Begin your adventure with a scenic train ride to the Appenzell region, a picturesque area known for its rolling green hills, traditional farmhouses, and vibrant Swiss culture.

Next, explore St. Gallen’s charming Old Town. Wander through cobblestone streets and admire the bay windows of the historic buildings.
