Swiss Activities Tip

If you are ever in Chur, don't miss a visit to 'Kaffee Klatsch'. Here you can relax and fortify yourself with the finest delicacies and drinks after a tour of the city. The original 'Kaffee Klatsch' is located in Davos - but the atmosphere and the offer are at least as nice in Chur. By the way, you can also have a really good breakfast and brunch here.

It was a pleasant city tour adapted to the heat in Chur's old town. The cathedral with the winged altar was very beautiful.
