Top Attractions in Chur
💡 Look above ground-floor shop awnings – the best pieces are at first-floor level, and some are hidden in the arcades behind the street.
💡 Sit in the crypt for a minute – the stone absorbs sound completely. It's the oldest part and still has original 9th-century columns.
💡 Go early morning to see the bakeries deliver fresh bread to hotels – the cobbles are empty and the light hits the Rathaus facade well.
💡 Pack a picnic and buy cheese from the farm shop by the middle station – the Bergrestaurant is pricey for drinks.
💡 Cheat the cost by visiting on a Saturday morning – the free day includes the special exhibition too. The models of medieval Chur are the highlight.
