Chur, the oldest city in Switzerland and the capital of the canton of Graubünden, has a rich history dating back over 5,000 years. Situated in the Rhine Valley at an elevation of approximately 600 meters, this Alpine city serves as an important cultural and economic center for eastern Switzerland.
The well-preserved Old Town (Altstadt) features distinctive architecture that reflects its medieval heritage, with narrow streets and historic buildings telling the story of its past as a Roman settlement and later as a bishop's residence. The city's cultural landscape is shaped by its unique position at the intersection of German, Italian, and Romansh-speaking regions, making it a hub of linguistic and cultural diversity.
Chur maintains several museums and cultural institutions that showcase both its historical significance and its contemporary artistic scene. The city's strategic location also makes it an important gateway to numerous Alpine resorts and serves as a starting point for the famous Glacier Express and Bernina Express railway journeys.
