Chur

Dating back 5,000 years, Chur is one of Switzerland’s oldest cities. It is also one of the most breathtaking, situated in a deep valley and encircled by towering, icing sugar-sprinkled peaks, deep in the country’s Graubünden region. The city boasts an attractive, car-free centre and plenty of naturally magnificent vistas for wanderers and hikers. There's plenty to do in Chur, from the popular Fontana Park - a great choice for a relaxing amble - and the Old Town is home to an 800-year old Gothic Cathedral, fascinating galleries and authentic Swiss eateries.
