Liechtenstein Hotel Tips by Pieter11

Liechtenstein is the only country in Europe, except from Scandinavia, where camping is permitted anywhere. As long as you are not camping on private property, you can set up your tent wherever you want. And when you are on private property, you should ask the owner of the land.

And luckily, Liechtenstein has a lot of fantastic places to camp in the wild. As soon as you go into the mountains you will be surprised by the fantastic views over and over again. Time after time great places to sleep. And after a short walk you can even make sure that all the time you spend in the mountains, you will not see a single person around.

When I went camping in Liechtenstein I searched for a nice spot in the Saminatal, near Steg. The only problem I encountered was the lack of flat land. When there is not a single square metre of flat land setting up a tent can become difficult, or at least sleeping in it. Luckily I found a great little valley here with a great spot for the tent. I didn't see any people anymore after I set up the tent, took some food with me for dinner and breakfast, and had a great time there!

Unique Qualities: No swimming pool, no bars or roomservice, no fitnessroom around and no 5-star breakfast. But: an absolutely fantastic view all around you, the only sounds you hear are the river and the birds, and what is better than washing yourself in a mountain-stream in the morning?

So it is possible to camp in Liechtenstein without paying for it, but I also spent my second night in the country without spending a single penny!

In 2006 I discovered a website called www.couchsurfing.com. This webcommunity has several tens of thousands of members who all offer a place to sleep for free for other members: you are offering a place to sleep in case someone asks you, and the other members are willing to welcome you if you ask to. No matter where you are looking for a place to sleep, you will always find some couchsurfers around. And so in Liechtenstein you'll also find some.

In Vaduz I stayed with a family that was very welcoming and showed us the Liechtensteiner life-style. A great meal was prepared for us, and a soft bed was provided too. The centre of Vaduz was on walking distance and all that: for free!

Unique Qualities: Getting to know the locals in a great way, and of course: for free!
