Chur
The alpine city of Chur serves as Switzerland’s oldest established town. Its archaeological remains stretch back to 12,000 B.C. Chur wears many hats aside from the oldest city in Switzerland. It is also the capital of the Graubünden area of the country and hosts legendary winter and summer sport activities.
Eating Out in Chur
Just as a good shop is not hard to come by in Chur, so too are dining opportunities. The city teems with over a hundred different restaurants. Chur parties late into the night, hosting an array of bars and pubs in the Welschdörfli section of town. From gourmet restaurants to those local pubs, Chur won’t leave you hungry or thirsty anytime of day.
Day Trips/Events in Chur
While the old historic town entertains visitors on several levels, getting outside of Chur proves rewarding. Infiltrating the area are the many ski resorts. Visitors can reach some popular areas like Brigels, Waltensburg, Andiast and the ritzy St. Moritz. Europe’s oldest National Park also falls in the Graubünden area of town, Swiss National Park. Hiking and mountain biking are popular in summer, while the top 20 ski areas in Chur crowd with skiers.
The Chur Festival is one of the most popular events in the entire city. Food stalls and musical entertainment make this a prized event. Then there are those more quirky elements to Chur’s festivals like the Alpine Beard Festival. Like its name gives away, men compete for the title of the best alpine beard.
Things to see/do in Chur
The Gothic old town of Chur leaves much to uncover. The town’s Cathedral bears medieval foundations, constructed from 1151 to 1282. Chur also boasts the largest shopping zone between Zurich and Milan. With over 500 shops, spending a little money in Chur is somewhat impossible. Chur certainly delivers on the cultural level, hosting a variety of museums for the curious traveller. Being the oldest town in Switzerland, it is no wonder the city covers a wide range of history. Of course, more active travellers are accommodated with summer and winter sports in and around the Chur area. As the streets wind ever so historically and beautifully through Chur’s old town, travellers may find leaving not an option.
To see it all, travellers can hire a car from Argus Car Hire. Argus provides visitors to Chur with the complete experience, transportation you don’t have to worry about. Those that rent a car from Argus get the lowest rates with high quality service.
