    i visited here in September, from Zurich it is onlt around 90 minutes by train. People make the mistake of just going to Vaduz then leaving, on their way to SWI/AUT. I spent two days here, and overnight stayed in Triesenberg. I will never forget it, it was beautiful and peaceful. Malbun is great for the views and cablecar, also go to Balzers, great castle there!! Liechtenstein is amazing, thankyou for the memories..

    I always wanted to go there just because I like obscure places, and last week, I made it come true. It was actually worth visiting. It was a cold December day -- we did a little shopping, had a nice lunch, and drove high up to the ski hill. Beautiful views of the Alps and we took some great photos. If you happen to be in the area, as I was, it's worth a detour. Very nice atmosphere (actually makes Switzerland look a bit dumpy -- ha ha).

      Zaiman Syahzmi They speak an Upper (High) German dialect: Alemannic (similar to Swiss German). Their official language is (Standard) German. All people in German speaking countries learn Standard German in school. So even if their main language of communication is a dialect (as always in Switzerland and often in South Germany and Austria) they can all speak (Standard) German.

I even met the "Fuerst" when I was 4 years old when visiting the " Burg Lichtenstein" My grany shopped in Schaanwald as it was closer to do so living in Tisis / Austria on foot as using the bus driving into Feldkirch. Try to drive up as far as one can do so past the castle, trough the tunnel and up close to the Silveretta - a valley one can think it is paradise is also the end of the road. To see the flora and fauna is worth the drive.

    • @justafeather4630

      Sp, first of all, "Retroroman German" is not a language. This does not exist anywhere on this planet. Secondly, the language we speak is an alemannic dialect of German. It has nothing to do with any romance language and fully belongs to a subordinate part of Germanic.
