Sometimes the road to a vacation takes us to an alpine principality. So it’s worth knowing what the current prices are in Liechtenstein, and is it worth stopping there to shop?
Liechtenstein’s currency
The principality is such a microscopic state that it does not have its own currency. It has been in monetary union with Switzerland since 1924 and uses the Swiss franc, so all prices in stores are quoted in that currency.

Gasoline price in Liechtenstein
Also important for drivers is the price of gasoline, currently averaging CHF 1.78 per liter of 95, equivalent to €1.885 per liter. It is one of the highest fuel prices in the world and is higher even than in neighboring Switzerland.
Roaming in Liechtenstein
The Principality is included in the basic roaming package in the offers of Polish telephone operators. However, it is worth remembering that this is a country with a very small area, and at any time the phone can log on to the Swiss network, where charges are much higher.
The problem of high fees can be circumvented by buying a roaming package for all of Europe or Switzerland from the service Airalo .
