Wil

Wil is a historic abbey town in the canton of St. Gallen and is considered the gateway to Toggenburg. The best-preserved old town in eastern Switzerland impresses with picturesque half-timbered houses, romantic arcades, and the monumental Hof zu Wil. A spacious pedestrian zone borders directly on the traffic-calmed old town, and the distinctive Wiler Tower offers panoramic views from the Lake Constance region to the Alps. Thanks to its central location, Wil is a popular destination for day trips in eastern Switzerland.

“The castle was much bigger inside than expected, with amazing history and stunning artefacts. It was a great time of year to visit, not too crowded, and the whole experience was interesting. Walking where people walked hundreds of years ago felt humbling.”
