Default Trying to add in Liechtenstein...

Hey all! I am in the midst of planning a 5-week backpacking journey through Europe for this coming late May-end of June. I am planning on visiting the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland and the Czech Republic for certain, in that order, and am researching transportation (railpasses, etc.). I will probably do a 3-country pass, since Czech Rep isn't adjacent to Switzerland...

My problem is, I would like to add Liechtenstein between Switzerland the Czech Republic, and am running into complications on how to find the best transportation to get from that area to Prague. Looks like my best bet is to go back to Switzerland, and to Prague from there...has anyone on here been to Liechtenstein? How did you get there and back? Do you remember which stations you used? Would love any advice as RailEurope doesn't have any data on rail fares in Liechtenstein and bus station sites tend to be in other languages...Thank you!

It looks like you can either do that... or going from Buchs in Switzerland you can take the train to Schaan-Vaduz in Liechtenstein (and then a bus to the capital Vaduz), From Schaan-Vaduz you would take the train through Austria to Czech Republic. The train from Liechtenstein connects to Feldkirch in Austria which is west of Innsbruck.

Depending on price, it may just be easier to go back to Switzerland and then on to Czech Rep.

Haven't been there, but it's definitely small, I hear they sell stamps as an export.

Thanks Sijuki, I wasn't even sure there was a train station close to the Vaduz area. My only fear is that a train from Switzerland to Prague would end up being expensive, so I'm looking into flights as well...

Yeah, lots of tourists apparently like to go to Liechtenstein just for the souvenir passport stamp! I think it would be fun to visit one of the micro countries and really hope I can make it work.
