📣 Traveler notes

Liechtenstein is a small, alpine, German-speaking nation with a population of approximately 38,000, surrounded by Switzerland and Austria.

  • Be aware that the country is small and densely populated.
  • Observe local traditions and respect the significance of the Catholic faith.
  • Understand that national identity is a source of local pride.
  • Expect reduced activity in general areas on Sundays.
  • Respect Liechtenstein's independent national identity; avoid labeling the country or its people as solely 'German,' 'Austrian,' or 'Swiss.' Remember that it is a traditional Catholic country, and on Sundays, the streets are typically quiet outside of tourist areas. The Prince and the Monarchy are highly respected among the locals.

About this holiday

Pentecost Monday (Whit Monday or Monday of the Holy Spirit) is a moveable Christian holiday celebrated the day after Pentecost. In the Catholic Church, it commemorates the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, and marks the return to Ordinary Time.
