As I mentioned already in my facebook
status, Liechtenstein is the 6th smallest country in the world
covering only 160 square kilometers. Meanwhile, Google says it is the country which has world’s lowest external debt and the second lowest unemployment rate in the world at 1.5% after Monaco. Vaduz- the capital is a special place you feel
part of a Spanish movie with lots of residential houses and beautifuly arranged gardens.
Actually, Vaduz is just a residential capital and the country has limited natural resources.
Instead, Liechtenstein has more registered companies than citizens (because of
the low business taxes), is a big producer of ceramic, world’s larger producer of
sausage casings and false teeth. Education in Liechtenstein is highly ranked (10th place in
the world).
But besides these numbers, the only
must-see trip advisor recommends in Vaduz is the Vaduz Castle, residence of
Prince of Liechtenstein. Unfortunately it is not accessible to the public, but
I strongly recommend walking up to it. The view opening from the castle is stunning. Another highlight is the Hofkellerei (Wine Cellars) of the Prince of Liechtenstein that I unfortunately wasn’t able to see. But locals say it is a
special charm place. Vaduz seemed to me empty, as there are no locals at all. Just some tourists were enjoying a drink in restaurants and the sellers were too glad to make the business. In any case main attractions in Vaduz, Liechtenstein I already described,
and the last things to do in there is walk around the main street, buy some souvenirs,
a bottle of wine, buy an original expensive watch and enjoy the panorama all around the
city.
Thank you for reading. The next post about St.Gallen will follow soon.
