    MORE INFO

    Schaan is Liechtenstein’s largest municipality and one of its main employment centers, home to industrial companies, offices, schools, cultural venues, shops, and residential neighborhoods. It is more practical for daily life than tiny Vaduz, while remaining minutes from the capital and close to Swiss and Austrian transport links. Infrastructure, safety, healthcare access, and internet quality are excellent. The major constraints are high costs, a limited rental market, and tightly controlled residence permits. Schaan suits executives, engineers, families, and cross-border professionals.
