About Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein is one of the dwarf states of Europe, or rather a principality located on the border of Austria and Switzerland. It is a small enclave of prosperity, stability and high standard of living. In the whole country lives about 40 thousand people, in the largest city 6 thousand inhabitants. In law enforcement agencies serve only 120 employees.

Liechtenstein is situated among picturesque Alps. On the background of quiet and well-kept streets of Schaan and Vaduz mountain peaks sparkle, alpine meadows and forests are spread out. A visit to the Principality will be interesting for fans of skiing, cyclists and lovers of active holidays.

In a short period of time in Liechtenstein you can do a lot: see castles scattered among the mountains, sunbathe on comfortable beaches on the banks of the Rhine, enjoy the luxury of hotels and impeccable service.
