In Liechtenstein, the State Opening of Parliament takes the form of a “Speech from the Throne.” In recent years, it takes place in late January.
The State Opening takes place at the Landtag (Parliament) building. The event begins at 10 AM, with a speech by the Monarch/Regent and then a speech from President of the Landtag. After the State Opening, the Monarch/Regent, and members of parliament have an aperitif in the State Parliament Building.
