Liechtenstein - 300 Years

How to get there:
  • From Zurich Hauptbahnof (central or main station) and get off at Sargans (around 50 minutes)
    • Check www.trainline.com for tickets, you can get tickets for as cheap as 10 USD per way if you get it early enough
  • From Sargans, take bus 11 and get off at Vaduz Post or Stadhall

Feedback:
  • It is a very small place and might actually be slightly "boring" when there are no events.
  • Going to the castle has a footpath that takes 15-20 minutes up but the view is SPECTACULAR!
Facts about the country

Liechtenstein, officially the Principality of Liechtenstein (German: Fürstentum Liechtenstein),[7] is a doubly landlocked German-speaking microstate in Alpine Central Europe. The principality is a constitutional monarchy headed by the Prince of Liechtenstein. Liechtenstein is bordered by Switzerland to the west and south and Austria to the east and north. It is Europe's fourth-smallest country, with an area of just over 160 square kilometres (62 square miles) and a population of 37,877.[9] Divided into 11 municipalities, its capital is Vaduz, and its largest municipality is Schaan. It is also the smallest country to border two countries. It along with Uzbekistan are the only two doubly landlocked countries in the world. Economically, Liechtenstein has one of the highest gross domestic products per person in the world when adjusted for purchasing power parity.[11] It was once known as a billionaire tax haven, but is no longer on any blacklists of uncooperative tax haven countries (see taxation section). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liechtenstein
