No, there is no pre-assigned shortcut.

You can choose from many options to assign a shortcut to switch layouts from the menu:

Keyboard Preferences > Layouts

This menu can be found under System > Preferences > Hardware

I always thought Alt+Shift is the only way to change the layout.. Now this is good :D – Shayan May 18 '18 at 13:06
Ok this is a broken feature.. Other keyboard shortcuts stop working if you're using a key that's used to in a sequence to change layouts. For example I use "Winkey + Right" to move to right workspace and it doesn't work anymore because now I'm switching layouts with my Winkey.. – Shayan May 23 '18 at 13:39

The pre-assigned shortcuts are SUPER + Space.

_{SUPER generally means the Window key.}

Open the terminal
Type: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-input-source "['<Alt>Shift_L']"
Switch languages with Alt + Shift_left
