Cool facts about Liechtenstein

Posted on Sep 21, 2025 / Travel

It’s a principality ruled by a prince and is one of the world’s few remaining monarchies.
Liechtenstein is one of only two double-landlocked countries on Earth — you have to cross at least two countries to reach an ocean.
The country has no international airport and relies on nearby Swiss/Austrian airports plus trains and buses.
It has a tiny population (under 40,000) but a high GDP per capita — it’s pretty wealthy.
Liechtenstein doesn’t maintain a standing army in the way bigger countries do, which is a neat historical quirk.
For how small it is, the country punches above its weight in winter sports history — small nation, notable ski results.
It’s super easy to day-trip from Swiss or Austrian towns, making it a low-effort add-on to Alpine itineraries.
