It wouldn't be easy to find another stretch of land that offers such a cultural and natural variety as Liechtenstein. Yet this small country, squeezed between Austria and Switzerland, is better known to international bankers than tourists.
The visitors who do go can enjoy the natural beauty and the surprisingly vivid cultural scene of Liechtenstein. There is hiking in the mountains in summer, skiing in winter and wine tasting in the fall. The prince's prime art collection, which is housed in a sleek modern museum, is worth a visit any time of year.
Liechtensteiners enjoy the highest per-capita income in all of Europe, and although they do depend on their neighbors Austria and Switzerland, they love their sovereignty. The country is a stable democracy, yet its people have recently voted a few extra powers to the prince.
The capital is a surprise to most visitors. Vaduz is small, but it doesn't really look quaint -- it is marked by modern architecture, banks and office buildings. Visitors will find relief from harsh lines in the picturesque medieval castle and the fact that the mountains are only a few minutes away.

<b>Liechtenstein </b>
Size--61.78 sq. mi. (160.01 sq. km.). Population--24,000.
Nestled in Central Europe between Austria and Switzerland, Liechtenstein was established in its present form in 1719 when the territory was purchased by the princely House of Liechtenstein. Liechtenstein distinguishes itself by being the only independent country outside the Arab world in which women are not allowed to vote or to participate in public affairs. This tradition was broken once in 1968 when women were allowed to vote along with the men in a consultative poll to determine if women should be allowed to vote in national elections. The proposal was rejected.
