Visa requirements
Part of the Schengen Area, Liechtenstein allows visa-free entry for many nationalities for up to 90 days within 180 days; it has no airport and is reached via Switzerland or Austria.
Getting around
A reliable LIEmobil bus network covers the whole country and links to Swiss and Austrian rail stations, while cars and bikes suit scenic exploring.
Safety
Liechtenstein is one of the world's safest countries with virtually no violent crime. The main risks are alpine weather and trail conditions when hiking.
Tipping customs
Tipping is modest; rounding up the bill or adding around 5–10% for good service is customary.
Travel tips
There's no airport, so arrive by train to nearby Switzerland and continue by bus, or drive in. The Swiss franc is used and cards are widely accepted. You can get a souvenir passport stamp at the Vaduz tourist office.
