Vaduz streetLittle unimportant facts about Vaduz
Liechtenstein, with its 34,000 inhabitants, is one of the smallest states in the world. Vaduy, its sleepy capital, has only 5,150 residents. Because of the high number of banks, you may even think that there's a bank for every person...
Other than a capital, since 1939 vaduz is also a Princely Residence. Vaduz at the weekend, when the banks are closed, closes down too. I was surprised to see how many hotels and restaurants had closed down once the businessmenn had left town. Only a handful of curious asian tourists (besides us) roamed the little streets. Local people did seem to keep mostly to their houses, except for a couple of kids with their skateboard who - like all other kids with a skateboard, were trying hard to knock themselves out. They seemed to enjoy to have the city nearly to themselves.
