This university town in the northeast of Switzerland is near the border of Germany, Austria and Lichtenstein. St. Gallen has a charming old town with burgher houses and painted oriel windows dating back to the 16th century. Its Baroque cathedral and Abbey Library are listed as a World Heritage Site. The library has been here for over 1000 years and has a beautiful Rococo hall. For more history, visit the Textile Museum that contains embroidery from as early at the 14th century. Then sweeten your stay with a stop at Schoggiland: the Maestrani chocolate factory.
