St. Margrethen is located at the entrance to the Rhine Valley between St. Gallen and Bregenz, directly at the Swiss-Austrian border. The border location, the recreational area along the old Rhine, and the mineral spa have leisure potential.

Since Roman times, the Splügen route (as well as Julier, Septimer, and San Bernardino) with its access through the Rhine Valley has been an important, lucrative transport axis. St. Margrethen owes its Roman origins and later medieval castles (the Grimmenstein castle complex on a steep rock spur with a view of the Rhine Valley and Lake Constance) to this circumstance.

St. Margrethen is an important transport hub as a border crossing and train station (e.g., direct trains to Munich). From the nearby Altenrhein airport, there are several flight connections. The convenient location near the border shapes the town, which attracts many visitors with its shopping center in small border traffic.

While the Rhine often flooded the estuary area in the past, the Fussacher Durchstich completed in 1900 provided relief - and with the "Old Rhine," a small, gentle river course that has since been upgraded to a nature-friendly recreational area. The Bruggerhorn area on the Old Rhine is now a popular local recreation area in St. Margrethen with an idyllic beach, campsite, and tennis courts. The nature reserve Eselschwanz also deserves mention, offering beautiful paths along the Rhine for hikers and joggers. Active relaxation can also be enjoyed with a visit to the mineral spa with its bathing and therapy options, saunas, and solariums.

The mild climate has allowed viticulture in the St. Gallen Rhine Valley to flourish again in recent years. The flat valley floor is also ideal for cyclists and skaters. And between St. Margrethen and Au, the Heldsberg fortress museum reminds of the threats of World War II.
