St. Gallen

Architectural Buildings · Landmarks · Specialty Museums
The heart of eastern Switzerland, St. Gallen strikes a balance between metropolitan hub and charming historical center. A trip to St. Gallen--home to a UNESCO-protected cathedral and a pedestrian-only historical center--offers a chance to admire impressive architecture and explore one of the world's great libraries. The Rococo-style library has gained worldwide fame for housing over 170,000 historical documents, some more than a thousand years old. No St. Gallen holiday is complete without a tour of the nearby nature, which includes Appenzell Alps and Lake Constance. Add St. Gallen and other destinations to your itinerary using our Switzerland trip builder app, and learn about what to see, what to do, and where to stay.

    Where to stay in St. Gallen

    Kathedrale St.Gallen ©
    The historical center remains the most popular place to stay in St. Gallen, with a handful of mid-range hotels dotted in the streets surrounding the cathedral and the library. There, you'll have easy access to top attractions and excellent public transportation connections on the city's bus and trolleybus network. At the north end of the historical center, you'll find a cluster of budget hotels and bed and breakfasts around the main market square, also a good location for transportation links. A few chain hotels provide comfortable rooms near the city's university campus.
