Little Europe: Liechtenstein

[MrJohnboy1984]

Banking is the biggest industry there especially with banks there having low interest rates makes the country and attractive place for people to put there money in.

[saeedzeshan]

Wow small , rich , corporate oriented county I am loving it.............

[darksevar]

O.o... They all drive right side of the road!!!

[sunburnmuse]

@darksevar most of the countries in Eu drive in the right side, only in Uk and probaly Ireland use left.

[Qu1kshare]

Liechtenstein <3

[calfsonic]

how much do I have to save for going to Liechtenstein?, i live in austin.(texas)

[OfficialRJLextro]

This place looks magical....

[daniloorbolato]

awesome vid , thanks

[ChemistDrummer]

I have been to Switzerland and I really loved this country! No doubt I will like Liechtenstein too!

[PolishWingedHussar10]

@ChemistDrummer Yeah you gotta see Liechtenstein its marvelous !! I had been in liechtenstein last year on my brothers wedding and I spent there three days and I just completely fell in love with that country in the very first day :)) Worth seeing !!

[UncommittedAddict]

Shouldn't he have included Luxembourg in his list of German speaking states?

[Piya999]

@UncommittedAddict Luxembourg has developed its own language - Luxembourgish. But they can still speak German.

[wanlop46]

i want to live here, i love Australia.. but this place is so cool

[evpcuriosity]

i have always wanted my own island or little country with a maximum of 50,000 people, it would be so nice and peaceful to live with a smaller population than the average population of millions in almost all countries

[BOGZASV8MA]

@evpcuriosity I share your same aspirations....who wants to live in a country of 300 million people?

[ZackMyslinski]

Es ist "leeeschtenstine"

[rayito2005]

I enjoyed this video.

[Giratina386]

Was für ein wundervolles kleines Land! Die Sehenswürdigkeiten toll aussehen und die Leute schauen freundlich. Ich kann ohne Zweifel, dass Liechtenstein einen meiner Lieblingsplätze ist zu sagen.

[Dschland92]

Ein traumhaftes Land!!!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu eurem Staatsfeiertag heute Liechtenstein!!!

Die wahre Größe liegt im inneren und was Schönheit, Lebensstandart und Stil angheht steht Liechtenstein ganz oben auf meiner Liste

Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

[Itachi21x]

Ein wunderschönes kleines Land!

Durfte beruflich bereits 4 mal nach Liechtenstein

Ich kann es wirklich jeden empfehlen dem kleinen Land zwischen der Schweiz und Österreich mal einen Besuch abzustatten :)

Grüße aus Deutschland

[junkers1337]

You really can walk the width of the country, its crazy!

[MrSpemat]

their dialekt is hard to understand...

[MadLiechtensteiner]

Looking forward to my imminent return. The Mouse that Roared indeed. You've gotta admire a people and country that take care of themselves and don't ask for outside help!

[skyhawk431]

Leichtenstein: giving hope to micronations everywhere.

[MrJohnboy1984]

Looks like a beautiful country, with it's very small population stability and high standards of living it's a very quiet very safe and very peaceful country, wouldn't mind going there someday to visit, it has a very low crime rate and is very clean, no rubbish no litter no graffiti no gangs and no pollution that many other western countries are full of such as United States United Kingdom Australia Canada New Zealand Germany France Netherlands etc ( continued )

[petitanglais]

@MrJohnboy1984 This is true, but after three days you will be bored stiff. Aside from the scenery, there is little to do and, as with all wealthy towns and cities, the people are not exactly welcoming. A few days is all you will ever need there.

[YesIamEccentric]

Liechtenstein will soon buy the world.

[meatisdeliciouse]

Doesnt this country have a navy, even though it doubly landlocked? Many land locked countries have navies, do they not?

[prjerry7]

@meatisdeliciouse They dont need it & if they had one their man-power would render it useless, militarely their crap. This country is just a sector for the rish, its like Luxembourg in Europe, Brunei in Äsia & Dubai, UAE & Qatar in the middle east [Qatar is the wealthiest nation per capita on earth]. Small countries for rish people made to keep the wealth inside, if they had 2 recruiters for armed forces id be surpriced!

[petitanglais]

@meatisdeliciouse It's protected by the Swiss army and navy.

[savioblanc]

@petitanglais - the Swiss have a navy? I didnt know that

[meatisdeliciouse]

I love Europe, thats why the rest of the world is so desperate to get here all the time.

[jkirk1626]

@meatisdeliciouse Funny. America & Canada have multiples more immigrant despite having 10s of millions fewer people than the eu -- origins of fascism & communism. Britain is not part of Europe; Europe didn't catch up to Anglo-Saxons ever. They didn't manage to industrialize (copy Brit know-how) for more than 50 years.

[petitanglais]

@jkirk1626 Britain's origins are as European as any other - a mongrel nation of Vikings (Danish and Norwegian, the former Danelaw), Normans (now part of present day France), Saxons (now part of the FRG), Celts (from Central and Eastern Europe or even beyond) and so on. America and Canada are countries based purely on immigration - so everyone is an immigrant or descendent of immigrants. Native populations there are minute.

[MasterAsra]

@jkirk1626 More people end up going to Europe for vacations than America. Also immigration is much higher if you go by total population versus number of immigrants, if that's what you're talking about. Also funny that you say Europe is the birthplace of fascism and communism, since it's also the birthplace of Republics and Democracies.

[Mechanized0]

@MasterAsra Europe is the birthplace of many things, both positive and otherwise. Perhaps the most influential peoples in history in many respects.

[mojoefly]

beautiful country. hope to visit one day,

[librecasilda]

why I born in south america god? why? hahahahaha

[solunasunrise]

was ? in lichtenstein spricht man deutsch ?? ^^

[CruSherFL]

@solunasunrise Liechtenstein (mit 'ie')

Eigentlich sprechen wir ja den Liechtensteiner Dialekt (gibt 3 typen davon: Unterländerisch, Oberländerisch und Bergerisch)

[newcomer9747]

with the 2nd highest gdp per capita in the world, you would think you wouldn't see a car like that in 1:39

[Airox2009]

@newcomer9747

That`s because that Renault has a German license plate from Munich LOL!

[newcomer9747]

@Hanftee3000 wow really? how's the economy and cost of living over there like?

[dombrecht1]

hermoso lugar...mi sueño seria vacacionar el Liechtenstein.Desde niño me gusto su naturaleza y su ciudad perfectamente cuidada..es un lugar de ensueños..Viva Liechtenstein the perfect place.

[Israellllllll]

seems like a perfect place for a good and deep sleep

[iloveroxasaxeldemyx]

It's funny, Hetalia Axis Powers brought me here...

I was searching for the character Liechtenstein. XD

But man, after watching this, the country seems awesome sauce. I really love the beauty of European countries. Small, but not as small as Sealand!! X'D

[iBumi]

wow. it's beautiful *.*

i wish, i will there someday.

anyone here from Liechtenstein?

[littlefuzzer]

I was an NCAA wrestling champion in college,and played 2 seasons in the NFL. When asked by kids and parents what shows and sporting events I enjoy...I tell them that Rick Steeves Europe is by far my favorite show and I TVO it when I am at work.You should see their faces.At first it's a look of bewilderment,and then they ask me who Rick Steeves is.Some people say "Yeah..that blond haired happy guy",and other just don't get it.My wife and kids look at me like I am nuts for be such a huge fan.

[overmind2]

I know German, if I had enough money I would live there :)

[Z7frankZ7]

@junevi2000 indeed. Because of the king :) He raises himself the Product per Capita by minimum of 30 000$ because of the small population (35000), which is awesome :P

1b - +30000

2b - +60000

3b - +90000

Liectsteinstein looks like a very nice country (to visit) :P

I always been fascinated by middle age history.

[ivo31sf]

I was there the summer of 2009 splendid place.Nice video...

[kentaur41]

RAJ NA ZEMLJI

[zahaj]

Am thinking of moving there too as i am fed up with European Unions freedom limitations, and i love monutains!! :D

[junevi2000]

Liechtenstein is the richest country in the world if you consider its Gross Domestic Product per Capita.

[Z7frankZ7]

@junevi2000 indeed. Because of the king :) He raises himself the Product per Capita by minimum of 30 000$ because of the small population (35000), which is awesome :P

1b - +30000

2b - +60000

3b - +90000

Liectsteinstein looks like a very nice country :P

I always been fascinated by middle age history.

[md991free]

@junevi2000 It is also the prefer place, along with Singapore where wealthy people hide their massive wealth,

I would not be surprise if the just deposed president of Egypt has money there.

Having said that, it is a beautiful country ruled by a billionaire Prince who actually have power.

[newcomer9747]

@md991free why do you think singapore is tax haven?

[PcolaSteve4234]

I have been there. It is beautiful.

[DavithRedway]

Beautiful. I wanna live there.

[MellyRisch]

1:07 ---- <3 eh z gailscht!!

[KyleClarkUSA]

Wow, imagine only living 5 miles away from your grand prince and a billionaire.

[ronoc9]

I just heard about this place and it looks lovely. Only 35,000 people for a population, thats the same as my home town! wow

[MerchantofTarshish]

that country is WAY too good to be true

[ShajrinPoedi123]

im proud to live in liechtenstein :)

[MellyRisch]

@ShajrinPoedi123 and soo am i :P

[WJHHunterston]

I visited there in 1983 stationed in Germany...a great place. We saw several countries from 1 mountain peak.

[freezen255]

I always wanted to travel there. And now I want even more. It seem s so beutiful - hiking in those mountines.

[SPFTJN09]

Is Liechtenstein still the richest country in Europe? Just curious!

[reti2000]

@SPFTJN09 wiki says: it's hard to say because most of the people who work in liechtenstein don't live there.

2007 the gdp was 88'000 euro per person, that would be about second place after luxemburg.

[marice80]

@SPFTJN09 yes still the richest country in europe

[Shalek]

Sounds like a little paradise. 

[gammypetra]

What a beautiful place. No bigger than my county it's so much better than my surroundings. Is it, that we just don't take pride in our places anymore? We just don't care? I love Switzerland, visited there many, many times with my aunt and I once zipped through Liechtenstein. Fantastic, glorious. Makes you feel close to God.

[Hadlich000]

A dream.

[silhofn1]

i was there 2 months ago. stayed there for 3 hours and fell in love with this country! so clean, so rich and so beatiful. everythings seems to be at right place.

i will return soon in liechtenstein.

liechtensteiner vaterland. cool newspapers. also was in mcdonalds. at schwiz wuch.

i just did not believe that this is free and independent state.

soon ill be back. but for a 3 days or more!

[vaduzcrew]

love this beautiful country. Even made my email name with its capital city.

[Nowl8]

great country, the bad side is it doesnt have many people, the capital 5 thousand??? say hello to gossipers.

[CruSherFL]

@Nowl8 btw Schaan has got more people than Vaduz (the capital)

[mechatech70]

@Nowl8 Hey, whoever said bigger was better never visited Lichtenstein.

[skeptikulo]

I can't believe those places really exist... It's a dream!

[Zudi95]

wohoo i live in liechtenstein :D

it's really beautiful here (:

[Thejaycefish]

It's so beautiful there! I wish one day I can visit that place :)

[Norskebanan]

Such a shame property is almost entirely closed to foreigners. :|

[u1b2]

@Norskebanan

i actually think it's a great thing; it preserves the authenticity of the place.

[mattador2792]

0:53 mullet!!

[ghostpos]

[xarielchan]

[xSwitzerland4ever]
