To refer to Liechtenstein as an Alpine San Marino would be quite wide of the mark. Perhaps the Swiss don't smoke enough to need somewhere cheap to buy their fags. Perhaps they don't tax them very much in the first place. Or perhaps they are just fitter as the only place I saw loudly promoting it's tax free shopping was a huge branch of Decathlon.Liechtenstein is large enough to have several villages, a Castle, a vineyard, and an International Art Museum, all of which nestle at the bottom of Liechtenstein's very own Alp.
It is also small enough that tourists have to form a queue at the border for the best shot of the national flag.
My afternoon there was fairly uneventful... I had a nice lunch in the main square. The Duke's wine cellar is available to tour but it was closed. I spent an hour trapped inside an art installation in the Gallery and that was Liechtenstein.
