📣 Traveler notes

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

  • Due to its location and culture, be prepared for limited activity in non-tourist areas on major holidays.
  • The country maintains a strong sense of national identity and pride.
  • Dress modestly and observe local customs, especially regarding religious observances.
  • Be respectful of Liechtenstein's national identity; avoid misidentifying the country or its people as merely 'German,' 'Austrian,' or 'Swiss.' Remember that the Monarchy and the Princely Family are highly respected. As a historically Catholic country, note that on Sundays, streets are generally quiet outside of tourist areas.
