Dive into a journey through time with this self-guided audio tour designed for history aficionados and architectural admirers. The tour takes on a personal touch, allowing you to explore Chur, the oldest city in Switzerland, at your own pace.
Immerse yourself in a narrative that spans over 5000 years, surrounded by the stunning backdrop of the Swiss Alps. Begin your walk into the past at the impressive Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption, a monument that has witnessed centuries of devotion since the 12th century. From there, weave through alleys and squares rich with tales, stopping at iconic sites like Kornplatz, St. Martin's Church, the Bishop's Palace, and the alien-esque Giger Bar. The route includes Chur's defensive towers, peaceful Arcas Square, the culturally-revered Rätisches Museum, the steadfast Obertor, and the scenic St. Luzi Bridge, before circling back to Kornplatz.
Throughout your exploration, expect to be captivated by Gothic and Baroque architectures, mesmerising frescoes, and powerful symbols of Chur's enduring legacy. The most enduring memories will come from the tangible connection to the past, found in the preserved facades of buildings that have stood the test of time, the artistic expressions within the church walls, and the lingering presence of history at every turn. By the tour's end, you’ll have a deep appreciation for the harmony of Chur's history and the stories etched into its cityscape.
