    CELEBRATED SETS

    Liechtenstein is a rare echo of an older Europe; one split up into dozens of duchies, free cities, kingdoms and principalities. It is still run by a Crown Prince whose family have been in charge since 1699, but who didn’t actually live there till 1938.

    Liechtenstein (capital Vaduz) is located in the Upper Rhine Valley, bordered by Austria and Switzerland and occupying 62 square miles of stunning alpine scenery. Most people speak an Alemannic dialect of German, as well as German itself.

    Thanks to its financial services sector, Liechtenstein is the second-richest country in the world where the number of companies exceeds the population of just under 39,000. It’s also a major centre for winter sports, and the world’s largest exporter of false teeth.
