Liechtenstein Shopping Tips by Pieter11

Name of Shop: Tourist Shops

In Vaduz you will find quite a lot of tourist shops, most of them located at Städtle, the pedestrian area of the city. But unfortunately most of the souvenirs you can get here are not about Liechtenstein at all, but about it beloved neighbour Switzerland.

90% of all the souvenirs are about typically Swiss things: creamy chocolates, cow bells, tacky clocks and watches and all other kinds of things with the red flag and the white cross on it.

The rest of the products do have a Liechtensteiner flag on it, or the Princely symbol, but except for the stamps there is not really something that is typically Liechtenstein. What I did like was this huge Liechtensteiner cow outside one of the shops, but I don't think this one was for sale...

Name of Shop: Touristshops or the Post Office


What To Buy: Liechtenstein is famous for their post stamps. Collectors from all over the world would die for a stamp from this little nation. Because the prints are very low in number, the value of the stamps rises quickly, and that makes them wanted. Another reason is that most of the stamps from Liechtenstein simply are very beautiful.

If you are not a real expert on post stamps, you can just look for some nice ones in every tourist shop you will see in the shopping street of Vaduz: Städtle. There you will see a lot of pre-compiled sets of stamps, for reasonable prices (I think...).

But if you are a real expert you'd better go to the Post Office (also very close to Städtle) to look for some interesting ones there. The quality and the choise are better there...

Name of Shop: Tourist Office

Of course it is a very nice souvenir to have an official "Liechtenstein" stamp in your passport, but because there is no customs control between Switzerland and Liechtenstein, you have to go to the Tourist Office in Vaduz to ask for it.

You can find this Tourist Office in the main shopping street in the capital, Städtle. Directly opposite the Kunstmuseum you'll find the small office. On weekdays and Saturdays you can just walk in and ask for a stamp.

Because this stamp is purely used as a "Souvenir Stamp", you have to pay to get it in your passport. A stamp costs 2,- CF or € 1,50,-.
