Liechtenstein is the jewel at the pulse of Europe; tucked in between Switzerland and Austria. Its stunning natural beauty can often be overlooked, despite being more than a fair match for its neighbors. The world's sixth smallest country measures just 25 km in length and 6 km in width, barely larger than Manhattan. Though it might not look like much on a map, up close it's filled with numerous hiking and cycling trails offering spectacular views of craggy cliffs, quaint villages, friendly locals, and lush green forests.

With its intrinsic links to Switzerland and low tax, Liechtenstein's population is one of the most prosperous in the world, so you won't be the only one smiling when you're there.
