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. Luckily for him, only 35,000 people reside in the 160 sq. km nation. Despite its miniscule size and population, Europe’s only absolute monarchy boasts imposing mountains with great biking, hiking, and skiing.
For 50 years, we have published the world’s favorite budget travel guides, written entirely by students and updated every year. With pen and notebook in hand and a few changes of underwear stuffed in our backpacks, we spend months roaming the globe in search of travel bargains.
