Chur

Settled for 5000 years, this ancient alpine crossroad’s car-free Old Town is full of quiet streets and scenic squares.

About

Dating back to around 3500 BC, Chur’s location made it a prime target for invasion, with the Romans, Ostrogoths, Francs, Magyars, Saracens, and Holy Roman Empire all having controlled it at one point. The town also has been particularly prone to fire, having had several major fires over the years, on of which burnt down everything but a church and bishop’s residence. The city’s long history offers a unique mixture of ancient and contemporary. The scenic old town, with its car-free cobbled streets, gives visitors a taste of traditional Swiss architecture. Parts of the cathedral date back to the 5th century, while most of the structure is from the 12th century. The Church of St. Luzi was first mentioned in 821 when the relics of St. Luzius were removed from the church. Or experience Swiss modernity in the Giger Bar, designed by H. R. Giger himself, or cubist art gallery.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, here are the answers.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!

Each passenger is allowed one large bag (29" x 21" x 11" / 74 x 53 x 28 cm) and one small bag (22" x 14" x 9" / 56 x 36 x 23 cm). Luxury sedans can only accommodate 2 large bags.
