Access
by ant1606
Liechtenstein's western border lies in the middle of the Rhein river and here it runs for some 25 Km in length. Access from Switzerland is then through five bridges with border inspection. Shouldn't it be for these, German language and the use of the Swiss Franc wouldn't suggest it's a different country.Easy access as well to the northeast from the Austrian town of Feldkirch. Euro currency is widely accepted.Gas/Diesel price at the pump is similar to that of Switzerland, and more expensive than in Austria.

Getting to Liechtenstein
by DueSer
Just like another tiny country, San Marino, there isn't a train to take you to Liechtenstein. Take the train to Buchs or Sargans, Switzerland, and then hop onto a big, green bus called, appropriately, The Liechtenstein Bus. The bus takes Swiss Francs (the currency of Liechtenstein) or Euros and takes about 20 minutes to arrive in Vaduz, the capital. You can also get off in the town of Schaan, which is separated from Vaduz by a river. Buses run a few times every hour and are clean and comfortable. For more help and for maps, the Buchs train station has a tourist information center. The same is probably true in Sargans but I don't know for certain because I went through Buchs.There are lockers at the train station in Buchs so if you're just going for a day trip, like I was, you can store your bags at the station. These lockers, however, only take Swiss francs, unlike the bus, which takes...
Liechtenstein Bus
by pure1942
Liechtenstein does not have an airport and has very limited rail connections (Schaan - Feldkirch) Coming from Swwitzerland the best option is to get a train to Sargans or Buchs and then catch the local Liechtenstein Post Bus into Vaduz via Balzers. The #12 bus runs the route Sargans - Balzars - Vaduz - Schaan - Buchs and vice-versaThe buses are very regular, every 10 - 15 minutes.

Driving into and around Liechtenstein
by Dabs
We drove into Liechtenstein from Eastern Switzerland, I knew that when we crossed the river we would enter the country but if I hadn't I probably wouldn't have even noticed that we entered a new country. Entering from Austria is another story, they have a real border guard there and I believe some kind of toll but we turned around before we got to the border.Driving around Liechtenstein was a breeze, the country is not very large, 16 miles long and 4 miles wide so it's hard to get lost as at some point you run out of country!
Getting Around Liechtenstein
by i-tourist
The best way to get around Liechtenstein is by bus. There is a reliable, cheap bus service that covers most of the country. Don't expect it to be there late at night, though, but if you are still partying in the early hours, you should be OK - they start early!For more information, visit my website at www.about-liechtenstein.co.uk

Autobahn Vignette
by Pieter11
When you are travelling to Liechtenstein by car or motorbike, please remind that you will always need an Autobahn-vignette for the highways in Austria and/or Switzerland.Most of the times you will enter Liechtenstein coming from Switzerland. For this country, the vignets are only sold per year: € 28,10 per year (in 2007). When you (also) cross Austria during your travel to the small country you (also) need a vignette. In Austria they are sold in three types: 10 days for € 8,75, 2 months for € 22,95 and a full year for € 73,75.Both the vignets can be bought at the border crossings, or in advance at specific places all over Europe, mostly tourist agencies. You stick the sticker on the front window of your car, and an electronical laser will check if you have the correct one while you are entering the country.
Easy and efficient
by Anjutka
The distances in the country are very short, it is only a few hours walk to cross the whole country. Roads and bus transport are excellent, the railway is operated by Austria and is of minor importance for local transportation, mostly only for long distance trains between Austria and Switzerland (which do not stop in Liechtenstein).
