Liechtenstein (i/ˈlɪktənstaɪn/; LIK-tin-styn; German: [ˈlɪçtn̩ʃtaɪn]), officially the Principality of Liechtenstein (German: Fürstentum Liechtenstein), is a doubly landlocked German-speaking microstate in Central Europe. It is a constitutional monarchy with the rank of principality, headed by the Prince of Liechtenstein.
Liechtenstein is bordered by Switzerland to the west and south and Austria to the east and north. It has an area of just over 160 square kilometres (62 square miles) and an estimated population of 37,000. Divided into 11 municipalities, its capital is Vaduz and its largest city is Triesenberg.
Economically, Liechtenstein has the third highest gross domestic product per person in the world when adjusted by purchasing power parity, after Qatar and Luxembourg, and the highest when not adjusted by purchasing power parity. The unemployment rate is one of the lowest in the world at 1.5%.
An alpine country, Liechtenstein is mainly mountainous, making it a winter sport destination. Many cultivated fields and small farms are found both in the south (Oberland, upper land) and north (Unterland, lower land). The country has a strong financial sector centered in Vaduz. Liechtenstein is a member of the European Free Trade Association, and while not being a member of the European Union, the country participates in both the Schengen Area and European Economic Area. It also has a customs union and a monetary union with Switzerland.

Liechtenstein Travel Video Guide: The Principality of Liechtenstein (German: Fürstentum Liechtenstein) is a small, alpine German-speaking country doubly landlocked by Switzerland and Austria. It is the last remnant of the Holy Roman Empire and an independent nation with very close ties to Switzerland. It enjoys a very high standard of living and is home to some incredibly beautiful mountain scenery. The principality's capital, Vaduz, is mainly a modern city and a major centre of commerce and international banking. The Principality of Liechtenstein was established within the Holy Roman Empire in 1719 and became a sovereign state in 1806. Until the end of World War I, it was closely tied to Austria, but the economic devastation caused by that conflict forced Liechtenstein to conclude a cust...

Liechtenstein Travel Guide: It's true, Liechtenstein makes a fabulous wine-and-cheese-hour trivia subject -- Did you know it was the sixth smallest country?... It's still governed by an iron-willed monarch who lives in a Gothic castle on a hill... Yes, it really is the world's largest producer of dentures... But if you're visiting this pocket-sized principality solely for the cocktail-party bragging rights, keep the operation covert. This theme-park micronation takes its independence seriously and would shudder at the thought of being considered for novelty value alone. Liechtenstein would rather be remembered for its stunning natural beauty. The Principality of Liechtenstein was established within the Holy Roman Empire in 1719 and became a sovereign state in 1806.

Once there, I see Vaduz Cathedral, Vaduz City Hall, a government building, have my passport stamped, buy a local beer and take a hike up to Vaduz Castle.

Liechtenstein, un diminuto principado situado en el corazón de Europa, es uno de los países más pequeños y al mismo tiempo más ricos del mundo. Su PIB per cápita multiplica por cinco al de España y su familia real es tan bien la más poderosa y rica de toda Europa. Considerado por muchos como un simple paraíso fiscal, este micro-estado de poco más de 36.000 habitantes cuenta con algunas de las instituciones políticas más sorprendentes y, en ciertos casos, controvertidas, de todo el continente europeo. Hoy, en VisualPolitik, analizamos estas instituciones y tratamos de explicar algunas de las peculiaridades de esta micronación. → ¡Visita nuestro canal!: http://bit.ly/1Wl5TDd → ¿Por qué SUIZA es TAN RICO?: http://bit.ly/29FyiCr → ¿Por qué a DUBÁI NO le importa el PETROLEO?: http://bit.ly...
