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. Though Liechtenstein sometimes gets overshadowed by its more famous
neighbours, Switzerland and Austria, the magnanimity of its natural beauty is
captivating in its own right. And what better way to experience it than through
