Get to know more about Liechtenstein before booking your tour packages

Liechtenstein is officially known as the Principality of Liechtenstein. It is an autonomous state bordering Switzerland and Austria. The Principality of Liechtenstein was established in 1719 and became fully autonomous in 1806. It is a tiny nation that covers only 160 square kilometres in area. However, despite its small size, this country has the highest gross domestic products per person in the world. Liechtenstein is a landlocked country, a semi-constitutional monarchy whose capital city is Vaduz.

Liechtenstein is situated in the Upper Rhine valley of the European Alps and has been inhabited since the Early Stone Age. Although German is the official language, many people also speak other dialects of German here. Catholicism is the official state religion and there are many cathedrals and churches that you will be able to explore on a Liechtenstein tour.

Experience Liechtenstein 

The buildings, terrain, panoramic views, imperial castles, medieval monuments, and spectacular churches and cathedrals in this monarchy all make a tour of Liechtenstein seem like something straight out of a fairy tale. But not everything here belongs to the middle-ages. Despite being only 160 square kilometres in size, this country’s attractions lure all kinds of travellers. The capital city of Vaduz exemplifies the prosperity of the nation by being quite cosmopolitan and modern in its outlook. You can know more about the royal heritage and the cultural aspect of Liechtenstein through its museums and art galleries.

This castle looks as if it has come straight out of a fairy tale with its splendour set against the backdrop of jagged mountains. You cannot help but admire the spectacle of the castle, but you will have to do so from afar as the royal family still lives here and no visitors are allowed inside. Landtag is the country’s parliament building, located in the Peter-Kaiser-Platz area on the banks of the Rhine River.
