Current Travel Situation
Slovenia to Liechtenstein: What You Need to Know
Liechtenstein is the world's sixth-smallest country and uniquely doubly landlocked. For Slovenian travellers it is most often a brief detour en route to or from Switzerland: the Vaduz capital is 90 km from Zurich and 240 km from Ljubljana via Austria. The tiny principality is an absolute monarchy ruled by the Princely House of Liechtenstein, which also owns substantial estates in Lower Austria and has historical connections to the Habsburg lands bordering Slovenia. The Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein and a royal wine estate in Vaduz are the cultural highlights.
How to Get There
Vaduz Castle (exterior, perched above the city), the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein (contemporary art in a striking black concrete building), the Liechtenstein National Museum, the Postage Stamp Museum (Liechtenstein was historically famous for postal issues), and the Prince's wine estate cellar. Malbun ski village in the Alps above Vaduz offers modest family-friendly skiing.
Money & Banking
Liechtenstein uses the Swiss franc (CHF). Prices are very high, reflecting Swiss living standards. Day-tripping from Zurich or Feldkirch keeps costs manageable. Credit cards are widely accepted.
Practical Tips
Vaduz has no train station; reach it by bus from Buchs SG (Switzerland, 10 minutes) or Feldkirch (Austria, 20 minutes). Ljubljana to Vaduz is approximately 4 hours via the A2 through Austria (Klagenfurt, Villach, Bregenz). The Rhine cycle path passes through Liechtenstein and links to Swiss and Austrian cycling networks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Slovenian citizens need a visa for Liechtenstein?
No. Liechtenstein is a Schengen member. Slovenian citizens can enter Liechtenstein freely via Switzerland or Austria using a passport or national ID card.
What currency does Liechtenstein use?
Liechtenstein uses the Swiss franc (CHF). As of 2025, EUR 1 is approximately CHF 0.94. Prices reflect Swiss cost levels and are very high.
How do I get to Vaduz from Ljubljana?
Drive via the A2 motorway through Villach, Innsbruck, and Bregenz (Austria) to Feldkirch, then take the bus to Vaduz (20 minutes). Total journey is approximately 4-4.5 hours. Vaduz has no train station.
Is Liechtenstein worth a dedicated trip or just a day visit?
For most travellers, a day visit combined with a Swiss or Austrian trip is the most practical approach. The capital Vaduz can be comfortably explored in half a day: the Kunstmuseum, National Museum, the stamp museum, and the castle viewpoint. Malbun ski village and Rhine cycling justify a longer stay.
What is unique about Liechtenstein?
Liechtenstein is one of only two doubly landlocked countries in the world (surrounded by landlocked countries: Switzerland and Austria). It is a constitutional monarchy, one of the world's wealthiest per capita, a significant financial centre, and the only country named after the family that purchased it (the Princely House of Liechtenstein bought the territory in 1712).
Can I get a souvenir passport stamp in Liechtenstein?
Yes. The Tourist Information Office in Vaduz (Stadttle 37) offers a decorative souvenir passport stamp for CHF 3. It is not an official immigration stamp (Liechtenstein is Schengen) but is popular with passport collectors.
What wine does Liechtenstein produce?
The Princely Estate of Liechtenstein (Hofkellerei des Fursten von Liechtenstein) produces wine from 4 hectares of terraced vineyards above Vaduz. The main varieties are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The estate winery in Vaduz offers tastings and sales. Liechtenstein wine is produced in tiny quantities and rarely exported; tasting it here is the only practical opportunity.
