Spent half a day in this mini-country and offshore financial center on an October weekend visiting the town and the art museum. Here are some impressions:

Boxes, the castle of Liechtenstein (still inhabited by the prince bearing the same name), and mountains:

Hope you enjoyed the thread ! :cheers:

Absolutely fantastic ! Love these pictures. Thank you.
Liechtenstein looks very beautiful and better than I expected. :)

it's like a dream
it's like a fairy tale:happy:

Great pics, it looks like a nice place.

I agree it's really beautiful place, I've been in Vaduz few times and always liked it.

I want to go to Liechtenstein now. :) Do you need a passport to get in? I believe it's not in the Schengen zone yet, no?

^^ it´s handled the same like switzerland

it just has small differences in working taxes, etc.


@Geborgenheit: this is just the CAPITAL.
the rest of Liechtenstein is a bit boring due to it´s small size and has just a few lovely places. of course it´s safe and pretty even there

I spent a few hours last week in this small but nice country.
Here some of my photos:
