Rhaetian Railway (RhB) Administration Building
Bahnhofstrasse 25, Chur, Switzerland, 7000The building is an expression of the so-called Bündner Heimatstil, a movement that took up regional building traditions and wanted to develop them further. The representative, but appealing administrative building of the Rhaetian Railway is one of the most important buildings of this movement. On this old town tour, the building is only explained from the outside.5 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location3
Bundner Kunstmuseum
Bahnhofstrasse 35, , Chur, Switzerland, 7000The Bündner Kunstmuseum consists of two buildings - the neoclassical Villa Planta from 1875 and the extension by the architects Barozzi & Veiga from 2016.
We stop briefly in the garden and let the art object "Torso with a long skull shape" by the artist H.R. Inspire Giger.5 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location4
Postplatz is the intersection of everyday life in Chur, because two important traffic axes intersect here: Bahnhofstrasse, which continues on Poststrasse in the old town, and Grabenstrasse.
The architecture of the headquarters of the Graubündner Kantonalbank is also striking on the square.
On the Postplatz you will find exciting information about this important traffic junction and enter the old town of Chur.10 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Kornplatz (Corn Square)
Old Town, Chur, Switzerland, 7000The square is older than its name: until the 17th century it was still called Klosterplatz. Then the adjoining monastery was closed and a granary was built in it. The old name of the square disappeared with the monastery from 1288.
You can find out more about this important place here.5 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location7
Town Hall
Poststrasse 33, Chur, Switzerland, 7000The politics of Chur are wrong: Anyone who looks at the town hall more closely might think that. Because of the irregular floor plan and the sloping roof ridge, the building seems to have gotten out of joint. But that is not due to politics, but to the history of the house.
You can find out more about this by visiting the building from the inside.15 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location8
In historical times, Reichgasse was Chur's main street.
Our guide will tell you funny anecdotes about the car ban in Graubünden.5 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location
