About some traditions
Liechtenstein is the only country with 100% of its area in the alpine region.
It is not uncommon for members of the government to take part in the country’s diverse cultural scene as actors in musicals or musicians in orchestras and bands.
On Liechtenstein’s national holiday, His Serene Highness Prince Hans-Adam II, the head of state, and his son, His Serene Highness Hereditary Prince Alois, invite the residents of their tiny principality to have a beer in the garden of Vaduz Castle, the princely ancestral residence.
