St. Gallen is a city in the northeastern part of Switzerland and is also the capital of the eponymous canton, with around 80,000 inhabitants.
The city is part of the economically significant Eastern Switzerland and serves as a regional center between Zurich and the Four-Country Corner (Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein). It is nestled between Lake Constance in the north and the Alpstein massif in the south, making it strategically well-positioned both economically and touristically. Thanks to good transport connections - by train, road, and the nearby St. Gallen-Altenrhein airport - the city is also easily accessible internationally.
The city is known for its rich cultural heritage, particularly the baroque Abbey Library and the Abbey District ensemble, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. St. Gallen is also a significant educational location - with the University of St. Gallen (HSG), which is internationally recognized for business and law. The city combines historical buildings with modern urbanity and is an attractive place to live, work, and study.
