Today’s destination is Liechtenstein. Liechtenstein is one of only two double landlocked countries (the other being Uzbekistan) and is also the smallest country we have covered so far on this journey.
Liechtenstein is also the first (and only) country in the world you can rent for a holiday. If only Liechtenstein had been as progressive with gender equality - women were not permitted to vote until 1986. The law only changed due to a referendum which narrowly passed with a result of 51%. Naturally, only men could vote in the referendum. I wonder how many of these men are still alive today. I really hope they’ve changed their views since...
I visited Liechtenstein back in 2017 when we were travelling through Switzerland on our way to Italy. We spent the night in a tiny Swiss village called Jenins and then drove through Liechtenstein, briefly stopping in Vaduz. I think it’s also the shortest amount of time I’ve ever spent in a country.
