Current Travel Situation
Denmark to Liechtenstein: What You Need to Know
Liechtenstein is a tiny principality of about 38,000 people nestled between Switzerland and Austria. It participates in the Schengen Area and maintains an open border with Switzerland, meaning entry is typically via Switzerland without any formality. Vaduz is the capital and home to the royal castle. Liechtenstein is not an EU member but uses the Swiss franc. It is one of only two doubly landlocked countries in the world and one of the wealthiest per capita.
How to Get There
The easiest access is by train or bus from Buchs (Switzerland) or Feldkirch (Austria) to Vaduz. Fly to Zurich (ZRH) from Copenhagen (CPH) with SWISS or SAS, then take a train to Buchs and bus to Vaduz (approximately 1.5 hours total from Zurich).
Money & Banking
Liechtenstein uses the Swiss Franc (CHF). The Euro is sometimes accepted at tourist venues but at unfavorable rates; use CHF. Cards are accepted at most establishments. ATMs are available in Vaduz. Prices are comparable to Switzerland, which means significantly higher than Denmark.
Practical Tips
Liechtenstein uses Swiss plugs (Type J, three-pin). A Type J adaptor is needed for Danish plugs. Voltage is 230V/50Hz. The principality is easily explored in a day from Zurich or Innsbruck. Vaduz Castle (private residence of the royal family) dominates the skyline but is not open to visitors; the surrounding grounds offer views and walking trails. The Liechtenstein National Museum in Vaduz is informative. The country is known for its stamp collection and low-tax financial sector.
