Liechtenstein, month by month
- Two busiest months
- Other months
When is Liechtenstein busiest, and when is it quietest?
August was the busiest month in 2025, with 13.7% of the year's tourist nights. November was the quietest, with 5.3%. That makes August 2.6 times as busy as November.1
Eight months each carried less than an average month's share of 8.3%: January, February, March, April, May, October, November and December.
Who stays in Liechtenstein: residents or guests from abroad?
In 2025, guests living abroad spent 96.3% of Liechtenstein's tourist nights. Residents of Liechtenstein spent the rest.1
- Highest share from abroad
- Other months
The share from abroad was highest in February, at 98.9% of that month's nights, and lowest in March, at 93.5%.1
Guests from abroad spent more than half of the nights in every month of the year.
Eurostat counts guests by the country they live in, not by nationality.2
How seasonal is Liechtenstein compared with the rest of Europe?
July and August together carried 25.8% of Liechtenstein's nights. Ranked by that share, Liechtenstein is the 28th most seasonal of the 35 European countries we measured, where 1 is the country most concentrated into its two busiest months.1
For comparison, the most seasonal country on this measure was Croatia at 54.5%, and the least seasonal was Malta at 21.8%. See all 35 countries ranked.
How full are Liechtenstein's hotels each month?
Hotel rooms were fullest in August, when 59.9% were in use, and emptiest in December, at 36.4%.3

This is Eurostat's net occupancy rate of bedrooms: bedrooms in use divided by bedrooms available. It covers hotels and similar places only, not campsites or holiday lets, so it can peak in a different month from the nights figures above.2
How long do guests stay in Liechtenstein?
Guests stayed an average of 1.8 nights each time they checked in at tourist accommodation in Liechtenstein in 2025: 216,223 nights across 119,879 arrivals.4 Across the 33 countries on this site with complete figures, the average ran from 1.5 nights in Iceland to 4.7 in Cyprus.4
This is our division of Eurostat's two counts. Eurostat counts an arrival each time a guest checks in at a place to stay, so a traveller who moves between places is counted more than once, and a whole trip is longer than the figure suggests.2
What are Liechtenstein's public holidays in 2026 and 2027?
In Liechtenstein, public holidays fall on 13 days in both 2026 and 2027.5 In 2026, 3 of those days are a Saturday or Sunday.5 Good Friday is not on Liechtenstein's list of legal holidays.

We took these from the law or the government's own list, not from a holiday website, and worked out the dates that move each year, such as Easter, from the rules in the law. Regional and local holidays are not included.

Thirty-year averages from one weather station, Vaduz, which we use for Vaduz. They describe a typical year at that station, not a forecast, and weather varies across Liechtenstein. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain. Daylight is not measured: it is our calculation of the time from sunrise to sunset.
June or September? May or October?
June was quieter than September, at 8.9% against 10.2%.
May and October were almost identical, at 7.4% and 7.3%.
These compare months at similar distances from the summer peak. For typical weather in Vaduz, see the weather section.
What these figures cannot tell you
These figures are good at one thing: showing when a country's registered tourist accommodation fills up. Four things they cannot do.
They miss some small places. The counts cover hotels, holiday and short-stay accommodation and campsites, but countries may exclude establishments with fewer than ten bed places, so small guesthouses can be missing.2
Nights are not queues. A national monthly total cannot see how busy one old town, beach or museum is on a given day.
Tourist nights say nothing about weather or prices. The weather section uses 30-year averages from one station, not a forecast. We have not published price data, because we have not verified any.
They are one year. These are 2025 figures. Patterns shift from year to year, and Eurostat revises its data as countries update their returns.
