Knowing the best time to visit Liechtenstein will help you make your plans ahead when visiting this cool German-speaking country flanked by Switzerland and Austria. This small, landlocked country enjoys the a high standard of living, despite its size and is home to some of the most breath-taking natural attractions and landscapes in the world.
Liechtenstein has a continental climate with cold and cloudy winters with frequent rain and snow and mild summers which are moderately warm to cool.
Knowing the best time to visit Liechtenstein would greatly depend on what you plan to do in the country.
Skiing and winter sports enthusiasts are better off visiting between December and April, during the peak of the winter season. Christmas is even more spectacular with all of the lights on many of the homes at night. But when April arrives, most ski resorts will begin to close down as the snow melts to prepare for summer.
But do be warned: winter time means more people, which translates to higher accommodation costs. So it’s wise to save up for a ski trip to Liechtenstein early on and book flights and accommodations early to avoid the rush.
Off season may also offer perks to budget-wise travellers. Off season falls in summer, from April to November and prices of accommodations often drop during this time of the year. But if you have no plans on skiing or indulging in winter sports, this may be the best time to visit Liechtenstein for you, where you can enjoy touring the capital, Vaduz, and seeing the sites, or indulging in mountain climbing, hiking and trekking.
But still bring a light coat or a light jacket with you. Summers in Liechtenstein may still be cool thanks to the country’s continental climate. Other than that, enjoy the balmy weather without having to bother with thick, winter coats and layering on clothes!
