• Zurich - Begin your journey by meeting the tour guide inside the main hall beneath the clock tower at Zurich HB’s central train station.
• St. Gallen - Discover St. Gallen, where a 7th-century hermitage established by the Irish monk Gallus evolved into a prominent European center of learning. At its core is the Abbey District, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring the magnificent Baroque Cathedral and the renowned Abbey Library, one of the oldest libraries in existence.
  Stroll through the Old Town and gaze upwards—over 100 beautifully adorned oriel windows still grace the streets, a remarkable testament to St. Gallen’s flourishing embroidery and textile era that once positioned the city as a global leader in craftsmanship and style.
• Appenzell - Discover a unique side of Switzerland in Appenzell, a quaint alpine village where tradition continues to influence daily life. Its compact center is easily identified by the Hauptgasse, a street lined with vibrantly painted wooden houses that showcase centuries of local craftsmanship and a strong regional identity.
  Appenzell is among the few places where Switzerland’s historic Landsgemeinde tradition began—an open-air assembly where citizens gathered for public voting, a powerful symbol of grassroots democracy.
  Beyond the village, the landscape unfolds into rolling farmland and alpine pastures beneath the Alpstein mountains, where dairy farming remains a vital part of life. This is the birthplace of the renowned Appenzeller cheese, still crafted using a secret herbal brine that gives it its unique flavor.
  Small, colorful, and steeped in tradition, Appenzell provides a living snapshot of rural Swiss heritage set against some of the country’s most stunning mountain scenery.
