Summary
Chur is Switzerland’s oldest city and is well worth visiting as part of your multi centre holiday to this naturally stunning part of Europe. Despite its claim to fame, it’s often not spoken about in the same breath as holiday destinations like Zurich and Geneva.
Chur has charm by the bucket load, and its pedestrianised Old Town area is full of alleys, squares, markets, shops, cafes and restaurants. The majestic Alpine views frame the city beautifully and make for spectacular photographs.
If you’ve got a head for heights, taking a ride on the Chur-Brambruesch cable car is an absolute must for the unforgettable panoramic views. In the summer, it’s a great way to start your hike or mountain biking adventure; in wintertime, it’s all about snow sports.
Travelling to and from Chur on the Bernina Express train is a journey you’ll remember forever. The many tunnels and bridges make this a magical and breath taking experience as you relax in comfort without a care in the world.
While Chur’s sensational scenery is like a splash of vibrant colours on canvas, there’s more traditional art at Bündner Kunstmuseum, founded in 1919. The building now has an unmissable facade and hosts regular exhibitions throughout the year for art lovers of all ages to enjoy.
Even if you’re only passing through Chur for a short time on your multi centre holiday to Switzerland, it will undoubtedly leave a positive and lasting impression on you.
