Culinary specialities, fashion and tradition from Eastern Switzerland
Shopping is an experience in St.Gallen. Thanks to its textile history, the fashion-conscious city has a unique selection of upscale clothing stores and fabric boutiques. A special book, a colourful scarf – and a Christmas tree ornament in the shape of the Abbey Church, something that only exists in St.Gallen.
St.Gallen is also considered somewhat of a culinary oasis. Known for its bratwurst, the region has far more to offer. The St.Gallen biber, a special kind of gingerbread from the 15th century, is still a special treat today and a popular souvenir. The world’s best amber beer, the Klosterbräu, is made in the oldest brewery in Switzerland – the Schützengarten brewery in the city of St.Gallen. And delicate, smooth red and white wines can be sampled in the Rhine Valley.
