St. Gallen Youth Hostel is only a 10-minute walk from the "Drei Weieren", where you can cool off wonderfully in summer in the family pool with its originally preserved art nouveau bathhouse. Just as quickly, you'll be in the city, which is inspiring in many different ways. Ancient oriels adorn the house facades, and the Abbey District - a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983 - captivates with its Baroque cathedral and the impressive collection of manuscripts in the magnificent Abbey Library. A very attractive cultural life also delights city residents and guests. Animal encounters await you at Walter Zoo Adventure Land and Peter and Paul Wildlife Park.
