Most people rushing through St. Gallen Trainstation have no idea there’s actually a small official area where flyer distribution is allowed without permission. And yes — it comes with rules. But honestly, that’s part of the fun. You get 20 minutes, two people max, a stack of flyers and thousands of commuters walking past. It’s basically speed-networking in real life.
Right next to Bahnhof St. Gallen, this special promo area is reserved for non-commercial and idealistic activities like handing out flyers or collecting signatures. No giant stands, no microphones, no blocking stressed commuters on their way to the train. You’re allowed to bring a small rolling cart for your material, but after 20 minutes your time is up and the next group gets their chance. If the space is already occupied, you simply wait your turn. Simple, fair and very Swiss. And despite all the rules, it’s still one of the most interesting little visibility hacks in the city.
