Places To Be

Animal and Leisure Park with indigenous animals, play grounds, electric cars and boats. A self-service restaurant, a sewing machine museum and a museum depicting the production of powder are also part of the park.

Where the fog ends, Graubünden begins – and Chur is Switzerland's only large town to have its own skiing and hiking area. The local mountain is called the Brambrüesch, offering convenience and unlimited winter and summer sports opportunities, at altitudes of from 600 to 2200 m.

From the Gänggelimarkt and the Chur Festival to the Hit Parade, everything takes place on the Arcasplatz in the heart of Chur's Old Town. The triangular square, surrounded by rows of historic houses, is especially appealing in summer, with its many cafés and restaurants.

New station and postal bus station. Chur's public transport centre is being enhanced and expanded: In summer 2007, the entire station in Chur was revealed to the public in all its glory. The refurbishment of the square in front of the station means there is now room to linger there. Comfortable benches, shady trees and three modern fountains now link the area between the station and the bus station, making a modern meeting point for locals and visitors alike.

Enjoy the cultural and culinary amenities of this Alpine town! Especially worthy of note are the Bishop's Palace and the triple-naved cathedral of Sankt Maria Himmelfahrt. Whether you're after cathedral treasure, Giacometti, biodiversity or souvenirs, Graubünden's capital, with its three regional museums and over 500 shops, offers something to do in any weather.
