There are several countries in the world that exist without airports. For travel and transport purposes they rely on other means of transport like waterways and land routes. These countries have proven that flying is not always a necessary option to survive and there are other means of transport on which to run. They have learned the art of utilising resources with neighbouring countries efficiently. Let’s know who these countries are.
Take a Look at These Countries Which Don’t Even Have a Choice for Airport:
Vatican City
Vatican City is the smallest country in the world. With just 800 people to be called the total population of the country, there is not much space to build an airport. There is no river to consider for other means of transport. Moreover, you can cover the whole country while walking. But you will be happy to know that the nearest airport is just 30 minutes away from the city if you travel by train.
Monaco
After Vatican City, Monaco is the second smallest country in the world. It is surrounded on three sides by France and counted one of the rare countries that exists without no independent airport facility. You can travel to Monaco by road or by river to explore its beautiful sites.
San Marino
San Marino is one of the world’s oldest states. It is located not very far from Vatican City. San Marino is small and does not have access to the sea being surrounded by Italy. To be very fortunate, this state is flat and has an intense network of routes to travel. A place named Rimini, in Italy, is the nearest Airport hosting city close to San Marino.
