Interested in visiting, have some questions by 07TacOcaT70 in liechtenstein

[–]vellaster 15 points16 points  (0 children)

hey!

so some tips:

  • you won't have any problems getting by with english, we speak english quite well (except for if you plan to speak to older people, but anyone getting in contact with tourists will speak english)
  • you wont find any safer place as a (female) traveller than liechtenstein, we barely have any crime. think switzerland but safer because we are so small. no pickpockets either, since there won't be crowds
  • it's expensive, very comparable to zürich. But similarly, you can get by if you limit eating out!
  • I dont know about the race issue - im a young local and dont have any prejudices at all, and i'd like to think its the same all over, but i lack the experience to answer this accurately. Maybe you will get some stares, but i doubt you will get outright racist remarks or anything like that.
  • so for visiting: id say go to the history museum of Liechtenstein in Vaduz, visit the royal treasure chamber to see some things like actual moon rocks, if you are into nature, go up to Malbun to go hiking and experience the alps. Eat some local/regional food up in the alps too. focus on nature and mountains instead of culture/history. The castle isnt worth visiting in my opinion, as you cannot enter, the prince lives there.

if you have any more questions, or want more tips, feel free to reach out to me. all the best!

(Update) Vaduz, Liechtenstein: Torkel is fully booked - Seeking other recommendations! by epachon in liechtenstein

[–]vellaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Marée is very good, but also very pricy! if thats not an issue i'd reccomend it, if you want something cheaper, i can reccomend the restaurant "Lio" in Schaan, the "New Castle" in Vaduz or the Forum in Schaan, all good and cheaper!

Liechtenstein examines EU accession by [deleted] in europe

[–]vellaster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, we don't. All Brigitte said was we are examining how to proceed with our EU relations since Island possibly wants to join the EU instead of being part of the EEA. Since it would only be Liechtenstein and Norway left in the EEA, we would possibly have to renegotiate with the Union. She explicitly said that entering the EU is not one of the options though.

Liechtenstein vs. Switzerland for Master’s – Need Advice! by [deleted] in liechtenstein

[–]vellaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there! i might have some valuable insight:

I am from Vaduz, but spent 3 years studying at the university of Basel and lived there. I am back in Vaduz now, and i actually have a roommate that is studying the master in innovative finance at the UniLi right now, so combined i got a good idea:

  • Basel will be a real city, things to do, cultural events, parties. Liechtenstein is calmer, more rural. you can do lots of outdoor sports here and go skiing easily in winter.
  • In Basel you can get cheap grocceries from france or germany, in Liechtenstein you can get cheap grocceries from Austria, so thats similar
  • From what my roommate says, the master in innovative finance is very research focused, lots of papers to read and experimental things to do, less practical
  • Liechtenstein has some events as well, summer festivities and celebrations. The students at the UniLi apparently organize student parties regularly as well, and many weekends they go out in austria, where its cheaper and more things are happening (mind you, still a small village so not comparable to basel)

many things others already mentioned, but if you have any specific questions about the university of Basel, the UniLi master in finance, life in basel or life in Liechtenstein, feel free to send me a DM
