Chur, SwitzerlandChur (pronounced 'coor'), Switzerland's oldest city is by no means stuck in the past. Cultural events, bars, clubs, museums, shopping centers, stores and boutiques abound in canton Graubuenden's capital. Visitors who want to get to know the Old Town, can book a guided tour.
Celts, Romans, Ostrogoths, Franks - all ruled Chur, is and has been the gateway to important trade routes and alpine passes, for thousands of years. What remains today, is its 5000-year history, documented by Early Stone Age and Bronze Age finds and 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. During a guided city tour, history buffs can discover witnesses to the past and hear gruesome stories from civil wars, or amusing anecdotes from times of peace. To this day, Chur is a commercial center and capital of the large magnificently beautiful South-eastern part of Switzerland. Chur has a wealth of stores, museums, the theater, the concert hall, and the PostBus station, a hub of Graubuenden's mountain world.
