Extraordinary in St.Gallen
Striking, different, not ordinary - a few stores in downtown St.Gallen stand out with their uniqueness. They are particularly colorful, bold, traditional, offer regional products or convince with their unique concepts. Especially in times of increased online shopping, it is worthwhile to go back to the city for a shopping tour.
Truffle sniffers - All sorts of beautiful things
Somewhat hidden in a 300-year-old historic building at Zeughausgasse 14, along the historic monastery wall, presents the Trüffelschnüffler. A small store that is versatile, colorful, comforting and cheeky. While outside on the seating area the sun can be enjoyed with a coffee and cake or cheese and beer, inside souvenirs, decorative items, postcards or even jams are sold. The rule is: everything organic and top quality.
Glen Fahrn - A little piece of
Scotland in St.Gallen
Ana and Dieter Messmer's passion for spirits gave birth to Glen Fahrn GmbH in Mörschwil in 2005. In 2018, "Glen Fahrn 'the Gallery'" opened at Webergasse 7, presenting a diverse range of whisky, cognac, grappa, rum, gin and many other distillates on three floors. On the top floor, a lounge area invites you to relax.
Unikatessen - Specialist store for
regional cuisine
The bright colors draw the eye directly into the unique food at the Corso as you stroll along the Brühlgassen. Regional cuisine sets the tone - the offer consists of over 50 varieties of Swiss cheese, autochthonous wines from Switzerland and the Alpine region, oils, vinegars, spices and other delicacies. Everything is made with love in the near and far region.
