Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 786 reviews
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.

Beautiful, we came to St Gallen specifically for the Library and Cathedral and they exceeded expectations. The Audio Guide is a must as you learn so much about EVERYTHING around St Gallen... not just the Library. Guide was easy to use with a great wee map. I loved visiting.

You are hot on the trail of the best-kept secret!Cheese-making tools at hand, the aroma of the herbal brine in your nostrils, while you watch the cheesebeing made: welcome to Appenzell’s Cheese Paradise.Insights into the Cheese-maker’s ArtYou can follow the manufacture of Appenzeller cheese from the visitors’ gallery, looking straight down into the 6,500-litre cheese vat where the milk is prepared and the cheese harp is drawn through the thickened jelly. The sight of 13,500 cheese wheels six metres below, where a robot takes care of them, is most impressive.The film in several languages (German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Russian, Finnish) in the Dairy Cinema provides additional information. On request, trained hostesses will act as your guide and explain everything.

We had an pre-booked organised trip here. The tour started with a short video explaining the process and this was followed by looking down into where the cheese is actually being made. Obviously the whole process takes months so we could not see the finished cheese! The best bit was at the end of the tour where we got to taste various cheeses in the shop. If you like chesse that is strong and tasty buy the one in my photograph!

Great little train for getting out and about into the countryside. Runs every 30 minutes, stops many times all along the way, but good connecting transportation and scenic views of Appenzeller land. We took it to Wasseraun to connect with cable car to Ebenalp. Also connects to Santis and Kronberg, or just to various walking paths. Free with 3 night hotel stay.

I spent 2 hours in the swimming pool complex, it was great.
The installations are quite good, and offers a lot of fun for a wide range of ages.
There's a swimming pool for kids and a couple slide as well. Then there's a big wave pool and several more slides for grown ups. The best in my opinion was the outside swimming pool, it was snowing outside, but the warm water did the job. Great experience.
Also available a cafeteria inside.

Visited this small zoo outside holiday season thus rather quiet. Some functions outside closed. Tigers can be approached closely. Nice chimpanzees area, both outside and inside. New Savanna house just opened a few weeks ago. Great building, warm inside, nice design. Overall nice compact zoo
7. Convent of St. Gall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 327 reviews
The Cathedral represents one of the last monumental Baroque monastic constructions in Europe. It was built from 1755 to 1767 under the direction of Vorarlberg native and master builder Johann Michael Beer. The choir stalls with 84 lovely carved seats and the historic organ are works of art in and of themselves. Every Tuesday, there is a Evening Prayer (Domvesper)at 5.30 P.M. The inside of the church is painted in vibrant colours and adorned with stucco, and the interior is decorated with numerous carvings. A serene atmosphere prevails in the church thanks to the soft lighting and malachite green stucco. After the secularisation of the Convent in 1805, the church became a parish church and 1847 at the same time Cathedral of the new founded diocese. In 2013, the altar area was renewed. Especially impressive is the baptism Fountain with the respecting of the frescos of the cupola. Beside the different liturgy Services and Concerts there are also guided tours, for example from may to September every Saturday at 10.30 A.M. (Free admission, collect).

... late baroque with rich yet tasteful decoration. Surprising low ceiling. Few visitors on a sunday winter morning. A bit of a shame that larger parts are locked and not available for visti. Maybe for guided tours but not to the public ?

There are two permanent and one temporary Exhibitions in the Zeughaus Teufen: - The Grubenmann-Museum - The Hans Zeller-Paintings - Temporary exhibition
Reviewed By Iris S - Teufen, Switzerland
The museum shows an interesting part of the local architecture in Teufen and the whole Appenzellerland. The Grubenmann brothers built a lot of churches and Bridges in the region. At the moment there is an interesting exhibition of their architecture in a modern adaption.

Extremely informative. We watched a short film about some Swiss customs which was particularly interesting as on the way to Stein we had got stuck behind a parade of cows! There was a cheese making demonstration and interesting displays. Very well worth a visit.
10. Cathedral

Reviewed By KodoDrummer - Yekaterinburg, Russia
This 8th century Roman Catholic, Carolingian-architecture Cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which was originally founded in 719 as a monastery. From 747 to 1805, it functioned as an abbey. Although construction of the majority of the current Cathedral commenced in 1755, some walls and other parts date back to the 9th and 10th centuries. The reliquary is home to the tombs of St. Gallus, St. Otmar, and a few bishops and abbots. St. Otmar is credited with being the cathedral’s founder. It was built on the grounds which formerly housed the hermitage of St. Gallus.
The 8th and 9th century north European Pre-Romanesque Carolingian-styled architecture, frescoes, and paintings are amazingly beautiful. The interior decorations, sculptors, and murals are amazingly beautiful.
Don’t forget to also visit the abbey’s library.
Very amazing to find such a beautiful Cathedral and library in a city with a population of about 76,000.
