Driving in Buchs:

  • There's ample parking available, both street-side and in parking lots. However, it's always a good idea to check the parking rules and tariffs.
  • Due to its proximity to Liechtenstein, it's common for travelers to drive between the two, so always have your travel documents handy if you plan to cross the border. Check with your local agent if this is permitted in your hire car.
