St.Gallen in the heart of Eastern Switzerland has a wide variety of tourist attractions. Discover the diversity of the region from Lake Bodensee and the Four-Countries Corner to the gently rolling pre-Alpine landscape with Mount Santis. St.Gallen, the small metropolis of Eastern Switzerland, is, in many ways, like a large cosmopolitan city. And this title suits it well. It owes this reputation not just to the monastery complex, which is a World Cultural Heritage Site, but also to the success of its textile industry. Rorschach by Lake Bodensee is a vibrant and bustling little lakeside town with pretty town houses and the Forum Wurth with its unique art collection.

The Abbey Library St. Gallen, famous for its beautiful baroque hall, is one of the oldest libraries in the world. And it holds one of the most important manuscript collections in Europe, especially for the Carolingian and Ottonian period from the 8th to the 11th century. The collection is presented to the visitors in changing and thematised expositions. The library forms the central part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Convent of St. Gallen.
