Chur

Located at 593 meters above sea level, Chur functions as the administrative center of Graubünden canton with 35,000 inhabitants in eastern Switzerland.

The settlement, formerly known as Curia Raetorum during Roman times, stands as Switzerland's oldest city with continuous habitation spanning over 5,000 years.

The protected old town contains numerous historical structures, including the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption, reflecting centuries of architectural evolution.

The city connects to major Swiss destinations through regular train services, with direct routes to Zürich, Basel, and neighboring mountain resorts.

Chur maintains its position as the only Swiss city where three languages - German, Romansh, and Italian - hold official status in daily operations.
