The Princely Tattoo Parade in Schaan is a notable event.
The country maintains a strong national identity.
Limited activity is expected outside of major tourist areas on Sundays.
The Princely family and Monarchy receive high respect.
Respect Liechtenstein's independent national identity, as locals may be sensitive to being inaccurately identified as German, Austrian, or Swiss. Given its strong Catholic tradition, expect reduced activity on Sundays. The local Monarchy and the Princely family are highly respected.
