Saint Gallen attractions
The St. Gallen Stiftsbibliothek , in the Abbey of St. Gallen , is St. Gallen's most famous tourist attraction. The Stiftsbibliothek contains many books dating back from the early Medieval times, and the library itself is a stunning piece of baroque architecture.
Within the city center, just a short while from the Stiftsbibliothek, there are several museums:
Kunstmuseum St. Gallen
Kunst Halle St. Gallen
Point Jaune Museum
Naturmuseum St. Gallen
Textilmuseum which displays St. Gallen's rich history as a center for textile production and design.
If you are interested in beer, visit St. Gallen's local brewery, Schutzengarten . Schutzengarten also hosts a beer bottle museum and a restaurant next door to the brewery itself.
On top of the northern hill at Rotmonten there is the Peter und Paul Wildlife park .
On the top of the southern hill there are three little lakes called "die drei Weihern". In the summer you can swim there and you also have a nice view over the city. It is an excellent place to jog or simply spend an afternoon.
At the eastern corner of the city you can find the Botanical Garden which houses over 8000 plants.
In August there is the Inline one-eleven, 111km Inlining Marathon.
