It fits in well with Austria and Switzerland and is generally a nice place to visit, although I'm not sure if it has what would be called tourist attractions! Definitely worth a stop though if you're in the neighbourhood! -------------------- Jess' Travelogue Jess' Website: publications, upcoming travel etc.

(About the same size as Washington D.C.) I visited several years ago, and don't remember much of a change from Austria and Switzerland. We were going to spend the night, but by the time we found a place we were out of the country. Try the capitol of Vaduz for things to do.

Only 34,000 residents. Interesting place. I would like to hear from anyone who has been there recently. I guess I could use the search for travelers feature!

Nomad Group: Members Posts: 137 Joined: 12-September 06 From: Stuttgart, Germany Member No.: 17223 Nominate me as a Local Expert	I went there last year (sorry no travelpod about it, I didn't know you guys existed them). I've heard that the castle is really nice. My boyfriend has relatives that live there so we didn't do any "site seeing" (I really don't think there is anything there). They get the föhn effect. Wind from Italy cools as it moves up and over the mountains, then as it comes down into Lichtenstein it warms significantly and makes dry, strong, warm winds. It gives some people headaches, but keeps the country really warm. I felt like I was in California. -------------------- GermanyTravelAdvisor.com

Armchair Adventurer Group: Members Posts: 2 Joined: 23-August 07 Member No.: 82152 Nominate me as a Local Expert	I went there in September last year- pretty beautiful countryside- I went on a Sunday and it was totally deserted bar a few Japanese tourists, a few backpackers and the Liechtensteiners going about their jobs in the tourist industry- only the touristy shops, cafes and the passport stamp kiosk were open. The castle is worth a look and the parliament building has quite a nice paint job, but thats about it really.
