Liechtenstein — The Dispatches

Vaduz

The pocket-sized capital of Liechtenstein — one of only two countries on earth that's doubly landlocked, walled off from the sea by two more landlocked countries. The prince still lives in the castle on the crag above town; below it, a single pedestrian street of galleries and cafés, the Rhine path running through, and Alps on every side. A whole country you can walk across.
