· Roter Platz – St Gallen scavenger hunt
The right place to start exploring St. Gallen is Roter Platz. It will ensure that the beginning of your trip is stunning in every possible manner.
The reason is that this location is artistically constructed like no other place in the world.
While the buildings around will give the traditional architectural vibe, the point itself will
have a very unique vibe.
· Broderbrunnen
It is a monument that was constructed in the memory of the water that flew from Lake Constance into
the St. Gallen households in 1895 and this has historical importance for the place.
Now it contains a very beautiful fountain that works as a famous tourist attraction in the place
· Textile museum
This museum was built in 1886 and it is situated right next to the Textile Library.
Both of them are present in the Palazzo Rosso in the old town of St. Gallen.
The interesting thing here is that you can explore the artifacts both from the museum and the library at the same time.
· Old town
Exploring the landmarks is not the only thing you must be after. You can go for some strolling in the old town
and explore some old traditional and cultural products being sold over there.
· Abbey of Saint Gall
The Catholic Religious complex of St. Gallen has this abbey present in it that has existed from the era of 719.
Although it is a pretty historic place, it became an independent principality between the 13th and 9th centuries.
Visiting this place will be an experience like no other because its architectural style is
Carolingian which is hardly found anywhere else in the world today.
· Ortsbürgergemeinde
It is one of the most interesting places that you can visit in St. Gallen. In the 16th century,
it used to be the merchant’s house. However, now it has become the place that is open for rent for private events.
So, it is pretty much possible that you explore the place from inside and outside as well.
· Kirche St. Laurenzen
A church that was first started in the 12th century and then became the religious, social, and political center of St. Gallen.
However, now it is an important historical landmark of the city as well as a famous tourist attraction in St. Gallen.
Marktplatz
Exploring the city is not the only thing that you must be doing in St. Gallen.
So, if you are up for trying some traditional food then it is one of the best restaurants that you can visit.
· Kirche St. Mangen – ending point of St Gallen scavenger hunt
The location dates back to the 9th century but it has been rebuilt several times since then.
The last time it was restored was in 1946 so it is still a historical site that you got to visit in St. Gallen.
While the building looks simple from the outside, the internal views are stunning and classical.
