Being the oldest town in Switzerland, Chur (pronounced Core) is sure to offer a plethora of exciting experiences.
Its historic Old Town offers a surprisingly large variety of cultural activities, as well as an array of shops, restaurants, bars, and cafés.
Some of the most notable attractions here include the Bishop’s Palace and the magnificent Sankt Maria Himmelfahrt (or the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption).
You can also wander freely around the town’s historic district without having to worry about any vehicles since this area is almost completely car-free.
Chur is also known as the starting point for one of the most scenic train rides in Europe: the Bernina Express.
The train runs from Chur to Tirano and offers spectacular views of some of the most breathtaking landscapes in all of Switzerland, which is saying a lot since the country is renowned world-over for its awe-inspiring natural beauty.
