Vaduz's tourist office offers a novelty passport stamp — the perfect excuse for a quick overnight stop in the capital while ticking off one of Europe's smallest countries.
A little tradition known to country-collecting travellers: for a few Swiss francs, Vaduz's tourist office will stamp your passport with a souvenir marking one of the world's smallest states. It isn't a real visa — Liechtenstein is part of the Schengen area — but it's a symbolic gesture much loved by micro-state enthusiasts. It's the perfect excuse for a one-night stopover in Vaduz or Schaan: enough time to grab the stamp, stroll the pedestrian centre and sleep here rather than pushing on into Switzerland or Austria. The hotels selected here are all central, a few minutes' walk from the tourist office, ideal for ticking Liechtenstein off the list without losing time.
