<h1 class="ChapterName">Liechtenstein </h1> <p>Every year on Assumption Day (Aug. 15), also Prince Hans-Adam II’s birthday, all of Liechtenstein’s citizens are invited to celebrate with the royal family at the Vaduz Palace.

Despite its miniscule size and population, Europe’s only absolute monarchy boasts imposing mountains with great biking, hiking, and skiing. </p> 2009-05-27T17:46:02+00:00 98 false 12335 Liechtenstein 0 203 9599 2009-11-30T19:41:42+00:00
