh yes, if ever there is a country that boxes above its weight, it has got to be Liechtenstein. In only 160 square kilometres (62 sq miles) you can view amazing alps, sample some of the worlds finest wine, drink crystal clear water, try mountain biking, skiing, bushwalking, fishing or you can just plonk your bum down and sip coffee and people watch. The country (well, officially a principality) is the worlds 4th smallest. But dont be fooled by its size. It is surrounde by the Saminata mountains on one side and the Swiss Alps on the other. The highest peak [View Full Entry]
