Tolls

System
No general toll

No road tolls; Liechtenstein has no motorways of its own, so the Swiss vignette isn't needed here, but a vehicle transiting into Switzerland or Austria will need the relevant vignette for those countries.

Good to know

One of the smallest countries in Europe — most of it can be crossed in minutes. Currency is the Swiss franc (CHF), and traffic law closely follows Swiss rules.
