Liechtenstein

Day 5: I was most excited about this DayTrip adventure (Füssen to Lucerne) because we would be stopping in Liechtenstein!! (Country #35 for me!!) 

Fun facts about Liechtenstein:

-Around 37,000 people live there

-It’s a semi-constitutional monarchy headed by the Prince of Liechtenstein 

-It’s the 6th smallest country in the world (62 sq miles)

-It has one of the lowest crime rates in the world 

-It’s the worlds leading manufacturer of false teeth

We stopped in Vaduz which is the capital. We drove up to see the castle, but it is not open to the public as the Prince actively lives there!  

We then ate lunch, I bought my country magnet, got an official Liechtenstein stamp in my passport, and walked around the town! 

They have a postal museum (which we did not go in), but it was fun to see all the stamps like this one on the streets! 

We only spent a couple hours here, just walking around the town and having lunch… Lichtenstein

is a very small country so I imagine most people don’t spend a whole lot of time here. 

After our stop, we drove the rest of the way and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon/evening in Lucerne!

Next post will talk about our afternoon exploring and the next day visiting Mt Pilatus from Lucerne!
