Tucked away between Switzerland and Austria, Liechtenstein is a compact country covering just 62 square miles with a population under 40,000. Despite its size, it boasts an abundance of cultural richness and stunning natural beauty akin to destinations considerably larger — my husband and I experienced this firsthand on our recent European road trip.
“Despite being small enough to traverse within just hours, Liechtenstein provides an impressive array of attractions and experiences,” shared Olena Grabova, a global culture expert from Promova, with Travel & Leisure. “Nestled in the magnificent Alps, it offers breathtaking mountain scenery that outdoor enthusiasts will love.”
