Liechtenstein
A country with 30,000 population. Probably 90, 95% of the world population has no idea about this word, about this country. But I knew it, and I also knew that I wanted to go there and see it by myself. As I said in my previous Zurich post, I left early in the morning from Zurich for Liechtenstein. There they don’t have any fast train connections, so I had to switch to local trains and arrive in Liechtenstein in that way.
Later I figured out that they only have one train stop in that country, and that is not in the capital. They have 2 relatively larger towns which are Schaan and Vaduz. Vaduz is also the capital, but it is smaller than Schaan and Schaan has the only train stop in the country.
I got off in Schaan. I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere. Instead of a train station, they had a Tourist Information. I guess, before they had lots of confused tourists, so they made something like that. So, I asked the two girls sitting there how I could get to Vaduz and they told me to take the bus number something, I did that. Well, I think I was lucky. Because they speak German there. So, I had no problems with the language. The possible problem when you go to a small country is the language. You may have problems when you want to buy something and talk to the driver of the bus you want to get on.
So I got on the bus I was supposed to get on, and got to Vaduz. It was like 15, 20 minutes of bus drive away from Schaan. There was almost nothing to see there. It is really small. I found a couple of souvenir shops and some other buildings and that was it. Yeah, I didn’t have much time to walk around, but still I think that it wouldn’t be that different. I took some pictures and bought some souvenirs and I took another bus to get to Feldkirch, a town on the other side of the Liechtenstein-Austria border.
They use Swiss Francs there, and I had about 3 Francs left and I just wished the bus ticket was going to be less than that amount and yeah my wish came true. I could buy the ticket and get to Feldkirch, from where I could take a fast train and get to Vienna.
