Vaduz, Liechtenstein: between alpine village, national capital, and banking centre

I once went through Liechtenstein while going from Luzern to Innsbruck. Actually we took a small detour on the Swiss highway and the intention was just to tell everybody "hey, I've been to Liechtenstein!"
But thing is, Vaduz is ULTRA clean, I could see nothing on the streets, not even leafs or whatsoever. It's quite beautiful as well, although a bit too small for me. I didn't get so further into the Städle, only stayed in the Civic Centre and drove through some streets in the city.Nice pictures, Liechtenstein deserves some attention here on SSC too.

Nice shots, but why would anyone want to live there? I mean the city isn't even particularly beautiful with all those boxy buildings. There are plenty of places throughout the Alps that are more quaint.
