📣 Traveler notes

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

  • The country is known for its alpine setting and German-speaking culture.
  • Expect a strong sense of national pride regarding Liechtenstein's independence.
  • Be respectful of the Prince and the Monarchy.
  • Keep in mind that religious observances affect local life, particularly on Sundays.
  • Respect Liechtenstein's independent national identity; locals can be offended by being wrongly labeled as 'German,' 'Austrian,' or 'Swiss'. The Princely Monarchy and the Prince are highly respected. Remember that it is a traditional Catholic country, and streets are quiet on Sundays.

About this holiday

Whit Monday (or Pentecost Monday) is a movable feast celebrated the day after Pentecost. It is determined by the date of Easter. In the Catholic Church, it is observed as the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, marking the resumption of Ordinary Time.
