Discover Europe's largest waterfalls on this day trip from Zurich: you'll be captivated by the incredible natural beauty of Rhine Falls and the picturesque town of Schaffhausen.

Rhine Falls Half-Day Trip

At the scheduled time, you'll leave Zurich behind and head into the stunning natural landscapes of northern Switzerland.

After a 40 minute drive through vineyards and enchanting villages, you'll make your first stop at Laufen Castle, a Medieval fortress which offers incredible views of the Rhine Falls. At 150 metres (490 ft) wide and 23 metres (75 ft) high, the Rheinfall is Europe's biggest waterfall and one of Switzerland's major tourist attractions.

You'll have around an hour of free time to explore the Rhine Falls and enjoy the activities on offer here. We'll get as close as possible to these majestic falls as we tell you all about their formation.

Having made the most of your time at Rhine Falls, your return journey to Zurich will take you through the charming town of Schaffhausen, where you can admire the 16th century circular castle known as Munot Fortress. You'll then drive through Germany for a short while, before arriving back in Zurich.

Waterfalls Cruise

If you travel between April and October and, if the weather conditions allow, you can take an optional boat trip through the Rhine Falls. The ticket price for this trip is 12CHF for adults, 8CHF for children from 6 to 15 years old and free for children under 6. Please note that the entrance to the boat is not accessible for baby prams or people with reduced mobility.

Important Info

Remember to bring your valid passport on the day of the tour: you will need it to cross the border between Switzerland and Germany.
