St. Gallen - What can you do in autumn/winter?

Ausblick auf St. Gallen im WInter

The old town of St. Gallen stretches north of the monastery district in the area of Spisergasse and Multergasse with its numerous stores. The Collegiate Church of St.Gallen (today's cathedral, also known as the Dom by locals) is a work of the late Baroque period. Founded in 719, the abbey library is one of the oldest and most beautiful libraries in the world and one of the only early medieval monastic libraries with a surviving book collection. The St. Laurenzenkirche is, next to the cathedral, the most important church in the city, from the tower you have a magnificent view over the city. The permanent exhibition in the Textile Museum looks at the historical development of the textile industry in eastern Switzerland and its involvement in world markets. Until the end of World War I, St. Gallen embroidery represented the most important sector of Swiss exports.

Tips for hiring - insurance

Ausblick auf St. Gallen

Before you book an offer, it should be clarified which insurance coverage you imagine. A distinction in offers is made that include either a Full coverage with deductible or a Full coverage without deductible. With the first, they are liable themselves with the deposit, which is usually as high as the liability amount of the deductible. With a fully comprehensive insurance without deductible, the deposit amount is also retained in the event of damage, but you will be fully refunded. We generally recommend a fully comprehensive insurance without deductible, because this way you can counteract a possible risk of being held liable for damages yourself. Also possible is the conclusion of an insurance to protect glass and tyres as well as it is possible a Underground protection or a roof insurance to book.

Deposit for booking a hired car

Kathedrale in St. Gallen

The amount of the mentioned deposit can always be found in the rental conditions. It serves as protection for the agent. The deposit is usually deposited with a credit card. For this purpose, the amount is blocked on the credit card account for the duration of the rental and released again when the vehicle is returned flawlessly. Remember to fill up the credit card with the appropriate amount early enough before hiring the car. If you do not do this and there is not the appropriate deposit amount on the credit card, you will not get the booked hired car.

Traffic rules Switzerland - What do I have to pay attention to?

Ausblick auf St. Gallen

The traffic laws in Switzerland are really strict and the penalties for traffic violations are high. You can follow the traffic rules quite quickly, as most of them are written on the road signs. Some rules that are not on the signs are: The most important rule is that there is right-hand traffic. If you come to an crossroads and you don't find any right of way signs, right rules before left! In the evening or at night you are obliged to drive with dipped headlights, during the day with daylight. On the whole, however, you don’t need to fear any difficulties in switching to swiss traffic rules. One difference in Switzerland is that you must display a valid freeway vignette on the windscreen when using a freeway or expressway. However, the hired car provider should have equipped their vehicles with one anyway. This way, you will only have to pay tolls for individual tunnels or mountain passes on a case-by-case basis. Speed limits differ from those in other countries, especially on highways.

  • Interurban: 50 km/h
  • Out of town: 80 km/h
  • Freeways: 100 km/h
  • Highways: 120 km/h
