St. Gallen is the capital of eastern Switzerland, a city of about 76,000 people on a plateau between Lake Constance and the Appenzell hills, and the seat of the University of St. Gallen (HSG), one of Europe's leading business schools, whose main campus stands on the Rosenberg hill above the centre. The Abbey of St Gall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983, contains the Baroque cathedral and the Abbey Library with its Rococo hall and manuscripts dating back to the eighth century. Embroidery made the city wealthy in the 19th century, a story the Textile Museum tells, and St. Gallen lace still goes into haute couture. Zurich is about 85 km to the west; Konstanz and the German shore of Lake Constance are half an hour away.
