A journey through St. Gallen UNESCO sites, Gothic churches, and the city’s vibrant Old Town.

Begin your day at the Abbey of Saint Gall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the Abbey Library dazzles with its Rococo hall, ancient manuscripts, and the oldest known architectural plan from the Middle Ages. Next, marvel at the St. Gallen Cathedral, with its soaring twin towers, opulent Baroque interior, and one of Switzerland’s largest organs. Then, visit the St. Laurenzen Church, a Gothic masterpiece with a slender spire and peaceful churchyard. As you stroll through Domplatz, Marktplatz, and Roter Platz, admire the colorful, ornate bay windows. Pass by the Synagogue, the Textile Museum, and the UBS building, topped with a small replica of the Statue of Liberty. Notice the ancient walls that once divided the Catholic monastery from the Protestant city after the Reformation. Explore the Old Town’s narrow alleys and discover the 15th-century Gallus Gate and historic Waaghaus.
