Reputedly the oldest town in Switzerland, Chur sits on the Rhine in the canton of Graubünden, with a walkable centre dense with food and drink options and vineyards in the surrounding valley. The canton's capital and seat of the Diocese of Chur, it sits close to the Alps and serves as a base for exploring the wider region, which includes several UNESCO World Heritage sites. German, Romansh, and Italian are all spoken here, reflecting Graubünden's trilingual character.
