Vaduz - located along the Rhine, in the centre of the country
Schaan - the most populous community, just north of Vaduz

The Principality of Liechtenstein (German: Fürstentum Liechtenstein) is a tiny, landlocked state in Western Europe, bordered by Switzerland to its west and by Austria to its east.
Liechtenstein is situated in the Upper Rhine valley of the European Alps.
Liechtenstein is one of only two doubly landlocked countries in the world; i.e., a landlocked country surrounded by other landlocked countries.
