The experience

The tour starts in the old town and moves through Arcas square, where medieval row houses sit alongside modern cafes and open space. From there you head to "Der Plessurfischer," BENE's urban art masterpiece that depicts a local fisherman catching fish in the nearby river: the kind of piece that anchors how Chur blends historic elegance with contemporary design. The guide shows you the legal graffiti spots where artists work, so if someone is creating that day, you see the process.

The Bündner Kunstmuseum comes next, a museum built around that same collision of old and new. Then the Sculpture Park at Forum Würth Chur, where works by established artists sit against the Swiss landscape. The whole route is walkable and suited to all fitness levels, and public transport runs nearby if you need it.

You're booking either a private tour (just your group) or a shared departure, both 90 minutes. The guide speaks English or German depending on which option you pick. Service animals are welcome.
