As a result of its small size Liechtenstein, the place has been affected by external cultural influences. With the overbearing tall castle perched on top of the cliff in Vaduz, this is where people stop for all their paper processing. It was in 2003 when the state tourism decided to increase tourism and so planned on giving keys to Vaduz to businesses to come and conduct workshops and thereby increase visits by foreigners.

Hidden in the midst of the Alps, Liechtenstein is a landlocked country, and also shares borders with other landlocked countries. Ruled by a prince, it belongs to one of the oldest Royal families in Europe. When making a trip to this exotic location, here are five things to keep in mind so you have a fun filled trip.

One of the primary ski resorts is situated right here in Malbun, and within this are a ski school and snowboard school as well.

There are buses commuting from Vaduz on a daily basis, but only during day time. So, check the timings and book your tickets ahead of time.
