Traveller tips
Make sure to try the local specialty, 'Capuns', a dish made of Swiss chard and dough wrapped around meat or cheese. Don't forget to visit the Chur Cathedral, a stunning example of medieval architecture. Be prepared for varying weather conditions, especially if visiting in the mountains. Take advantage of the Swiss Travel Pass for discounted transportation and entry to attractions. Remember to greet locals with a friendly 'Grüezi' (hello) to show respect for Swiss customs.
