How to Visit the Rhine Falls and Why They Should Be in Your Swiss Itinerary

Want to see one of the largest waterfalls in Europe and add it to your Swiss itinerary? Rhine Falls is one of the most unforgettable stops as you travel Switzerland, and in this episode, I’ll show you how to make your visit smooth, scenic, and truly special.

With its breathtaking views and centuries-old Swiss castles, a Rhine Falls tour is an experience you won’t want to miss. I’ll share how to enjoy one of Switzerland’s most iconic natural sites and get the most from your visit. From marvelling at the incredible views to enjoying a boat tour, Rhine Falls has something to offer every visitor.

I’ll guide you through what it’s like to explore both sides of the falls, including the scenic trails around Laufen Castle and the different boat tours on offer. You’ll learn how to get your Rhine Falls tickets, how to reach the viewing platforms, and why this area deserves so much more than just a quick photo stop.

Whether you plan to reach the falls by car or train, on a special tourist train from Schaffhausen, or on one of the many Zurich day trips, you’ll get practical tips to help you plan the perfect visit.

You’ll also hear about some unforgettable moments to include when you visit Rhine Falls, like watching the falls glow after sunset and planning your trip around Rhine in Flames, the spectacular fireworks show held each July. And if you’re nearby, don’t miss the chance to enjoy the views from historic Schloss Laufen - they’re just as magical in the evening.

If you’re mapping out your Swiss itinerary or searching for must-see Europe waterfalls, this episode has everything you need. 

Happy travels,
