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.

“5 stars for the mountain views, lucky with the weather and to be seated on the revolving part of the restaurant. Most of the cable staff were confused with this app/ticket, only one out of six knew to scan the QR code with a different app, the rest let us through the barrier with a couple of them saying we should have had a paper or different sort of ticket. No extra cost etc. but be warned. Waitress in the restaurant didn't recognise the ticket either so had to check with a manager but all good in the end. Meat and cheese board for 2 people as expected - four different ones of each, a couple of pieces of cheese, four slices of each meat.”
