📣 Traveler notes

Liechtenstein is a small, alpine, German-speaking principality with a population of 38,000, doubly landlocked by Switzerland and Austria.

  • The holiday falls on the Monday following Pentecost.
  • It is recognized in the Catholic Church as a memorial for the Blessed Virgin Mary.
  • The principality is an independent, German-speaking state.
  • Respect the national identity of Liechtenstein; locals take offense when wrongly labeled as 'German,' 'Austrian,' or 'Swiss.' Note that the Prince and Monarchy are highly respected; keep this in mind during conversations with locals. The country has a strong Catholic tradition, and on Sundays, many streets are quiet, mainly frequented by tourists.
