Money Advice
Costs in Liechtenstein are among the highest in Europe. If you're on a
tight budget and you stay in hostels and self-cater, you could get by on
around US$40 a day after buying a rail pass. If you stay in pensions,
enjoy eating out and want to sample the nightlife count on spending at
least twice as much.
All major travellers cheques and credit cards are accepted. Commission is
not charged for changing cash or cheques, but shop around for the best
rates (hotels usually have the worst rates). Tipping is rarely necessary
as hotels, restaurants and bars are required by law to include a 15%
service charge. Even taxis normally have a service charge included. Forget
about bargaining unless you go to someone's garage sale - it's just not
done.
