With no public airports in Liechtenstein, the best way to arrive in the country is to land at Zurich Airport (ZRH) in Switzerland – the closest major airport serviced by a variety of airlines and connecting all over the world. Alternatively, Friedrichshafen Airport (FDH) in Germany is smaller in stature but served by many low-cost airlines.
From there, visitors have the choice to rent a car and drive directly to the country or utilise well-patronised and reliable public transport options. The nearest train stations include Sargans and Buchs in Switzerland or Feldkirch in Austria. From there, you can use the WELCOME Adventure Pass when you stay the night in Liechtenstein.
Once inside Liechtenstein, travellers will quickly find that biking is an incredibly popular and convenient way to get around. The roads are kept in excellent condition, many of which have clearly defined bike lanes and allow cyclists to easily access the majority of the country. In fact, biking the entirety of the nation only takes a few hours and offers unparalleled views of the natural scenery.
However, as bikes are not easily rentable, the very best way to truly experience all the country has to offer is on foot or by bus. Be sure to pack some reliable walking shoes and fill up your water bottle as you traverse all of the trails and walkways that zigzag across the stunning scenery.
Luckily, there is no right or wrong time of the year to visit Liechtenstein. The country oozes charm and a sense of nostalgia, whether it’s a warm summer breeze or snowy winter evening.
From May to October, those who love hiking, sightseeing, and cycling will be bathed in sunlight and carpeted in lush greenery. For visitors who excite at the thrilling idea of winter adventures like skiing or snowboarding or even prefer curling up by a warm fireplace as snowy scenes twinkle outside, the cold months of December to March are the ideal time to explore the country.
No matter when you decide to set foot in Liechtenstein, the possibilities are endless, and you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to adventure, culture, and memories to relive time and again.
