Mabuhay, welcome to Ganap Suwiso. Swiss happenings right now! 

@ St. Gall's Old New City!

Traffic free old city. Cobbled street and beautiful oriel windows will send you day dreaming. The display of beautiful traditional timber framed houses, at the old city surroundings, will feel like you’re part of a children’s story book. The St Gallen Cathedral is impressive! It is known to be one of the last monumental sacred buildings in Europe. The Abbey library a Rococo inspired interior will blow your mind. Finally, the square in front of the cathedral will give you somewhat an idea of the ambitious klosterplan. The idea is that it supposed to house about 110 monks, 115 lay visitors, and 150 craftsmen and agricultural workers. The original plan is kept at the famous medieval monastery library of the Abbey of St. Gall, the Stiftsbibliothek Sankt Gallen where it remains to this day. 

St Gallen is the center of east Switzerland.

It is capital of the canton St Gallen. Founded in the 7th century. Today it is a large urban city with about 167k inhabitants. 

Main Tourist interest is the Abbey of Saint Gallen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Abbey Library, it’s impressive collection of old books from the 9th century and the impressive interior with frescoed ceiling, and serious woodwork detailing. 

The new attraction is the city lounge.The "city lounge" by artist Pipilotti Rist and architect Carlos Martinez invites you to relax and marvel.

St Gallen has good transport connections to the rest of Switzerland.
