Liechtenstein, a country definitely worth to send a postcard from! But, is there even a state postal service, are there multiple post offices, and, most importantly, what’s the price to send a postcard from Liechtenstein? To ease your daring questions, it’s easier than you might imagine.

Where to buy your stamps in Liechtenstein

Wherever you’re buying your postcard, ask for stamps. It’s quite usual for those places selling stamps as well. If they do not sell international ones or have temporarily run out of, they can for sure tell you the location of the next selling point of the post office!

Post offices in Liechtenstein (Vaduz and smaller towns)

There are actually several post offices spread around the small country. As you, as a tourist in Liechtenstein, are probably in the “touristy areas”, such as Vaduz or Malbun, find here now the addresses of offices in those towns:

Costs of a stamp for a postcard/letter in Liechtenstein – national (including Switzerland), international and over-sea

Now on to the most crucial part, and why you are probably reading this blog post currently: what’s the price for the postcard I want to send from Vaduz or Malbun or … home? As in other countries, such as Italy or the US, this depends on the country you want to send the postcard or letter to. As the national currency of Liechtenstein is the Swiss Franc, the following prices are in this currency. However, at most places, you can also pay with Euros in Liechtenstein, or with a card, so don’t worry if you have already spent all your CHF 😉

Postcards to Liechtenstein and Switzerland

A-Post 1 CHF
B-Post 0,85 CHF

So the crucial difference between A- and B-Post is the duration of delivery. A-Post is the prioritized postage and is usually delivered the next working day, B-Post is a bit slower and therefore cheaper. If you don’t mind about when your postcard will be distributed, it’s recommended to use the B-Post stamp worth 85 Rappen.
