    Getting TO/AROUND: Finding room for an airport in such a tiny country is no mean feat, especially when it is in the alps - and they havn't.

    Most travellers will use Zurich airport in Switzerland, which has good connections to the principality.

    As an alternative, the closest airport is actually 65kms away in Germany. Friedrichshafen airport has several flights coming in from German cities, Prague, and a very useful daily flight on Ryanair from Stansted London.

    Transfers by rail need a few connections, but it passes off smoothly with effortless German / Austian / Swiss efficiency .

    Transportation: Ruthlessly efficient bus service
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Bus
    Getting TO/AROUND: The railway may run through the principality, but only an irregular local train servive that uses : Schaan-Vaduz, Forst Hilti, Nendeln, and Schaanwald.

    To make up for this Liechensteins's bus service has been sub-contracted to the Swiss postbus system.

    Now, that's what I call sensible outsourcing - it is run with ruthless Swiss efficiency. A bus arriving is not a matter of chance or circumstance but as reliable method of setting your watch, and you never get three turn up at once !

    There are about 11 routes plus special buses to the nearby train stations in Austria/ Switzerland that recieve eurocity trains and a seasonal skibus.

     A lovely little town. Great idea to add the crown to their flag. The special stamps are a plus also.
