Since Liechtenstein, like Switzerland, is in Schengen (despite not being in the EU) it doesn't really have a border to get one's passport stamped at. You can get your passport stamped in the tourist info center (I think it costs 3chf) but I didn't bother. As it happens my passport has been to about 8 countries and has no stamps in because UK citizens don't get stamped entering Schengen (though I think they will if you ask) and there are almost no border checks within Schengen - I would say there are none but I think they do pop up occasionally.
San Marino is off for now on account of being a pig to get to from Florence (at least by public transport). So it'll be a nice simple trip to Italy this Autumn and then some crazy route to the FT Do in Nuremberg next year... Something like LHR-Sarajevo, Mostar, Zagreb, maybe Ljubljana. And I might get the train home via Luxembourg. How are you guys getting to Andorra?

"Even more so than before"? Oh come on. I'm going from Austria to Slovakia on a regular base for more than 15 years now and you can't even begin to imagine how great it is to not even slow down when crossing the border. There were times in the past when we needed 2 hours to get through Slovakian customs.
Also, driving from Germany into Luxembourg I didn't even properly notice that I crossed a border.

I found this thread looking for info on Liechtenstein. It was very informative - thanks, exilencfc!
I did find the ensuing discussion of Schengen charmingly innocent given the current migration crisis. It just goes to show how much can change in a year.
