Liechtenstein, a tiny alpine principality between Switzerland and Austria, recorded more than 200,000 tourist nights in 2024, a figure dwarfed only by Serbia’s 12.6 million nights. The country’s 40,000 residents and 62‑square‑mile territory rank it as Europe’s fourth smallest state. Despite its modest size, Liechtenstein is one of the world’s richest nations, with Prince Hans‑Adam II’s net worth at £7.9 billion and nearly 19 % of households classified as millionaires. The principality has no airports, ports or railway stations; the nearest airfield is Altenrhein, Switzerland, 30 minutes from Vaduz, and Zurich Airport is about 90 minutes away. Rail links run through Swiss border towns Buchs and Sargans or the Austrian station Feldkirch. The lack of direct transport links and the country’s discreet luxury make it an exclusive, if hard‑to‑reach, tourist destination.
