What’s the experience like?

The air in Davos always feels crisp, even in summer. We started our walk near the old Rathaus—locals call it the city hall, but it’s more than that. The building’s been here since 1564, and you can still see couples heading inside for wedding ceremonies. Our guide, Anna, pointed out a small plaque by the door I’d never have noticed on my own.

A few minutes later, we wandered over to Reformierte Kirche St. Johann. From outside, you can spot two towers—one short and squat from the 1200s, and another that stretches up over 70 meters. Inside, sunlight hits the Giacometti window just right in the morning; colors spill across the pews. Anna explained how this stained glass is a bit of a hidden gem—most people walk past without realizing who designed it.

Afterwards, we drifted onto Davoser Promenade and Bahnhofstrasse. These aren’t just shopping streets—they’re where everyone seems to meet up after work or skiing. You’ll find Swiss chocolate shops next to fancy outdoor gear stores and little boutiques selling things you won’t see anywhere else. I grabbed a coffee at Café Weber (the apple strudel’s worth it) before picking up some souvenirs for home.
