Liechtenstein is one of the world's smallest countries and one of its most charming, a fairytale Alpine principality wedged between Switzerland and Austria, crowned by a hilltop castle above the Rhine.
Despite its size, it delivers outsized soft adventure: the 75km Liechtenstein Trail links all its villages, while high mountain paths around Malbun reward hikers with panoramic views.
A prosperous, seamlessly connected microstate, it's a delightful slow-travel add-on to any Alpine trip, walkable, welcoming and easily explored in a couple of unforgettable days.
