Liechtenstein


Easter holidays are here and we are heading to Switzerland!  We decided to go through Liechtenstein on the way, so we could tick off another small European country. We have now been to Europe’s four smallest countries: Vatican City, Monaco, San Marino and Liechtenstein!

Unfortunately Liechtenstein didn’t turn on the weather or the charm, unlike the other small countries it doesn’t have very much to offer.  The Prince of Liechtenstein in the wealthiest man in Europe and his country reflects his wealth!   He even lives in the castle on the hill, meaning it is one of a few working castles.   

Everything is pristine, modern and well groomed.  It has lots of banks and after a little research we discovered that Liechtenstein is one of the world’s leading destinations for money launderers.  We were actually making jokes about this as we walked around, and were not surprised when we read about it online.


We brought some incredibly over priced souvenirs, the kids begged us to get back in the car and keep moving towards Zurich, we happily obliged.
