A Poker Extravaganza amidst the Natural Beauty of Liechtenstein
The Principality of Liechtenstein is one of the most exquisite places in Europe. Engulfed by a veil of mystery and strategically placed in the continent's heart, Liechtenstein is an oasis of serenity just miles away from the hustle and bustle of significant economic and cultural hubs.
The capital of Vaduz, located just several miles south of the Grand Casino, is an actual cultural and historic vault stacked with sites that history buffs and art enthusiasts will fall in love with.
Away from Vaduz and its extraordinary castle and treasury, all visitors to Liechtenstein get to experience the Principality’s natural beauty, most vividly displayed in places like the Ruggell Riet natural reserve and the Malbun holiday resort.
Like most places in Central Europe, Liechtenstein is also a gastronomic paradise, with ancient wineries and modern restaurants alike serving delicacies you can only experience in a few places.
All this and much more will be offered as activities away from the felt for players who make their way to Grand Casino in the coming weeks to play in the WPT Prime Liechtenstein festival, making the overall experience truly unforgettable.
