Welcome to the world of textiles!

St.Gallen – the totally textile city! But it wasn't just St.Gallen that was famous around the world for its embroidery in the 19th and 20th centuries. The whole of Eastern Switzerland is a rich tapestry of textile-related history that is as relevant today and in the future as it was in the past. Textile country is always worth a visit!

Exceptional plays in the metropolis of Eastern Switzerland

With its many musical and opera premieres, the capital of Eastern Switzerland can easily keep pace with the world's great cities. The St.Gallen theatre is also the oldest professional theatre on record in Switzerland. Today, concerts are held in the Tonhalle St.Gallen, a concert hall. This architectural jewel was built at the beginning of the 20th century in the neo-Baroque style and completely renovated in 1993.
