Lately I have started travelling more frequently again. Not every week. But maybe once or twice a month. Which is actually quite a nice pace. For some of those travels, it means revisiting known places and catching up with old friends.
Although I like revisiting old places, it is the chance of exploring new cities that really rocks my boat. Like during my latest work trip to Switzerland. I was looking forward to it and was hoping to get enough time for a proper St Gallen sightseeing tour.
I even did my homework beforehand and had it all mapped out. Everything there is to see in St Gallen, along with opening times, cost of tickets, you name it. Believe it or not, there is actually quite a bit to see in St Gallen, so it would be a shame to miss it. I am not saying that two hours is sufficient time to see all of St Gallen. Far from it.
I would have gladly spent more time exploring. But my time was limited, so I was determined to make the most of it. That is the downside of business travels. Yes, you might stay in new and unknown places. And whilst this is less of a problem in summer, when it stays light until quite late, now that autumn is fast approaching, it gets dark earlier and earlier. And believe me, sightseeing in the pitch black is possible, but only half the fun. The town has around The city was gradually built around the Abbey of Saint Gall, which was founded in the 8 th century.
Be prepared for quite a bit of history when you visit. Gallen does not have an international airport. The nearest one would be Zurich, which is approx. Or you can get a direct train from Zurich Airport to St Gallen main station. Enough of the introductions.
