About Chur
Chur is the oldest town in Switzerland and is located in the eastern part of the country. It is known for its well-preserved medieval old town and stunning mountain views. The official currency used in Chur is the Swiss Franc. The town offers a mix of cultural attractions, outdoor activities, and delicious Swiss cuisine. Visitors can explore historic buildings, museums, and enjoy hiking or skiing in the nearby mountains.
When to visit
The best time to visit Chur is during the summer months from June to August when the weather is warm and ideal for outdoor activities. However, winter is also a popular time to visit for skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts. Spring and fall offer milder temperatures and fewer crowds, making it a good time to explore the town and surrounding areas.

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.
