Read on to find out which five destinations have no flights in and out of them, as well as how you can get there yourself.

Vatican City

Vatican City is the smallest country in the world, being located within Italy.

With no airport, you will have to fly to Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport instead, and then get a taxi, which takes around 35 minutes.

It is also the only place in Europe that has never had a McDonald's open there.

Liechtenstein

Surrounded by Switzerland and Austria, you can't fly to Liechtenstein either.

The best way is to fly to Zurich and then get a short taxi, or get a train from Buch or Sargans on the Swiss border.

In 2019, Lonely Planet named the country as one of the best European destinations to visit.
