Chur Old Town

For me, the old town of Chur is definitely a highlight of Chur. The narrow alleys where the sun shines are simply wonderful. The shops in the old town of Chur are also original: from small cafés to crystal shops and opticians, you can find everything. In addition, the old town of Chur is always quiet. If you are in the old town of Chur, you should definitely visit Arcas Square.

Chur - and alpine city
The cultural advantages of the alpine city! The important episcopal city is also the center of Rhaeto-Romanic Switzerland and is considered the oldest city in the Confederation. Particularly worth seeing are the episcopal castle, the three-aisled cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption and the well-preserved buildings in Chur's old town. You can find out a lot of interesting facts about the history and culture of the Alpine city on a guided city tour or individually with the audio guide. Thanks to the title of “Graubünden's main town”, visitors to the cantonal museums are welcomed by three tireless collectors of our Alpine culture.
Mediterranean flair
The car-free old town and the winding streets invite you to go shopping. Connoisseurs appreciate the numerous cozy cafés and over 130 restaurants, which, in addition to the mild climate, give the city a noticeably Mediterranean ambience.
