A whole country, and an honest answer about it.
What is actually there, and what it is best joined to.
The honest answer comes first. Liechtenstein is a principality you can drive across between one coffee and the next, and people go because it is a country, not because it is a sight. Treat it as a half day and it is a pleasure. Give it a full one and you will be checking your watch by lunch.
- Duration
- Half a day. We say so on the phone too, and we would rather say it than sell the other version.
- Pickup
- Zurich hotel, east up the Rhine valley. The border arrives without ceremony.
- Group size
- Your party alone. One private driver, no waiting for anyone.
- Season
- Warm months for the valley and the vines. Winter only if the mountain above it is the reason you are going.
People ask about Liechtenstein in a particular tone. Half curious, half embarrassed to be asking. It is a fair question and it deserves a straight answer rather than a brochure, so here is one.
Written about this day
This is one of the two honest half days among the day trips from Zurich, and it shares its road east with Appenzell.
