Chur is one of the oldest towns in Switzerland and close to the famous vacation resorts of Arosa, Davos, Klosters and St. Moritz. A stay in the charming capital of the canton of Graubünden is well worthwhile.
The alleyways of the old town with its quiet corners and babbling fountains reflect the eventful history of the Rhaetian Alps and influences from neighboring countries to the north and south. The Rhaetian Museum houses the prehistoric and historical collection of Graubünden; the town was one of the most important hubs of the Roman Empire. Traces from antiquity and the time of early Christianity can still be found today. The Nature Museum introduces visitors to the fauna and flora of the Swiss vacation regions. Chur offers its inhabitants and guests a varied theater and concert program, as well as numerous cinemas and entertainment venues. Cozy "Beizen" and fine restaurants offer the whole variety of national and international gastronomy. Chur's excellent location in the heart of the Swiss mountains allows guests to reach the surrounding mountain resorts in a short time. Rides on the world-famous narrow-gauge railroads, the "Bernina Express" and the "Glacier Express", are among the highlights of a stay here.
