- In today's episode, we bring you along on our trip to the fascinating micro state of Liechtenstein. Despite its size, there is a lot to uncover here, and as you'll see we had a thing or two to say about it...

From the castle and beautiful nature to the charming city of Vaduz, Liechtenstein had a lot to offer for its size. Make sure to watch the whole way through to see everything that happened!

We are Oskar & Dan, two boys from Sweden who decided to change the course of our lives, drop out of university and live life full-time. We're planning to visit every country in the world before we're 30 with an initial goal of 100 before we turn 25. By the time of posting this video, we're both 24 :)
Liechtenstein was country #70/197🌍
Liechtenstein was one of the stops on our Switzerland trip. We'd been looking forward to this trip for so long, having planned and postponed it many times due to the changing world situation. We were so happy to finally be able to go, and Liechtenstein sure was worth the detour!
On our Switzerland trip, we also visited Zürich, Interlaken, St. Moritz, Zermatt, Bern, Lucerne, and other places. Check out our other videos from the trip to see more!

Thank you for watching!🙏😍
I just discovered your channel this weekend and am obsessed. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Welcome here!🙌😍
Great videos as always.
Re the strawberry being "tasteless": when picking wild berries from the ground level exactly along a sidewalk, you run a considerable risk of them possibly having been peed on by dogs or other animals. Just a thought universal to most countries in the world ...
Funfact: the football team Vaduz plays in the swiss league
But they are not possible to be swiss champion and are not aloud to play in international trough league qualification because they are in the Lichtenstein cup and they win it mostly every year so they can play in Europe Qualifiquation every year. 😉
Funfact 2: the swiss invaded lichtenstein once by mistake.
More than once
@@einmensch3839 really? Ok i don't know that. Thx
@@yanikmuller6043
Wait does it count as invasion if they only shoot on Liechtenstein by mistake? It happened in the 80's and once they walked in Liechtenstein with weapons by mistake. That was around 2005 or 2007.
@@einmensch3839 idk but the 2. One is tho one i talk about.
In case Liechtenstein would be attacked, its the Swiss Military that has to defend the country anyway. So it is not that there would be a lot of resistance if the swiss invaded. Actually I was based pretty close to Lichtenstein in my military driver training. The officials make it a joke to tell us to turn the very last road before entering the country. There are always some that miss it and have to set back, with a single truck though - not with tanks.
Enjoyed watching your video, greetings from Liechtenstein. You stood right in front of my office 😁
No way haha!🙌
Another great video! I've been to Liechtenstein just one week ago and it was nice to see you exploring the streets I've visited too! It is indeed a beautiful country.
Hope you had a great time!
Hey, yes what you ate was a "fragolina di bosco" (this is the name we give in Ticino, the south Italian part of Switzerland) = little wild strawberry. Maybe was tasteless because the edible wild strawberry look down to the floor and it's tasty, instead the bad look up in the air. With a big portion of bad wild strawberries you probably would have been sick!
Every time I watch your videos I get a history lesson! Beautiful job and great storytelling. I’m looking forward to part two❤️👍✈️
Thanks for watching Diane🙏❤️
We both loved this video so much! Not just trains, but falafel. So great to watch vids w/o having to see animal meat. TY!
🌱🙏❤️
Wow, that's the quietest train I've ever seen! Such a cozy country, I'll love to visit it one day.
Wow, I learned so much from this video on Liechtenstein! It's amazing how such a small country has such a rich and complex history. If you're interested in learning more about Liechtenstein, I highly recommend the book
'A Journey Through Liechtenstein's Fascinating History' by Lea Marie Nigg.
It's a beautiful and informative book that offers a unique perspective on Liechtenstein's history.
Nice video. You seem like really nice people, and I'm glad you've enjoyed Switzerland.
Thank you🙏🇨🇭
So glad I found this channel. You two are great host 😎 Hopefully I can travel the world one day with someone I love.
Aaw thank you Aaron!! Glad you found us😍
I'm single Aaron☺️Love this channel too💯
It's literally so awkward too see you guys filming and being happy about things i see when i look out of my window. I live near the train station you went on to get the bus to Vaduz. I hope you enjoyed it here!
Sargans is a beautiful area!
I worked at Spaniagasse. So cool to see the building again
Omg cool!!🙌
Omg you talking about Geography Now! and Kara and Nate made me so happy ! I mean, of course you know them 😂
Two of our favorite channels in the world!🙏🌍
Another great one, you guys doing a great job 👌
Funfact 3: Liechtenstein belongs to the Swiss custom's territory and you normally pay with Swiss francs (kind of like Monaco in France). I'm originally from the Sarganserland, so you missed a great landscape before you got to Liechtenstein.
Hey i think we might know eachother. If yes we will meet at the Jahrmarkt in Balzers.
I do love when you guys travel. It may be tiny but it is beautiful.
Switzerland is one of the countries that I REALLY wanna visit one day. Thoroughly enjoyed watching all your videos from your visit here.
Thank you so much for watching!🙏
Such a nice video. I wish I can travel like you guys.
Another great video guys! Always so informative and interesting. 💯👍🤗
Thank you Luke🙏❤️
Congratulations on getting to Liechtenstein
Looks very enjoyable, thanks for sharing
So nice to see you in Sargans, my hometown :D
When I was in the Bodensee region back in 2017-18, only diesel trains ran to Lindau from Germany, there weren’t any DB ICE trains running from Germany to Zürich. Looks like it has changed now.
The Route was electrified so the ICE can use it
Liechtenstein is such a funny place. I thought it would be like a mini-Bavaria, but it was quite different. It's really very unlike Monaco too without many expensive high class shops. It's really Ruritania, but without any changing of any princely guards. It could really sell itself far more.
Great video, charming neighbor-country, nice people - there is only one mistake: they have no airport, not even a smaller one… 😚☺️
😂✈️
B E A U T I F U L C O U N T R Y 😍
Hello from Liechtenstein! We're not an absolute monarchy! You couldn't be more wrong. In Liechtenstein the people can use plebiscites to make laws, to abandon the monarchy or to fire the reigning prince (who then will be replaced by another family member) and also single municipalities can opt-out of the state. By a plebiscite they could choose to separate from the motherland. This right of secession is unknown in all other states globally. All summed up, you could say that in no other country in the world the people have as much power as in our beautiful state! Cheers mates!
hihi. I Love your accent, Oskar. With this little German sound in it.
Lovely videos - good luck, boys, with your new experiences! And thank you!
Thank YOU!
you guys shoud have stayed in chur a little. its a beautiful place and its the oldest city in switzerland. Roots of the city go all the way back to the bronze-time. Some historical finds go back to 4000-10'000 b.c.
The sad part is that most of the oldest buildings got destroyed in a fire in 1464.
We had planned to stay but we couldn’t miss the last train of the day😢
Another superb episode!
My home country! Glad you guys had fun there 😄 but what the heck, we normally don't have those weird traditional toilets in our country, just standard ones 😂
We actually kinda like traditional toilets! At least in public😉
@@OskarandDan well sure they aren't that bad, just a bit unusual for me! 😄
you poop much better when you squat. I always put touletpaper on some pages of newspaper, then i squat and poop on it and let the toilet paper with poop on it glide into the toliet afterwards.
I guess because it was an Arabic food restaurant
Those strawberries are pretty common here and grow nearly everywhere but normally the taste is stronger than the taste from normal strawberries and i know many people enjoying them
Awesome job you guys and dan I m started my first airplane video it will posted on next Monday .
You guys are inspiring us to travel as well. Go places !!!
So glad to hear that!!
Hello Oskar and Dan , I live near Liechtenstein and there is a great chocolate company called ,,Läderach``.You got to try it out!! 🙂
Laderach chocolate is Swiss, the Laderach family comes from Glarus, Switzerland.
little detail, the first train is a train from Germany (DB means Deutsche Bahn) it's not a swiss train ;)
Yes yes Oskar, that´s our ICE 3 or 4 train (ICE = InterCityExpress). Its running extremely smooth, even at top speed of approximately 200 mph.
Must be an ICE 4, as the ICE 3 trains aren't used for routes to/in Switzerland (only as far as Basel from Germany). In theory, ICE 3 are approved in Switzerland, too, but would have needed some technical modifications which were deemed too costly.
Beautiful, thank you ❤❤
They trains look like in sweden because the trains in sweden are also from "stadler rail" a swiss train manufacturer, located at the Lake Konstanz 😉
Pretty weird to see Sargans in a YT-Video as someone who's from Sarganserland (thats how the whole region from Walenstadt to Bad Ragaz is called.)
Haha! The region is beautiful😍
Fürstentum Liechtenstein 🇱🇮
Another great video! Love you guys!🧡💛❤️💚💙💜🏳️🌈
"Wow the train is so quiet" - two swedish guys on a german train in switzerland
I only know those as the most shaking ones, the french tgv trains are much quieter but have no leg space and no real restaurants 🤷♂️ And the swiss ones are in the middle, neutral as usual.
Great vid... too bad you didn't get to meet the Prince like Kara and Nate did...
Wishing every visitor to Liechtenstein could!😂
I haven't been in Liechtenstein for a long time.
You guys should start geocaching... all the countries yoiu would collect^^
You should go to the lac leman on the other side of Switzerland 🇨🇭
Loved the “tour”😊
That’s what a gap year should be……..a REAL education.one you’ll never forget. We did this in the 60 s but hitched hiked,did odd jobs to pay our way..wonderful memories.ENJOY🇨🇦
the toilet at #7:30 is neither old or traditional - it's actually there to accommodate for the masses of new-rich chinese tourists.
4:47 i can't see it clearly but they are maybe the poison one.😣
And the poison one are called Scheinerdbeere.
Oops😂😩 It didn't taste at all like wild strawberries so you might be right🍓
@@OskarandDan 😬😬 in swizerland everyone knows about this berrys. Thats just unlucky.😅
Very nice video!
Great Video 👏
Liechtenstein is a mini Switzerland they rely on Swiss Franc and banking and if you ask any person there it's a tax haven many EU firms have a office there and the country's town of Schaan has HILTI (which is the country's biggest manufacturer of tools for breaking walls and etc) small country indeed.
If you wanted to work there it's a really low chance,you need maternal German and it depends if it's a hotel you also need to know English, French and Italian.
Obtain a work visa is just too hard.
Too bad you didn't go to the Mountains of Lichtenstein, to Malbun.
"How do you cross the frontier ?"
"Without noticing it ?"
- the Swiss
I hope I wont be asking for too much if I ask to travel with you to your next city of visit!
Aw!😍 We’re doing an organized group trip next year :) www.trovatrip.com/trips/morocco-with-daniel-goz-apr-2022
@@OskarandDan Thats cool.. So I can join too
I was like, wasn't Nate and Kara filmed here and met the Prince
How do you find out if someone is from Sweden? Just wait for him to take out his recyclable water bottle. :D
I´ve seen this in Stockholm so many times and I think ist really great. I´ve just bought my one bottle in a small shop in the city center.
😂 That’s great!
11:48 a shame you didn't buy the bullseye steak sauce it's amazing 😂
I love your videos....
🙏❤️
4:50 if the berry is looking up I wouldn’t eat them, but those who are looking down are tasty
🙏🍓
The random things I learn from here….I will never look at wild berries again without referring to this--
When are you Goin to my country TIBET 🤩🤩🤩
@OscarandDan Hey I just found your Channel. Greetings from Liechtenstein. If you visit Liechtenstein again or are in the Area i would like to guide you and show you my Homeland of Liechtenstein.
Thanks! Welcome to the channel🙌🏼
These are indeed wild strawberries. However, I wouldn't eat them without washing them at least a little, because for example fox urine could potentially make you sick from parasites, even years after consumption. But it's quite rare, so you'll be fine
Fun fact: You visited one of the two doubly landlocked countries in the world, i.e. a country that is landlocked by other landlocked countries and you have to cross two borders to reach the sea.
Yes! We’ve now been to both double landlocked countries in the world, Liechtenstein and Uzbekistan!🙌😌
Hi guys im from mels and i can you show you our beautiful citys
❤️🇱🇰🇱🇰
❤❤
Technically queen Elizabeth can also veto everything and kick out the uk prime minester if she wants him gone, it just doesn´t happen in practice because she knows her head would be on a pike shortly after doing so, but theroretically GB is also an absolute monarchy, it´s just not counted as that because the monarchy doesn´t intervene directly with politics anymore.
1:05 i can almost see my house :)
4:44 those are not strawberries haha they are called Scheineedbeere which means ‚mock strawberry‘ because they look very similar. they are edible but tasteless
3:31 subtitles💀💀💀💀
Its funny that even the store you guys were in was a swiss one😂
Lol, didn’t realize Coop was actually from Switzerland! We have it in Sweden too :)
@@OskarandDan Same name and strikingly similar logo, but I think the companies in Switzerland and Sweden aren't connected. I suppose both (and "Coop" stores in other countries, too) have their roots in the retail cooperative movement. Swiss Coop is still officially organized as a cooperative (Genossenschaft in German). That Coop in Liechtenstein is a Swiss one, though :-)
thats very near i live :)
Hi guys how many months would you recommend to visit lickedherstern?
Thanks. Are you brothers?
The title of the video says "Not what we expected" but, if I didn't miss it somehow, you never say actually what you *did* expect in Liechtenstein? ;-)
Oskar could you please take off your sunglasses when shooting the videos. We like to see your beautiful eyes.
I have very sun sensitive eyes😂
Those berries you ate, we called them waterberries as children, idk of that's the right name. You can tell them apart from strawberries by where they point to. Waterberries point to the sky, strawberries point to the ground
Aah that’s good to know! Are they edible?😊
@@OskarandDan edible yes, they just don't taste good😅
And have like nothing in them exept water
Actually I already ate some that were tasty, I even did a tiny bit of jam with a few that I picked and it was nice 😂
In the french speaking part of Switzerland we call them "fraises des bois", it literally translates to forest strawberries 😊
They are edible just keep in mind that if they are near a path they might be a chance that a dog or an other animal may have peed on them 😅
@@emsywemsy9890 yes my parents always reminded me to inspect them before and if possible wash them
You guys are god damn savages lol, love your work guys keep going
Aaw haha thank you!!😂 First time someone calls us savages lol we'll gladly take it!
@@OskarandDan :D :D That's awesome, your motivation and passion for life is the best, keep going!
Are you guys trying to achieve the goal that Kara And Nate achieved?
will you come to luxembourg too? 😇
We already went!😍 Was such a pleasant surprise!
@@OskarandDan oh really. will be searching for the video :)
Train its not swiss its German, last monarch? Monte carlo what is it? Andorra?😉😁👋🇨🇭
Yes, that first train they took to Sargans is a German ICE train by Deutsche Bahn (DB). Some of their routes go into Switzerland, and as far as I know, some are also used for purely intra-Swiss services (such as, apparently, this one to Sargans-Chur) instead of having them stay idle until the next service to Germany, in a SBB-DB cooperation.
Apparently he said "we board the first real train in Switzerland" and not "our first swiss train" so Oskar wasn't wrong. Beside the fact, that he considered the Zurich S-Bahn as "not a real train" which may heavily offend zurich people🤣🤣🤣
When are you coming to Mexico?
We’ve been many times and love it😍
What make them the richest royal family ??
you dont have to pay txes in lichtentein
Funfact 3: Liechtenstein is basicslly Switzerland but independent
Liechtenstein is a carricature of Switzerland.
I don't have a different place in my head for like Liechtenstein and, say, Sankt-Gallen. I wonder if that video will prove me wrong or not.
Yeah this couldn't look any more swiss than it does lol. Kind of feels like you're visiting two similar swiss german cantons
Liechtenstein is just like the little richer brother from Switzerland.
its just switzerland 🤣
