St. Gallen at a glance

St. Gallen is the main city of eastern Switzerland and the capital of the canton of St. Gallen. It is German-speaking and grew up around its abbey: the Abbey District, with its baroque library, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the city's embroidery trade once made its name known around the world. Today the University of St. Gallen (HSG) brings many students, some from abroad. The city stretches along a narrow valley, with quarters such as Rosenberg and Rotmonten climbing the slopes – worth knowing when you ask for help carrying furniture. Most homes are rented flats, so cleaning, moving help, furniture assembly and tutoring are common requests. Tenancies can customarily be ended at the end of any month except December.
