Chur
Switzerland's oldest city is by no means stuck in the past. Cultural events, bars, clubs, museums, shopping centers, stores and boutiques enliven Graubünden's capital. Visitors who want to get to know the Old Town, can book a guided tour. A regional mountain – the ‘Brambrüesch’ – means that Chur also has its own winter and summer sports region. In summer, Chur is the ideal spot from which to set off on walks and visits to vineyards in the ‘Bündner Herrschaft’ winemaking region. Chur is the gateway to the Grisons Mountains: 26 holiday and spa resorts can be reached in less than an hour from Chur.

Celts, Romans, Ostrogoths, Franks - all ruled Chur, the gateway to important trade routes and alpine passes, at one time or another. What remains today, is its 5000-year history, documented by Early Stone Age and Bronze Age finds archeological artifacts from the Roman period, as well as testimonies to more recent history such as the 800-year-old Cathedral near the bishop's residence.
