Current Travel Situation
Monaco to Liechtenstein: What You Need to Know
Liechtenstein is a doubly-landlocked principality between Switzerland and Austria, a fellow European microstate, and a Schengen/EEA member. Monaco citizens share Schengen free movement with Liechtenstein, making travel between the two principalities completely unrestricted - a unique connection between Europe's smallest sovereign states.
How to Get There
Switzerland and Austria are neighboring countries accessible visa-free and natural partners for a visit to Liechtenstein, as both are typically transit countries for getting there.
Money & Banking
Liechtenstein uses the Swiss Franc (CHF), not the Euro. However, many businesses in Liechtenstein accept Euros at a set rate. Carry CHF for local transactions. Liechtenstein is expensive, comparable to Switzerland.
Practical Tips
Liechtenstein is tiny (25 km long) but has excellent hiking in the Rhine Valley, the capital Vaduz with its hillside castle, and world-class stamp collections. The country offers a unique combination of Alpine scenery and microstate curiosity. Liechtenstein does not have its own airports or train stations - enter via Switzerland (Sargans or Buchs) or Austria.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Monaco citizens need a visa for Liechtenstein?
No. Both Monaco and Liechtenstein are part of the Schengen Area. Monaco citizens can visit Liechtenstein visa-free with no border controls or advance authorization required.
What currency does Liechtenstein use?
Liechtenstein uses the Swiss Franc (CHF), as it is in a currency and customs union with Switzerland. Euros are widely accepted in many shops and restaurants, but CHF is the official currency.
How does a Monaco citizen get to Liechtenstein?
There are no airports or train stations in Liechtenstein itself. Enter from Switzerland via Sargans or Buchs train stations (with bus connections to Vaduz), or drive from Switzerland or Austria. From Monaco, the journey takes about 5 to 6 hours by car or train via Zurich.
What is there to see in Liechtenstein?
Vaduz Castle (home of the Prince, viewable from outside), the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein (contemporary art), the National Museum, the Rhine Valley scenery, and hiking and skiing in the Alpine areas around Malbun are the main attractions.
Is Liechtenstein worth visiting for Monaco citizens?
Yes - visiting Liechtenstein is a unique experience, especially as Monaco citizens know what it is like to live in a microstate. Collecting a Liechtenstein passport stamp (available for a small fee at the tourist office in Vaduz) is a popular souvenir.
Is Liechtenstein expensive?
Yes. Liechtenstein has a similar cost of living to Switzerland, meaning prices are high by European standards. Accommodation options are limited - many visitors stay in neighboring Swiss towns. Monaco citizens accustomed to high prices will find it comparable.
How long can Monaco citizens stay in Liechtenstein?
Up to 90 days within any 180-day Schengen period. Days in other Schengen countries on the same trip count toward this collective limit.
