The city of Chur (Coira) is located in the valley of the Rhine, at the meeting point between Latin and Germanic cultures. One of the most emblematic monuments of the city is the Roman-Gothic Cathedral. It is also worth visiting the Old City, the Museum of Recia, the art gallery, as well as the Natural Museum.
