If you are looking for the best things to do in St. Gallen, you have come to the right place. During our Grand Train Tour of Switzerland we stumbled across the Swiss fairytale town of St. Gallen and we are so excited to share all of the best things to do in St. Gallen old town with you. Nestled between Lake Constance and the Swiss Alps, St. Gallen is a hidden gem that feels like it’s been plucked straight from a storybook. From the UNESCO-listed Abbey District and its breathtaking Baroque cathedral to the world-famous Abbey Library, there are so many incredible St. Gallen attractions to explore. Whether you are strolling through the car-free St. Gallen Old Town to admire the 111 ornate oriel windows or heading up to the Three Ponds for a panoramic view, this guide covers all the essential things to see in St. Gallen to make your Swiss adventure unforgettable.This charming hamlet tucked between Lake Constance and the Swiss Alps has a rich heritage of craft, design, food and culture and visitors will be absolutely enchanted by how picturesque St. Gallen old town is.
We visited St. Gallen after first spending some time exploring the Bernese Oberland and Jungfrau region of Switzerland and we were blown away by the sheer beauty of this region. After spending time strolling through alpine flower gardens, we didn’t think that we could be any more impressed by Switzerland. But St. Gallen is a dream come true. You will be greeted by cobbled streets, turret-capped buildings, and townhouses decorated with delightful and colourful shutters that make you feel like you have just stepped inside a storybook. It is one of our favourite fairytale towns in Europe.
Is St. Gallen worth visiting?
Yes, St. Gallen is absolutely worth visiting, particularly for travellers who appreciate history, architecture, and a more authentic, less-crowded Swiss experience. While many tourists flock to Lucerne or Interlaken, St. Gallen offers a sophisticated “old world” charm that is unique in Switzerland. It is best suited for a 1-to-2-day trip or as a gateway to the Appenzellerland region.
The 3 Main Reasons to Visit St. Gallen
1. The UNESCO Abbey District: The star of the city is the Abbey of St. Gall. The Abbey Library is widely considered one of the most beautiful in the world, a Rococo masterpiece filled with 170,000 ancient manuscripts. Even if you aren’t a “museum person,” the library’s intricate woodwork and frescoed ceilings are a bucket-list site.
2. Fairytale Old Town: St. Gallen has one of the best-preserved car-free old towns in Switzerland. It is famous for its 111 oriel windows (highly decorated bay windows) that adorn centuries-old buildings. It feels like a storybook setting without the heavy commercialization found in larger cities.
3. The “Textile City” Heritage: For centuries, St. Gallen was the world’s embroidery capital (even providing lace for celebrities like Jackie O and modern catwalks). The Textile Museum is a fascinating look at high fashion and industrial history.
What is St. Gallen famous for?
St. Gallen was once regarded as the centre of the world’s embroidery industry due to the discovery of the embroidery machine here in the early 1900s and the supply of lace to all of Europe by century-old textile companies like Forster Rohner, Bischoff, and Jakob Schlaepfer. Even today, traces of the region’s rich textile history are still present. Haute couture, fabrics and lace from St. Gallen are featured on catwalks from Paris to Milan to New York.
St. Gallen was also one of Europe’s most significant spiritual centres. As you enter St. Gallen’s Abbey District, you can still feel the influence of the Benedictine monks. St. Gallen was founded at the beginning of the 7th century by an Irish monk called Gallus who chose this spot for his hermitage. About one hundred years later, a Benedictine Abbey was founded, and with the addition of a library in the 9th century, St. Gallen became a centre of learning.
The Baroque cathedral, outstanding collection of ancient manuscripts in the Rococo-style Abbey library, and majestic architecture make the Abbey District a centre of cultural tradition. It was rightly designated a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 1983.
St. Gallen also has the rare distinction of being on the border of four countries adding a unique flare to this charming city. St. Gallen features one of the most picturesque Old Towns in Switzerland. Many of the 16th and 17th century houses and buildings have painted facades, often adorned with wrought-iron signs and carved and painted wooden bay windows. The best places to find them are on the bustling Marktgasse, Schmiedgasse, Spisergasse and Kugelgasse. The adorable alleys invite you to stroll and shop, and there are some interesting museums to also visit.
What is the Most Beautiful Town in Switzerland?
While Switzerland is famous for its soaring Alpine peaks and shimmering lakes, St. Gallen makes a compelling case for being the most beautiful town in Switzerland through its sheer architectural elegance and fairytale atmosphere. Unlike the larger and more bustling hubs of Zurich or Geneva, St. Gallen retains a pristine and frozen in time quality. Its car-free Old Town is a labyrinth of cobblestone streets where the air feels lighter and the history more tangible, making it arguably the most aesthetic urban escape in the Swiss Confederation.
The crown jewel of this beauty is the UNESCO listed Abbey District. The Abbey Cathedral, with its twin baroque towers, dominates the skyline with a grace that few other Swiss churches can match. Inside, the Abbey Library is often cited as one of the most beautiful rooms in the world. It transports visitors into a Rococo dream of intricate woodwork, gold leaf accents, and breathtaking ceiling frescoes. It is not just a library but a healing place for the soul that offers a level of artistic splendour defining the unique visual identity of the town.
What truly sets St. Gallen apart is the collection of 111 ornate oriel windows that decorate the facades of the Old Town. These meticulously carved and brightly painted bay windows were once status symbols for wealthy textile merchants. Today they turn a simple walk down the street into a gallery tour. When the sun sets and the city lights flicker on, the reflection of these colourful timber framed houses against the dark cobblestones creates a magical and storybook ambiance. For those who believe beauty lies in the details, such as the curve of a wrought iron sign or the vibrant splash of a fresco, St. Gallen is unrivaled.
How many days should you spend in St. Gallen?
When planning a trip to eastern Switzerland, a common question is how much time is needed to truly experience the city. Most travellers find that one to two days is the perfect amount of duration for St. Gallen. Because the Old Town is compact and pedestrian-friendly, you can easily visit the major historical sites and soak up the fairytale atmosphere in a single day.
However, a two-day stay is highly recommended if you wish to use the city as a base to explore the surrounding “pre-Alpine” landscape. Adding a second day allows you to venture into the nearby Appenzell region or visit Mount Säntis without feeling rushed. Whether you are a history buff looking to spend hours in the Abbey Library or a nature lover wanting to swim in the Three Ponds, here is the best way to structure your time.
How to Spend a Day in St. Gallen
Suggested 1 or 2 Day St. Gallen Itinerary
Day 1: Culture and Cobblestones
• Morning: Begin at the UNESCO Abbey District. Spend an hour marvelling at the Baroque Cathedral before heading into the Abbey Library to see the world-famous Rococo interiors and ancient manuscripts.
• Lunch: Grab a traditional St. Galler Bratwurst from a street stall (remember, no mustard) and a crusty Bürli roll.
• Afternoon: Take a self-guided walking tour of the Old Town. Focus on finding the 111 oriel windows on streets like Spisergasse and Schmiedgasse. Afterward, visit the Textile Museum to learn about the city’s high-fashion history. To truly uncover the hidden stories behind the ornate facades, we highly recommend booking a guided walking tour of the Old Town, which is the best way to ensure you don’t miss the most significant of the 111 oriel windows or the sectret alleyways that make this city so special.
• Evening: Ride the Mühleggbahn funicular up to the Drei Weieren (Three Ponds) for a sunset view over the city and Lake Constance. If you would like to unwind, you can take a boat tour to one of Lake Constance’s dreamlike bays. Here you’ll glide through turquoise waters, feel the silence of nature, and recharge your batteries, surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the Alps and the wide horizon. For adventure junkies there is also the option to book a snorkeling tour or enjoy a speed boat tour of the lake.
Day 2: Mountains and Tradition
• Morning: Use your Swiss Travel Pass and take a short train or bus ride into the heart of the Appenzell region. Explore the town’s brightly painted wooden houses and visit a local cheese dairy to sample the famous Appenzeller cheese.
• Afternoon: Continue to Schwägalp and take the cable car to the summit of Mount Säntis. On a clear day, the panoramic view stretches across six different countries. For a special treat you could book a private nature safari with an expert guide to check out all the wildlife and plants in Switerland’s most beautiful region.
• Evening: Return to St. Gallen for dinner at a traditional “Erststock-Beizli” (a second-story tavern) to enjoy a final authentic Swiss meal in a historic timber-framed building.
Nearby Lake Constance and the Appenzellerland offer numerous outdoor activities, during summer and winter months. Mt. Säntis, the highest peak of the region is reached by a modern cable car, and from its top the view over St. Gallen and the Bodensee Region is astonishing – on a clear day the panorama includes all of the neighbouring countries of Switzerland.
How Do I Get to St. Gallen?
By plane
Zurich-Kloten is the nearest international airport to St. Gallen; the journey on direct trains from/to the airport takes less than one hour. The EuroAirport in Basel-Mulhouse is within 2.5 hours by train, Geneva-Cointrin within 4 hours, as is Munich Airport. St. Gallen also has a small regional airport Altenrhein (20 km / 12.4 miles from St. Gallen’s centre) with just a few international flights (mainly to/from Vienna, Austria).
By train
We visited St. Gallen during our Grand Train Tour of Switzerland. The Grand Train Tour of Switzerland merges the most beautiful panoramic lines, such as the Gotthard Panorama Express and the Glacier Express into one unique route. There is no prescribed direction or duration. You can hop on and off wherever you please and create your own itinerary like we did. You can experience the entire tour with only one single ticket – the Swiss Travel Pass. St. Gallen is well connected to the Swiss and the international railway network. There are direct non-stop trains to/from Zurich connecting to/from numerous national and international trains such as the ICE.
To make your journey across Switzerland as seamless as possible, you might be wondering is the Swiss Travel Pass worth it for a visit to this region? In St. Gallen, the pass is particularly valuable as it grants you free entry to the Abbey Library (which usually costs 18 CHF) and covers all your travel on the city’s buses and the Mühleggbahn funicular. It is an excellent way to save money if you plan on taking the train to nearby Appenzell or heading up Mount Säntis. Check out our full guide on the Swiss Travel Pass here to see exactly how much you can save on your Swiss adventure.
By private tour
You may only be visiting for a short time so it is possible to see St. Gallen on a private tour from your base location of either Zurich or Basel. Begin your adventure with a scenic train ride to the Appenzell region, a picturesque area known for its rolling green hills, traditional farmhouses, and vibrant Swiss culture.
Then, ascend to the summit of Mount Säntis by cable car. The ride itself is an exhilarating experience, gliding above dramatic cliffs and mountain slopes. When you reach the top, you’ll be greeted by spectacular panoramic views stretching across six countries on a clear day: Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, France, and Italy.
Next, explore St. Gallen’s charming Old Town. Wander through cobblestone streets and admire the bay windows of the historic buildings.
Finally, step inside the UNESCO-listed Abbey Library of St. Gallen, one of the oldest and most stunning libraries in the world. This Rococo masterpiece houses a priceless collection of ancient manuscripts, medieval volumes, and rare texts dating back over 1,400 years.

Visit the Abbey Cathedral of St. Gall
Dominating the skyline of St. Gallen is the Abbey of St Gall, an 8th-century monastery now home to one of the world’s foremost medieval centres.
For a lot of its history it was either a separate principality or a city state, with a population of 70,000. The present cathedral building is from after the monastery’s heyday and dates to the middle of the 18th century. It is stunning! Built in a beautiful Baroque style the facade is almost overwhelming and it is hard to believe than even more beauty lies inside its doors.
There are sculptures on almost every surface and the colour scheme of turquoise and beige resembles few churches in the world.
The cathedral is open to the public all year round and is free to visit.
To fully appreciate the real beauty of St. Gallen take a private architecture tour with a local.
Abbey Library of St. Gall (Stiftsbibliothek)
Constructed around the same time as the Abbey Cathedral, Abbey Library has one of the most stunning interiors that you will ever see. The library building houses the oldest literature collection in Switzerland, and one of the oldest and richest in the world.
It all dates from the 8th-century Carolingian monastery and includes thousands of manuscripts and early prints. It is considered one of the high points of the Rococo style in Switzerland and was decorated by Peter Thumb of the Vorarlberg School. The Abbey Library, with its magnificent, dreamlike hall lined with leather-bound tomes under a vaulted frescoed sky, is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. The inscription above its entrance reads ΨYXHΣ IATPEION, meaning ‘healing place for the soul’, and we are sure that anyone who’s ever got lost in a good book can attest to this.
Even if you’re not into ancient books, walking through this meticulously designed hall is awe-inspiring! Admission to the library is free with your Swiss Travel Pass. If not, it’ll be 18 CHF well spent.
Get the best photos of Abbey Cathedral from the rooftop of St. Lawrence Church
If you fancy snapping some amazing photos of the cathedral and its surroundings from above, plan your day around visiting this 360 degree viewing platform. Climb the tower for mgnificent views over the town’s terracotta rooftops and spires. It is a bit of a mission though because the tower is only open from March-November, Monday-Saturday at 10am and 3pm for one hour only.
The present building dates back to the 15th century, but it was entirely reconstructed from 1850 to 1854 and now is a basilica in neo-Gothic style. After climbing the tower, you will have a wonderful view over the roofs of St. Gallen. This church is beautiful, with its mosaic-tiled roof, delicate floral frescos and star-studded ceiling resembling a night sky. It is a very pretty church, with an eclectic roof design and very intricate, well maintained interior.
Grab a pew and people watch at Gallus Square
Gallus Square has to be one of our favourite squares in St. Gallen to just grab a seat and people watch. Right next to the Abbey District, Gallus square invites you to take a break, chill out on a bench and watch the city life take its course. It is so picturesque there with brightly painted timber-framed homes, a beautiful fountain and a statue of St. Gall, the patron saint of the city. It is this type of architecture that makes you feel like you are somehow the main character in a whimsical fairytale!
Right next to Chocolaterie Kölbener, it’s the perfect spot to take in the peaceful surroundings of St. Gallen while enjoying a yummy chocolate dessert.
Search for the Oriel windows in St. Gallen Old Town
Before this trip we hadn’t heard the phrase oriel windows before but we quickly learned what they were. An oriel window is a form of bay window which protrudes from the main wall of a building but does not reach to the ground. Supported by corbels, brackets, or similar cantilevers, an oriel window is most commonly found projecting from an upper floor but is also sometimes used on the ground floor. You know! The ones that you see in fairytales!
There are 111 oriel windows in St. Gallen’s old town, each one a work of art. Intricately carved and lavishly decorated, these windows were a sign of worldliness and wealth, adorning burgher houses in the 17th and 18th centuries. The oriel windows in St. Gallen old town all tell their own story representing legends and mythical figures, historic events, and tales of riches and textile merchants.
Some of St. Gallen’s most magnificent oriel windows can be found on Spisergasse and Kugelgasse, so be sure to visit these alleys during your walking tour of St. Gallen’s old town.
Kunstmuseum St. Gallen
The city’s art museum has masterpieces from the Late Middle Ages to the 20th century. In the collection are paintings by Renaissance masters like Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt and the museum’s reserve is massive! The building, constructed in 1877 by Johann Christoph Kunkler in the neoclassical style, invites you to stroll through art from the past and present.
The second “venue” of the art museum, the Lokremise‘s art zone, functions as a cultural testing ground for contemporary art. Close proximity to the cinema and theatre allows for exciting content synergies, and the raw and unfinished interior ensures that the act of creating a work almost seems to take precedence over the finished product.
Take a ride on the Mühleggbahn
The Mühleggbahn is a 316m long inclined lift heading up and down Mühleggschlucht, a gorge right behind the Abbey District of St. Gallen. Back in 1893, when the Mühleggbahn was established, it was the first means of public transport in town. The ride between St. Gallen and St. Georgen takes only 90 seconds. From the top, Drei Weieren (a beautiful recreational area with ponds) is only a couple of minutes away. The Drei Weieren should still be on your itinerary even if you don’t intend to go swimming. The panorama of the city, Lake Constance, and Germany is spectacular.
Take a break at Stadtlounge
The Stadtlounge or Red Square is the hangout of choice for uni students, and merits a visit in the evening when the artistic orbs above the square are illuminated. The entire area is carpeted in tiny red rubber granules and the square was furnished with sun loungers, tables and chairs, so now the space resembles a living room in the middle of the city. You will also find a red Ferrari that kids enjoy to play on. All these opportunities to relax make the city lounge a great spot to take a break from all the museum visits, sightseeing and stair-climbing.
To find this piece of modern art, walk down Vadianstrasse towards the train station and keep looking left. It’s unmissable!
The Golden Rule of St. Gallen: Hands Off the Mustard!
If you want to blend in like a local, there is one culinary law you simply cannot break: never ask for mustard with your St. Galler Bratwurst. While most of the world treats mustard as a mandatory companion to sausage, in St. Gallen, doing so is considered a genuine faux pas. The locals are fiercely proud of the specific recipe used here, which has been protected by an IGP (Identified Geographic Profession) status since 2007.
The St. Galler Bratwurst is unique because it is made with a high proportion of veal and a touch of fresh milk, giving it a distinctively pale colour and a delicate, creamy texture. It is seasoned with a precise blend of mace, coriander, and cardamom that provides a sophisticated flavour profile intended to stand entirely on its own. To cover that taste with the sharp acidity of mustard is seen as an insult to the butcher’s craft.
When you order your bratwurst from a traditional street stall or a local butcher like Metzgerei Schmid, it will be handed to you with a traditional Bürli (a crusty, hand-broken bread roll). The authentic way to eat it is to break off a piece of bread with one hand and hold the hot sausage in the other, alternating bites between the two. If you truly want to experience the “most beautiful town in Switzerland” like a resident, skip the condiments and let the quality of the meat speak for itself.
Top 5 Places to Eat in St. Gallen
• Metzgerei Schmid (Gourmet Butcher): This is the local gold standard for an authentic St. Galler Bratwurst. You can buy it hot from the street window and eat it with a fresh Bürli roll while exploring the Old Town.
• Wirtschaft zur Alten Post (Traditional Swiss): Located right next to the Abbey District, this is a beautiful wood-panelled restaurant serving regional classics like sliced veal and, of course, the local bratwurst in a more formal setting.
• Weinstube zum Bäumli (First-floor Beizli): A historic gem dating back to 1422. This first-floor tavern is famous for its atmospheric heritage and serving incredible Rösti and veal liver.
• Fondue Beizli (Swiss Specialities): If you are looking for the quintessential Swiss cheese fondue or raclette in St. Gallen, this is the most popular and cosy spot in the heart of the Old Town.
• Kaffeehaus (Historic Café): Set in a former police station, this café is perfect for a coffee and a piece of Biberli (the local spiced gingerbread). It perfectly captures the city’s refined old-world café culture.
Pro-Tip: Many of St. Gallen’s most authentic restaurants are located on the first floor (the second floor for Americans) of historic buildings. These are known as “Erststock-Beizli”. Look for the small, unassuming doors at street level with menus posted beside them!
When is the best time to visit St. Gallen?
The best time to visit St. Gallen depends on what you want to experience:
• May to September (Best for Weather): This is the peak season for exploring the Old Town and hiking in the nearby Appenzell Alps. The Three Ponds are perfect for swimming during these months and the outdoor café culture is at its most vibrant.
• December (Best for Atmosphere): St. Gallen is known as the “City of Stars” during Advent. With 700 large stars glowing above the Old Town and one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Switzerland, it is a truly magical winter destination. If you do happen to be visiting Switzerland during winter, Lucerne in winter should also be on your radar.
• October (Best for Foodies): This is the time of the OLMA (Swiss Fair for Agriculture and Food). It is a massive event where the St. Galler Bratwurst takes centre stage and the city is filled with local festivities.
Where to stay in St. Gallen Old Town
Einstein St. Gallen
During our time in St. Gallen old town we stayed in the beautiful and perfectly located Einstein St. Gallen Hotel. If you plan on spending most of your time exploring St. Gallen old town then you can’t pick a better hotel as it is situated just across the road from the entrance into the old town, the UNESCO World Heritage Centre of Abbey St. Gall and is also only a five minute walk to the main train station.
This 4* Superior Hotel has 113 refurbished and air conditioned rooms and suites. It was voted one of the top congress locations in Switzerland at the Swiss Location Award multiple times. The Einstein St. Gallen is a member of the Swiss Hospitality Collection.
The Einstein St. Gallen is closely linked to the textile industry. The neo-classical five-floor building was built in 1830 by textile supplier Jacob Allgaeuer’s widow. A proactive businesswoman, she ran a finishing atelier in the building. Years later, the town soup kitchen had its home on the ground floor.
The American embroidery factory owner Isaac D. Einstein saw an advantage in the existing textile industry of St. Gallen and had the old building converted into an embroidery factory by the architect Karl August Hiller in 1884. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Einstein-Hirsch & Cie. was active here, and from 1936 the Adolf Hahn company. By this time, however, the golden age of the St. Gallen embroidery industry had long since passed.
In 1978, the St. Gallen textile manufacturer Max Kriemler bought the property, renovated it from top to bottom and turned it into the four-star hotel, Einstein St. Gallen, which was opened in 1983. 20 years later, the hotel’s success story was continued when Max Kriemler decided to extend the Einstein into the adjacent building, adding a further 48 new and modern rooms. Today, the Einstein has 113 rooms, the Einstein Gourmet with view over the rooftops of the historic centre, the elegant Einstein Bar with its English style and one of the most modern fitness parks in Switzerland.
All rooms reflect the history of textiles from St. Gallen, which feature throughout the Einstein St. Gallen. The rooms are furnished with natural materials, cherry wood parquet and bed linen of the finest St. Gallen quality. All rooms are equipped with a safe, LED TV, mini bar, air conditioning and free WLAN. The bathrooms are crafted from marble and granite and have a hair dryer, towel heater, bathrobe and slippers.
We just fell in love with St. Gallen with its half-timbered buildings, burgher houses with their oriels, soaring towers of St. Gallen Cathedral, and other decorative touches that made this city one of the most picturesque that we have ever seen. If you are planning a Switzerland itinerary you need to add at least one day and night in St. Gallen.
