Great news! Spain passport holders can enter Liechtenstein without a visa for tourism or business purposes. You can stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period.

Culture & Travel Tips
Best Time to Visit
June to September for hiking with pleasant temperatures (20-25°C). December to March for skiing. The country is beautiful year-round but compact enough for a day trip any season.
Cultural Notes
Despite its size, Liechtenstein maintains a distinct identity. The princely family still resides in Vaduz Castle. German is spoken. The country has more registered companies than citizens. Traditional customs are maintained.
Insider Tips
Liechtenstein uses the Swiss Franc (CHF) - bring cash as not everywhere accepts cards. The country is tiny (25km long) and easily explored in a day from Zurich or Switzerland. Get your passport stamped at the tourist office for a souvenir.
