Now, rent a whole country for £40,000 a night

The entire Liechtenstein, a tiny land-locked country between Austria and Switzerland, is being offered for hire to tourists with £40,000 a night to spare.

The country's officials decided to put the whole state up for rent after realising its potential earlier this year, reports the Daily Mail.

Those who travel to the country, which has become known as a tax-haven for the wealthy, will have accommodation for 150 guests.

They will have the run of the land and use of the country's police, even though Liechtenstein has one of the lowest crime rates in the area.

The new temporary 'owners' of country will be presented with a symbolic key to the country in a ceremony at the state parliament.

Although there is a two-night minimum stay, the guests will be treated to wine-tasting from the Prince of Liechtenstein's personal cellar, skiing and a sumptuous dinner overlooking Vaduz Castle.

Tobogganing, fireworks and horse-drawn carriage rides through the capital Vaduz are other options included.

However, the country's 30,000 population will be allowed to stay.

Airbnb, the firm organising the renting, said the purpose of the scheme was to "connect people".

"Guests can build real connections with their hosts, gain access to distinctive spaces and immerse themselves in the culture of their destinations," a spokesperson added.
