Vaduz vista
Following this taillight trail, we've wended our way to a doubly landlocked land that's comparable to Brooklyn, New York, in land area and to Manhattan, Kansas, in population. Though little Liechtenstein is easily overlooked amid the modern world's enormity, this principality still manages to punch up, boasting a prosperous economy and 100% literacy rate. And as in all the alpine nations, history and nature merge at every twist and turn. Take Vaduz Castle for example, the medieval edifice that overlooks a same-named, valley-nestled town of 6,000 or so—the nation's capital.
