Rules in force · 10Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…Local buses take luggage but run less often after 20

Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
Central Europe ↗Six of the nine countries here — Austria, Switzerland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia — charge a time-based motorway vignette, mostly digital and linked to the number plate; buy it before the first motorway past the border, because cameras, not toll booths, do the checking.
Central Europe ↗Temporary police checks at internal Schengen borders are common in this region in 2026 (Germany, Austria, Poland, Slovenia among others — check): keep your passport on you on every cross-border train, bus and road even though there is no fixed control post.
Liechtenstein ↗Liechtenstein is in the Schengen area and the EEA but not the EU: check entry rules, the EU Entry/Exit System and any travel authorisation requirement for your passport on official sources.
Liechtenstein ↗Liechtenstein is in a customs union with Switzerland and uses the Swiss franc; Swiss customs allowances apply.
Liechtenstein ↗There is no airport; arrive via Zurich or Friedrichshafen/Altenrhein and continue by train and bus.
Oberland ↗The local bus is the only public transport up to Triesenberg and Malbun: check the last return before you go.
Vaduz ↗Local buses take luggage but run less often after 20:00 and on Sundays: with two large bags after dark, book a taxi or a transfer.
Vaduz ↗Vaduz Castle is the prince's residence and is not open to visitors: walk up to the viewpoint only.

Pay first, then take a seat.
No tipping expected; round up.
Cards and contactless; keep some coins for small items.
Tipping: Service is included in the price. Round up or add CHF 1–5 for good service; not expected for a coffee at the counter.

At the table

Kitchens close between 14:00 and 18:00 and by 21:00: plan lunch by 12:30 and dinner by 20:00.Kitchens close between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM and by 21:00: plan lunch by 12:30 PM and dinner by 8:00 PM.
