Car rental at the St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport

The old town of St. Gallen stretches north of the monastery district in the area of Spisergasse and Multergasse with its numerous stores. The Collegiate Church of St.Gallen (today's cathedral, also known as the Dom by locals) is a work of the late Baroque period. Founded in 719, the abbey library is one of the oldest and most beautiful libraries in the world and one of the only early medieval monastic libraries with a surviving book collection. The St. Laurenzenkirche is, next to the cathedral, the most important church in the city, from the tower you have a magnificent view over the city. The permanent exhibition in the Textile Museum looks at the historical development of the textile industry in eastern Switzerland and its involvement in world markets. Until the end of World War I, St. Gallen embroidery represented the most important sector of Swiss exports.

The traffic laws in Switzerland are really strict and the penalties for traffic violations are high. You can follow the traffic rules quite quickly, as most of them are written on the road signs. Some rules that are not on the signs are: The most important rule is that there is right-hand traffic. If you come to an intersection and you don't find any right of way signs, right rules before left! In the evening or at night you are obliged to drive with dipped headlights, during the day with daylight. On the whole, however, you don’t need to fear any difficulties in switching to swiss traffic rules. One difference in Switzerland is that you must display a valid freeway vignette on the windscreen when using a freeway or expressway. However, the rental car provider should have equipped their vehicles with one anyway. This way, you will only have to pay tolls for individual tunnels or mountain passes on a case-by-case basis. Speed limits differ from those in other countries, especially on highways.
