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! #ChurWalks #SwissCulture #ValenciaFeels #TravelTips #OutdoorVibes

#tripaway 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. #tripaway
