Is Liechtenstein an expensive country?

Well, Liechtenstein is a pretty expensive country so it doesn't really do 'budget' (especially compared to other countries). Still, the Schaan-Vaduz Youth Hostel is relatively affordable and perfectly suited for those who may be tight on money.



Yes, Liechtenstein is considered one of the most expensive countries in the world to visit, with a cost of living that often exceeds even its neighbor, Switzerland. Because it uses the Swiss Franc (CHF) and shares a customs union with Switzerland, prices for food, accommodation, and services are very high. A basic meal at an inexpensive restaurant can easily cost $25–$30, and a mid-range hotel room in the capital, Vaduz, typically starts at $200 per night. However, there are ways to manage costs: public transportation within the country is relatively affordable, and many of the best activities—such as hiking the stunning Alpine trails or viewing the exterior of Gutenberg Castle—are free. Most tourists visit Liechtenstein as a day trip from Zurich or Innsbruck to save on the high cost of overnight stays. If you plan to dine out and visit museums, expect a daily budget of at least $150 to $200 per person for a moderate experience.
