Next, we venture north to Liechtenstein, a quaint principality enveloped by the Alpine mountains. With a population of about 35,000, the nation thrives on its status as a tax haven, drawing in businesses and individuals seeking favorable economic conditions.
Steves highlights the rich heritage of the Liechtenstein family, whose influence has been etched into the country’s identity since the Middle Ages. A visit to Vaduz, the capital, reveals a blend of modernity and tradition—a reflection of how the principality has blossomed post-World War II, transforming from a backwater into a vibrant tourist destination.
