The city of encounters

Compact centre and top living

St.Gallen – the city of short journeys. The old part of the city centre is packed with historic architecture, cinemas, shopping centres, weekly markets and tranquil parks. Several squares with cosy restaurants, animated and urbane shopping streets and quiet historic alleyways are all a short walk away. This guarantees both exciting encounters and a sense of familiarity, like the many associations active in the city and its neighbourhoods. There are several first-class recreation areas within walking distance or a short trip by public transport. At the same time, St.Gallen has all the amenities of a large city. Shopping and leisure centres with a broad range of offers are all in the immediate vicinity of the city centre. Yet for all its compactness, St.Gallen is cosmopolitan in its makeup. A number of population groups and nationalities live alongside one another. Young and old, large families, single people, tourists and locals all mix with each other.

St.Gallen has much to offer in the way of leisure and sports. Dozens of clubs have something for just about every activity and all ages. The athletics neues Fenster and Kreuzbleiche centres organise teams for popular and top-class sports. The AFG Arena St.Gallen neues Fenster is home to St.Gallen FC neues Fenster, a premier league club that always draws the crowds.

A comprehensive array of shops draws customers every day. The Shopping Arena neues Fenster, Westcenter and Gallusmarkt shopping centres all have a welcoming, mall-like atmosphere. If you prefer shopping in the historic city centre, it has a broad range of retail stores as the epicentre of your shopping experience.
