St. Gallen
Step into St. Gallen, where a 7th-century hermitage founded by the Irish monk Gallus grew into one of Europe’s great centers of learning. At its heart lies the Abbey District, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to the stunning Baroque Cathedral and the world-famous Abbey Library, one of the oldest libraries on earth. Wander into the Old Town and look up—over 100 beautifully decorated oriel windows still line the streets, a striking legacy of St. Gallen’s booming embroidery and textile era that once made the city a global powerhouse of craftsmanship and style.
