St. Gallen, Switzerland

St. Gallen is the metropolis of eastern Switzerland, a charming city full of life between the Lake Constance and the Alps in the heart of Europe. Colorfully-painted oriel windows are a town feature. As a place intimately connected with the history of Europe and located in the magnificent landscape of Eastern Switzerland, St. Gallen provides an ideal setting for a conference. Part of the city, the Abbey Precinct, is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. The Church – today’s Cathedral – dates from the late Baroque period and is one of the last monumental Baroque monastery buildings in the Western world. The Abbey Library possesses a unique collection of early medieval manuscripts. The city of St. Gallen is within a 55-minute direct train ride from the Zurich Airport.
