How to get there:
By plane: Liechtenstein has no airports due to the size of the country. You can take a flight to the Zurich Airport (115 km). Although the airport was the only major airport near Liechtenstein, there were some limited services from Vienna to St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport (53 km) by Austrian Arrows. There was also a private airport in Bad Ragaz, very near the country.

By train: ÖBB, the Austrian federal railway company, has been continually providing a limited service from Buchs SG station in Switzerland, to the Schaan-Vaduz station near Schaan. Trains only run a few times a day.

By car: Swiss highway A13/E34 runs along the Swiss side of the Rhine river, the border between Switzerland and Liechtenstein. There are a couple of bridges into Vaduz from Switzerland. Parking spaces are relatively easy to come by. There is also a parking garage located on the main street of Vaduz. Drive carefully on some of the winding mountain roads!

Weather: Liechtenstein has a continental climate featuring cold, cloudy winters with frequent snow or rain, making the country a moderately popular ski destination. Summers are cool to moderately warm, also often cloudy and humid.

Travel Documentation and Custom Duty: Liechtenstein maintains a complete customs union with Switzerland and hence does not issue its own visas: if you can enter Switzerland, you can enter Liechtenstein, and there are no border formalities needed for crossing between the two countries. In essence there is nothing more than a sign announcing your arrival in Switzerland or Liechtenstein, similar to the situation at smaller border crossing in many EU nations, (Austria/Germany/France/Italy etc.)
