    If you enter Liechtenstein from Switzerland you will maybe not recognize the border.
    Over a long distance it is the river Rhine seperating the two countries.
    In the middle of the 6 bridges you find a sign marking the border, the sign is the coat of arms of the Princely House of Liechtenstein and it is also the large national coat of arms.
    Making a nice sujet for a picture.

    My favourite thing about liechtenstein is that it is amazingly small and beautiful. Everything is so nicely done that one feel's like if i have come to a wonderland.

    Now you can imagine hwo much do i like this country. It is situated between Switzerland and Austria. You can come here either from Feldkirch (Austria), Buchs (Switzerland) or Sargans (Switzerland)

    This is the Flag of Liechtenstein. The national colours are Red and Blue and the colours given by the prince are Red and Yellow. You will see the whole country full of these three bright colours.

    I first came to Liechtenstein in December and then in April... Last month i was there TWICE. I love this country.

    One of Liechtenstein important money earner is her postage stamps.

    So drop by the stamp museum and check out all the stamps issued from this prinicipality from Day one. Admission is free.

    More important buy some stamps. Those friends and children who are collectors will be very appreciative.

    Tax haven

  • For such a small country, Liechtensteiners have a very high standard of living thanks in part to the country's function as a tax haven. It is easy to form a corporation in Liechtenstein and they have a very low business tax rate which makes it an attractive place to form a legal entity and do business. The formation of foundations registered in the name of an attorney or other Leichtensteiner, created to protect the privacy (or some may say hide the assets) of foreign financial holdings, also contributes to the economy.

  • Liechtenstein's official currency is the Swiss Franc (CHF) although at least one place we went asked us if we wanted to use Euro or Swiss Franc.

    Liechtenstein is not cheap, we spent a bit of time trying to find a souvenir to add to David's collection at work and couldn't locate anything that was reasonably priced or for that matter interesting. Same thing goes for tshirts for my niece and nephew, way overpriced, so we decided to send them a postcard instead.

    We used both our Visa card here and our ATM card with no problem.

    As mentioned in the previous tip, there is now monitored border between Liechtenstein and Switzerland, but on the bridges you find a sign marking the border line.

    When I was last in this tiny country I found out an interesting little fact about their national flag.

    Apparantly the Olympic team turned up to the 1936 games and were gobsmacked to find another flag the same as their own.

    It was the good people of Liechenstein rather than those of Haiti who took the initiative : and that's the reason they have a crown slapped on their flag !

    The first and only indication you get of entering Liechtenstein is the border sign on the bridge crossing the Rhine from Switzerland. Liechtenstein is not the biggest tourist draw in Europe but if you are in the area, you certainly should go and spend a few hours there if for no other reason but to say you have been there.

    In the background on the mountain is the Castle of Vaduz, which serves as the residence of Liechenstein's prince.
