“Can I do a wine tasting” is met by a disappointing “No” and I am crestfallen. “But if you come back in an another hour, you can taste our full range and wines from all around Europe.” My eyes light up and then comes the most unusual addition, it’s free! I am there with bells on.
Liechtenstein is a tiny country sandwiched between Austria and Switzerland. Only 25kms long it has a population of only 38,000. It is one of th more expensive destinations on the planet and one of it’s main “industries” is being a tax haven.
On the hilltop above Vaduz is the castle still occupied by the Prince of Liechtenstein. Unfortunately the photo opportunities are marred by renovation works.
The compact little old town is a pleasant stroll.
The outskirts of Vaduz is framed by the headwaters of the iconic Rhine River. Across the border is Switzerland.
