In the swiss town of St. Gallen Christmas and the Holiday Season would not be the same without the famous St. Galler Biber by Confiserie Roggwiller. Founded in the Year 1941 the Confiserie offers the finest products, and one speciality, St. Galler Biber. They are often imitated but have never been duplicated. The “Biber” is…

In a Town with many Sights, something has to be really special to stick out. A true Highlight is the Abbey library of St. Gallen, what is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for reason. Right now there is a special Exhibition, ‘Fascination of the Alphabet – the Evolution of Latin Script’. In this exhibition, you…

First off, Hotel Einstein St. Gallen has nothing to do with world-famous theoretical physicist Albert Einstein. Hotel Einstein is named after one of the former owners of the House, Isaak David Einstein. The five storey building was built in 1830 and wasn’t a Hotel from the beginning. It was used by the textile industry until…

The Restaurant with (probably the best) view of St. Gallen is Falkenburg close to the Dreilinden Ponds. Situated on one of the hills enclosing St. Gallen the Restaurant can be easily reached from the City Centre by foot on walking paths or, more convenient, by Mühleggbahn. As it was both foggy and dark when I…

Taking a Frecciargento High-Speed Train to Milan, from Zurich, was a very good decision. Actually, I planned to take a long distance bus to Milan, but it turned out the Train Ticket I bought via SBB, the Swiss Federal Railways, was even cheaper than the Bus Ticket. 21 CHF for the Train from Zurich to…

When flying from Amsterdam to Zurich what Airline will you prefer? Exactly, of course KLM, the Royal Dutch Airlines. This now is my first, of hopefully many more, KLM Flight Review. KLM was founded 1919 in the Netherlands and is the oldest Airline still operating under its original name. But besides this long tradition and…

Flying Business Class is always something special, and so was my Business Class flight with SWISS from Hanover to Zurich. As a ‘Frequent Flyer’ with more than 100 Flights in 2014, I’ve already experienced a lot. Troubles, failed landings due to bad weather, super friendly stewardesses and quite unfriendly ones. So, every time I’m flying…

Somehow I have a thing for inclined elevators and funiculars, it’s like the joy of a kid when riding a regular elevator for the first time. To go up the hills outside St. Gallen I’ve chosen the Mühleggbahn St. Gallen for a one-way ride on the mountain. The valley station is easy to reach and…

For my first visit to St. Gallen I’ve joined the (daily) Guided City Tour in St. Gallen, starting at 11:30 am in front of the Tourist Information in the Central District. Guided City Tours are a great possibility to explore a City you’ve never been to. If you don’t know any local to show you…

Having access to free WiFi Networks is mandatory on Travels. Especially if you are in another Country and want to avoid these still (way too) high roaming costs for mobile data. When I went to St. Gallen in eastern Switzerland I’ve been always scanning Cafés, Restaurants and public places for a “Free WiFi” or “Public…
