Itinerary

Discover the iconic Laufen Castle, a centuries-old landmark overlooking the Rhine Falls, where history and breathtaking natural scenery come together.
The Rhine Falls are one of Switzerland's most iconic natural attractions. Located near the town of Schaffhausen, they are the largest waterfalls in Europe by water flow. The Rhine River Falls is found on a stretch of the Rhine River known as the High Rhine. This is where the waters cascade down to a lower level, creating the picturesque Rhine Water Falls. The falls are just a single drop waterfall, however with a width of 150 metres and a height of 23 metres, its size is impressive. Visitors are blown away by the sheer power of the Rhine Falls, particularly during the summer, where the water flows at an impressive rate of 600,000 litres per second. You have different platform to explore it from different side, you can eventually add a cruise to cross the falls as well.

Traveler reviews
Well worth the steps with a lift to get you back up. A magnificent morning!
A truly fantastic experience. The bus driver was our tour guide and helped us with information about the falls along the way. The pictures in the add for the tour could never do it justice. We we metres away from thousands of litres of water cascading over the falls!
The falls are worth...
The falls are worth taking a half day to visit. Only improvement is the tour operator needs signage and/or someone in the parking lot to direct you to the appropriate bus. There numerous buses/tour operators in the parking lot with tour guides available to direct customers to their bus.
Rhine falls
The falls we nice, but ride would have been to cold so we passed on that.good places to eat or just get a snack
A perfect morning getaway
Let's be honest here...you could walk to the train station in Zurich, figure out a train going to Rhine Falls, save yourself some money and be more flexible in your schedule. You could....but my partner and I opted for the guided tour and I'm glad we did. It wasn't all that expensive. We rode in comfort in a nice bus. We had a great driver/guide who could not have been more helpful. He gave us a lot of interesting tidbits about the falls. made sure we understood all of our options, and kept things stress-free. Two hours was plenty to enjoy the beautiful falls and we were back in Zurich in time for lunch. I highly recommend this tour for people who don't want to do the heavy lifting.
Beautiful falls!
Very nice your and happy day experience at Rhein Falls - couldn’t understand our guide with his accent but he was nice.
