Swiss Activities Tip

Visiting the Abbey Library in St. Gallen offers a glimpse into one of the oldest libraries in the world. It features an impressive baroque hall and valuable manuscripts. The baroque monastery church is closely connected architecturally to the library. It is one of Switzerland’s most beautiful sacred buildings. Plan at least one to two hours for both attractions.

Traveling with wheelchair and stroller

  • All carriages are equipped with low-floor access
  • They comply with the latest European disability equality laws

Traveling with dogs

  • Small dogs up to 30 cm at shoulder height can travel free of charge if they stay in a container throughout the journey. This container must be placed under your seat.
  • Dogs without a container and all dogs over 30 cm shoulder height require a valid dog ticket: half the fare of second class or the minimum fare (dog day pass, dog pass). They must sit under the seat to avoid blocking the aisle for other passengers.
