In planning mode - how much budget should I keep in mind for Liechtenstein - any experiences?
I spent four days in Vaduz and was shocked by the prices. A simple pasta lunch was €18, and dinner with wine €40. Buses around town were €3.50 per ride, and tips always 10%. My daily spend averaged €105, and that was without splurging. Hiking in the mountains was free and stunning, which balanced things a little. For planning, €100 daily is safe for meals, transport, and tips. It’s a beautiful country, but definitely not for budget travellers.
Meals: €15-20 in cafés, €30-40 in restaurants. Transport: €3-4 buses. Tips: 10%. Safe daily budget: €90-100 for meals, buses, and tips. Groceries save money, dropping costs closer to €70. But eating out daily and sightseeing pushes it higher. Liechtenstein is tiny, so most attractions are hiking or museums, but the high food costs drive up the daily spend.
I spent €110 daily in Liechtenstein. Lunches were €15-20, dinners €30+, and transport €3-4 each ride. Tips were 10%. At this budget, I could enjoy meals in restaurants, use buses, and still afford entry fees for museums. Liechtenstein is small but very costly, so €100-120 daily is realistic for comfort. It feels similar to Switzerland in pricing, so prepare accordingly.
Liechtenstein is expensive, like Switzerland. Meals in cafés are €15-20, and restaurants €30-40. Buses within the country are efficient but €3-4 per ride. Tips are 10%. On a shoestring, €70 daily is the bare minimum, and that’s mostly eating supermarket food and limiting restaurants. Hiking is free and gorgeous, but basics are pricey. For long stays, costs mount quickly.
