Rhaetian Railway (RhB) Administration Building, Chur, Switzerland The building is an expression of the so-called Bündner Heimatstil, a movement that took up regional building traditions and wanted to develop them further. The representative, but appealing administrative building of the Rhaetian Railway is one of the most important buildings of this movement. On this old town tour, the building is only explained from the outside. 5 minutes
Bundner Kunstmuseum, Chur, Switzerland The Bündner Kunstmuseum consists of two buildings - the neoclassical Villa Planta from 1875 and the extension by the architects Barozzi & Veiga from 2016.
We stop briefly in the garden and let the art object "Torso with a long skull shape" by the artist H.R. Inspire Giger. 5 minutes
Postfach Postplatz, 7001 Chur, Zwitserland Postplatz is the intersection of everyday life in Chur, because two important traffic axes intersect here: Bahnhofstrasse, which continues on Poststrasse in the old town, and Grabenstrasse.
The architecture of the headquarters of the Graubündner Kantonalbank is also striking on the square.
On the Postplatz you will find exciting information about this important traffic junction and enter the old town of Chur. 10 minutes
Fontanapark, Grabenstrasse 30, 7000 Chur, Schweiz Fontanapark is located in the heart of the city of Chur. In its present form, the Fontanapark again shows the boundaries of the Baroque garden before 1860.
Enjoy the colorful oasis while you listen to the stories of our guide. 10 minutes
Kornplatz (Corn Square), Chur, Switzerland The square is older than its name: until the 17th century it was still called Klosterplatz. Then the adjoining monastery was closed and a granary was built in it. The old name of the square disappeared with the monastery from 1288.
You can find out more about this important place here. 5 minutes
Town Hall, Chur, Switzerland The politics of Chur are wrong: Anyone who looks at the town hall more closely might think that. Because of the irregular floor plan and the sloping roof ridge, the building seems to have gotten out of joint. But that is not due to politics, but to the history of the house.
You can find out more about this by visiting the building from the inside. 15 minutes
Reichsgasse, 7000 Chur, Switzerland In historical times, Reichgasse was Chur's main street.
Our guide will tell you funny anecdotes about the car ban in Graubünden. 5 minutes
St. Martinsplatz, Chur, Switzerland Martinsplatz is located in the oldest part of Chur, in the middle between the Ober- and Untertor, and is therefore part of the historic north-south connection between the city center. The square is dominated by the St. Martin's Church.
If the church is open, let's take a look inside. 10 minutes
St. Maria Himmelfahrt Cathedral, Chur, Switzerland The Episcopal Court towers over the old town with the cathedral, which is over 800 years old, and its late Gothic high altar gleaming in golden splendor. The cathedral is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and is one of the most important cultural monuments in Switzerland.
We go in and walk through the naves of the cathedral. There is a lot to see and tell.
15 minutes

Arcas, Chur, Switzerland Picturesque and medieval - this is how the Arcas appears today. This was different until 1971, because up to then magazine structures obstructed the space.

Obere Gasse, Chur, Switzerland Salsiz, pear bread, nut cake, Röteli ..... In this historic alley you will find some Grisons and Chur specialties. 5 minutes
Obertor, 7000 Chur, Switzerland Together with the Maltese and the Sennhofturm, the Obertor is one of the still preserved tower structures of the medieval city fortifications. Thanks to its neat appearance, the Obertor soon became a landmark of the old Churs.
