The tiny European state of Liechtenstein is a vivid example of the fact that economic prosperity and a high standard of living in the country do not always depend on its wide expanses. Judge for yourselves: Liechtenstein regularly ranks first in the world top of countries with high GDP, there is practically no crime in the principality, and every citizen receives a solid income from external investments. And all this happens in the country, whose length is only 20 km, and width - 6 km! The unimaginable beauties and main attractions of this small but proud principality will be discussed in our today's article.
Picturesque refuge in the Alps
The first thing that literally amazes upon arrival in Liechtenstein is the landscapes of incredible beauty. The Principality is comfortably located at the foot of the picturesque Alps, thanks to which it boasts truly stunning views. For tourists, the local nature resembles an animated picture from a fairy tale book about a beautiful state in which peace and harmony reigns. Majestic mountains, colorful meadows, azure sky and lush green forests - than no scenery for the real Far Ended Kingdom?
Cleanliness, peace and beauty!
To be frank, the stunning nature is almost the main reason why tourists come to Liechtenstein. The state is so tiny that it can not boast of many different attractions. But nevertheless the princedom has something to be proud of. For example, its capital, Vaduz, a small town with a population of about 5 thousand people, is considered one of the cleanest capitals in the world. By the way, all the settlements of Liechtenstein are well-groomed and tidy, of which there are as many as 11.
Along with the stunning cleanliness, the incredible silence that reigns in Liechtenstein is striking: there is no busy traffic here, and there are no crowds of tourists on the streets.
Food for body and soul
Stunning nature, of course, attracts tourists, but they are delayed in Liechtenstein in large part thanks to the famous local cheeses and wines. You can try exclusive wines, for example, in the winery "Wine House". And enjoy delicious cheeses and national dishes - in numerous restaurants and cafes of the principality.
As for the spiritual hunger, local museums will help to quench it: the National Museum of Liechtenstein, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Postal Museum, the Museum of Skis and Winter Sports. There is also an excellent ski resort in Liechtenstein, in terms of comfort not inferior to the resorts of Austria and France.
