Chur Moments: Through Travelers' Eyes

Post

Exploring the best of Chur and reminiscing about the charm of Valencia’s old town? That’s a combo packed with culture, sun-soaked strolls, and all the architectural eye-candy 🏛️☀️

Top Spots to Visit in Chur:
- Altstadt (Old Town): Just like Valencia’s historic center, Chur’s old town is perfect for aimless wandering. You’ll find pastel facades, intricate fountains, and hidden squares. Tip: Lace up comfy shoes—the cobblestones are for real!
- St. Martin’s Church (Kirchgasse 15): Open 9am–5pm, this gothic beauty admits free entry and rewards you with stunning stained glass.
- Bündner Kunstmuseum (Bahnhofstrasse 35): Art lovers, this contemporary museum opens 10am–5pm (closed Mondays). Quiet galleries, plus a peaceful outdoor sculpture garden.
- Kornplatz & Arcas Square: Central hangouts framed by elegant Western-style architecture and buzzing with café life most days.

Valencia Flashback tip: Embrace slow travel. Like in Valencia’s old town, skip the rush in Chur—pause at street-side benches, and enjoy people-watching.

Getting Around:
Chur is ultra-walkable (you can cross the town center in under 30 minutes). Don’t bother with taxis—everything cool is pedestrian-friendly.

Food Recs:
Try Bündner Nusstorte at any local bakery (look for Café Arcas, Arcas 2). For sunny lunch vibes, Restaurant Kornplatz dishes up Swiss classics with outdoor seating.

Essential Tips:
No visa needed for most EU citizens. Bring Swiss Francs (CHF) for easy payments, as some small shops don’t take cards. Weather is mostly sunny from May to September—pack sunglasses and a light jacket!

Jetting from Valencia's old town straight to Chur, Switzerland—the perfect quick city sampler! 🌙 The highlight: a night walk through Chur’s gorgeous squares, where gleaming fountains put on a subtle show against a backdrop of modern architecture and historic charm. ✨ You get that cool "Europe mixes old and new" vibe ALL at once.

Must-See Spots:
1. Arcas Square (Obere Gasse, 7000 Chur): Historic buildings blend with sleek fountains—amazing for night photos.
2. Fontana di Chur (near Bahnhofstrasse): The main fountain lights up at dusk, with colorful displays in summer. Best after 9pm!
3. Old Town Lanes: Wander through Poststrasse and the alleys off Kirchgasse. The architecture is legit a visual feast at night.

Hot tip: Valencia’s old town is a blast for evening strolls, but Chur’s night fountains take it up a notch. Start your walk sunset-ish and linger to catch the light shows. Leave your tripod at home—phone cameras pick up the city’s glow surprisingly well!

Getting Around: Chur’s old town is totally walkable. The main squares are connected by picturesque lanes, easy to explore on foot. Trains from Zurich drop you right at Chur HB; stroll into the center in under 10 minutes.

Food rec: Grab a late-night snack from Café Arcas (Obere Gasse 13, until 11pm most nights) or sample Swiss hot chocolate at Café Maron (Poststrasse 31).

Pro tip: Swiss cities run super safe and clean at night. ATMs abound, but tap-to-pay works nearly everywhere—no need to fuss with cash!

The Chur Old Town is very pretty, with a lot of old and interesting buildings, shops and restaurants. It is mostly a no-car zone. We love the old town of Chur, it is such a nice place to wander and window shop, take in the parish church and then walk up to the cathedral. There are plenty of places to eat and drink. Just five minutes walk up the gentle hill from the main station through the main shopping street.
