Liechtenstein is one of those places most travelers skip without realizing what they’re missing. In today’s vlog we explore this tiny Alpine country tucked between Switzerland and Austria. From its quiet capital of Vaduz to mountain views, castle overlooks, cozy cafés, and the kind of slow travel moments that make a place unforgettable.
We spent the day wandering the streets of Vaduz, learning about Liechtenstein’s history, tasting local food, and soaking in the unreal scenery that most people overlook. With fewer than 70,000 tourists visiting each year, this is easily one of Europe’s most underrated destinations.
Whether you’re planning a Europe road trip, curious about micro-countries, or looking for hidden mountain escapes, this Liechtenstein travel guide will help you decide if this tiny country deserves a spot on your itinerary.

We bought one of those cow bells when we went skiing in the French Alps. My husband has fixed it to his bicycle…no need to ring a bicycle bell when we are travelling around our city (we have ‘redways’ that are routes for pedestrians and cyclists).
When I lived in Germany, I would travel to Liechtenstein several times for weekend getaways.
What a beautiful country! Sara you looked like a little girl on the swing having the time of your life. Thanks for bringing us along. Great video guys. ~Cara 😊
what a beautiful video!
Just came to this video to fact check and pronunciation shame you 😂
But in all seriousness Lichtenstein looks wonderful! We like our mountains jagged and people-less.
I was captured by the beauty of the landscape and villages, but it was cows with bells that sold me. I need to visit now!
Crazy how a place this tiny can look more epic than half of Europe. Liechtenstein just went from ‘never heard of it’ to top of my hiking bucket list.
My ears perked up when you said Gutenberg as that was the end town of RAGBRAI this year (Guttenberg with 2 t’s though). Any thoughts yet on when Chris will get his redemption for last year’s RAGBRAI?
Wow Awesome views
The reason that people don't go there is simple !!!
This Country is moraly as corrupt as Switzerland.
They are parking fortunes in their banks from organized crime, criminals, Tax evaders and dictators that brutaly extort their Citizens and sell drugs like Candy .
These people are responsible that the oppressed Citizens from poor Countries have no access to that stolen money – they can't build infrastructure or hospitals or other vital projects. Because Liechtenstein is blocking their Access to that Money !!!
A DESPICABLE COUNTRY, that should be ashamed – just like Switzerland – PERIOD
I see some beautiful b-roll of mountains that are awfully appealing (ahem ahem). 😀 What an amazing looking landscape. This just jumped up on my bucket list (New Zealand, Croatia, Argentina are also up there).
By the way, I really appreciate your perspective filming – capturing the broader landscape but then also bringing the viewers into the close ups (like the branches of the trees, shoes and Kramer as you hike, coffee cup steam, etc.) and then in-between. This provides great visual context around how you are actively engaged in the space. (And as I type this, the pastoral and coaching side of me just considered some talking points to share.)
Stunningly beautiful shots guys 😮❤ This is a great discovery, and wonderfully magical. That's one little camera and cameraman you all got 😀
Lichtenstein is not the smallest country in Europe.Vatican City is.
Ok I have to go here now.
hi, If you ever get the chance, please come visit us! I would love for you to come to my country, Bangladesh, and explore beautiful places like bandarban, thaanchi, Saint Martin's Island, debota-mokh, Tindu Bandarban, Sreemangal's tea gardens, Ratargul Swamp Forest, Kaptai Lake, Sajek Valley, and Rangamati. You can also enjoy delicious foods like Kacchi Biryani, Tehari, a variety of small fish curries and mashed dishes (borta), pitha (traditional rice cakes), and other unique cultural foods.
If you're traveling in Bangladesh, many local travel groups can help you find affordable or high-quality hotels and provide guides for a better experience.
Bangladesh has rich mix of nature, culture, unique history. 🥰
Great footage & I loved your music choices too!
Lovely and amazing shots. Love it.
As someone who has done a lot of hiking in the Alps with my huskey, i can totally understand your problem and concerns.
Something that the locals made me very keenly aware of.
Best investment when hiking are a good pair of hiking boots. Secure footing is one of the most important in this kind of terrain, especially with a dog
Yeah, it’s such an interesting country. I read all about it and how it swells with tourists but few people call it home all year around. It’s wild how it’s kept independence as such with no military and so easy to take overs
I one time I was reading for a week about all the smaller countries most people don’t know about in Europe and around there.
Def worth visiting! You’ve captured it well.
You know, I actually have never thought of your job as “glamorous” per se due to the , yes, constant hustle! It would be utterly exhausting but also so utterly soul expanding and fulfilling too. I wouldn’t want to do it now, but I love seeing you do it and we get to xp it vicariously!
I’ve read everything about Liechtenstein a few years back when on a geography wonder loop, wanting to learn more about the lesser travelled countries in Europe, but it’s still fun to hear your personal perspective on it. Is it just what you filmed or is it again another place with so little litter? Love that.
There is NO way I’d ever hike that trail ! Way too scary.
Ooh, really loving the songs from Josh Garrels.
I love your filming . You really are experts. You def put your heart and soul into your videos. Thank you.
What a bummer on that last spot! The swing twirl tied into the music so well though. Bravo!
