Rhine Falls Half-Day Trip

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 and head into the natural landscapes of northern Switzerland.

After a 40 minute drive through vineyards and villages, you'll make your first stop at Laufen Castle, a Medieval fortress with 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 a major tourist attraction.

You'll have around an hour of free time to explore the Rhine Falls and enjoy activities available. We'll get as close as possible to these falls while discussing their formation.

After your visit, the return journey to Zurich will take you through the charming town of Schaffhausen, where you can admire the 16th century Munot Fortress. You'll then drive through Germany briefly before arriving back in Zurich.
