/ Liechtenstein
Alpine micro-principality between Switzerland and Austria
Nestled in the Alps between Switzerland and Austria, Liechtenstein is one of the world's smallest states: a prosperous principality of castles, vineyards and mountain trails. For a Cameroonian, you reach it via Switzerland (Zurich airport), with a Schengen visa issued by Switzerland. It is a peaceful, refined interlude, perfect to combine with a stay in Switzerland or Austria.
