Alright, so I decided I was gonna try to “fly to Liechtenstein”. I put it in quotes because, well, you can’t actually fly directly into Liechtenstein. They don’t have their own airport! It’s a tiny country, you know?
First things first, I had to figure out where to fly to. I did a little digging – actually, a lot of digging. Turns out, the closest major airport is Zurich Airport (ZRH) in Switzerland. That makes sense, since Liechtenstein is nestled right next to Switzerland and Austria.
So, I booked a flight to Zurich. Easy peasy. Got a decent price, too. It was a direct flight which saved some headache.
Getting from Zurich to Liechtenstein
Once I landed in Zurich, I had to figure out how to actually get to Liechtenstein. It’s not like I could just hop on another plane.
I checked out a few options:
- Train: This seemed like the most popular and probably the easiest way.
- Bus: There are buses, but the train seemed more convenient, schedule-wise.
- Rental Car: I considered this, but I didn’t want the hassle of driving in a new country, figuring out parking, and all that jazz.
- Taxi: It is gonna be costly. I am a budget blogger.
I went with the train. I mean, who doesn’t love a good scenic train ride? I found out that I needed to get to a town called Sargans, which is right on the Swiss-Liechtenstein border. There are frequent trains from Zurich Airport to Sargans, so it was pretty straightforward.
I bought a train ticket at the airport – there are these ticket machines everywhere, and they’re pretty easy to use, even if you don’t speak German. The train ride itself was beautiful. We passed by mountains, lakes… the whole nine yards. Seriously, Switzerland is gorgeous.
Once I arrived in Sargans, I hopped on a local bus that goes across the border into Liechtenstein. It was a short ride, maybe 15-20 minutes, and before I knew it, I was in Vaduz, the capital of Liechtenstein!
So, yeah, that’s how I “flew” to Liechtenstein. It involved a flight to Zurich, a train to Sargans, and a bus to Vaduz. It sounds a bit complicated, but it was actually a pretty smooth process. I took lots of photos, I made it.
