Meanwhile, Luxembourg: Am I too big for you ?

Liechtenstein is often invaded by chance through the swiss military. A relative of mine who has been in the swiss army told me that when they were out on a training march, they got lost and found themselves in the middle of Liechtenstein. No diplomatic stress though as they immediatelly retreated from their invasion. That must happen all the time.

That's no biggie since Liechtenstein is closely tied with Switzerland, they even use the Swiss Franc as currency. But the same happened at least once with Italy. There's a train that goes from one Swiss region to another, but it also transits through Italy, and Italian law enforcement agents in charge of border security usually board the train to check documents. Years ago a small company of Swiss soldiers was on the train, in full gear and carrying assault rifles (no ammo though). It was more of an embarassment than a diplomatic issue. Swiss soldiers take the same train all the time, but they have to remove military insignia and obviously leave their weapons on Swiss territory.

Monaco for its weather , luxury and extravagance , Andorra for its scenery , endurance throughout the ages and "normal" size and finally San Marino for its stubborness and for being an examble of how such a small republic can survive .. are my favorites

San Marino endures as an independent nation to spare the rest of Europe from finishing last in the UEFA championships.

Absolutely brilliant! The history, the filming and the presentation! Rick Steves is a legend!

Truly breathtaking video. Being a European by birth, I was aware these statelets existence and whereabouts, yet this video still contained both visual and interesting historical info, which was new to me. How strange, that it was conveyed by a friendly, and easy going American. Thanks Mr. Steves!

Fell in love with these videos.

I went to a football match in Andorra. We missed a turn and got lost. The Police then blocked the road so that we could safely reverse the wrong way. Then we couldn’t get into the Stadium so the Police let is watch the match from their rest area.

A real pleasure to watch. Rick's humor has a way of raising the mind of the viewer above the daily concerns.

It is a pleasure to watch Rick Steves travel videos which are captivating, with the interesting commentary about each place. It brought back memories of my visit to Vadus, the capital of Liechtenstein sometime ago.

Great upload indeed. Thanks a lot

Europe sure looks inviting and fun place to be!

The Organ piece playing in the background from 5:44 onwards is a prelude by Bach in F major from a book of eight little fugues and preludes. A great organ piece for those starting out.

Very informative and interesting journey.

All drivers for your skill and great joy I have watching An Deakin Warwick UK March 2021

That episode may have come out in 2008, but was the Vatican segment from 2000, San Marino from 2006, and the other two (Andorra and Liechtenstein) from 2008? I know the Monaco segment came from 2004 - most likely from a 2004 episode involving Nice and the French Riviera.

I just love reversible introductions

Amazing.

The Lonesome Traveler salutes you. Excellent informative entertainment Thank you and your staff Laurence james

Great video, been to all of these as well! How about a video on European quirks such as Campione d'Italia, Llivia, Gibraltar, Baarle-Nassau (& Baarle-Hertog), Busingen am Hochrhein and if you want to push things you could include Ceuta & Melilla (although they are technically in Africa)..

Also if in Liechtenstein don't stay in Vaduz. Stay in Triesenberg the views are incredible

I LOVE YOUR SHOW

I've been to three of these micro-countries: San Marino, Vatican City and Monaco.

I've been to Andorra and whilsg the capital put me off at first, the countryside is breath taking. Beautiful part of the world

I've done Vatican State, feeling San Marino for a mini-moon after our Italian wedding, off to Liechtenstein next month... so just Monaco and Andorra to go!

I love when you are in Europe

Monaco was originally ten times its current size, and the rest of the land was mainly lemon orchards, the fruit of which it was famous for, and was its main source of income. France and Monaco had a tenuous relationship after the Napoleonic wars reshuffled medieval Europe, with France sort-of but not totally recognizing Monaco's independent status. France coveted their lemon orchards, so they told the Monégasques basically "If you give us your lemon orchards and the land they stand on, we'll officially recognize your independence forever" with the implied threat of "if you don't give us those lands, we might invade and make you French". Monaco reluctantly agreed, and in the Franco-Monégasque Treaty of 1861 handed over nine-tenths of its land to France for continued self-sovereignty. Their loss plunged the country into poverty, and the ruling prince built the famous Monte Carlo casino as a way of bring in revenue to the country. This remained the country's main source of income until the late 20th century, when banking and acting as a tax haven took over.

I noticed an interesting section of video with a very interesting map of comparison about these countries and the description about them, from about 20 minutes and 10 seconds to 20 minutes and 40 seconds. 2020-January-18th 1:07

I love Andorra a great country

San Marino ancient yet majestic nice place to visit . A place where being g rich a must to live their.

As previously mentioned, the European Country Next would be The Republic of Malta, we would love to have you. Another "Quasi-country" would be Gibratlar, which is independent yet not a republic, not sure if it would qualify.
