Rhine Falls & Stein am Rhein

Discover the Rhine Falls, Europe’s biggest waterfall, and visit the medieval town of Stein am Rhein on an afternoon coach excursion from Zurich! Travel along the Grand Tour of Switzerland to the medieval Laufen Castle by the falls and marvel at exceptional frescoes in the well-preserved Old Town of Stein am Rhein.

  • Drive along the scenic Grand Tour of Switzerland
  • Discover Europe’s biggest waterfall and the Laufen Castle
  • Take an optional boat ride in the Rhine basin
  • Explore the medieval village Stein am Rhein on a guided walk
  • Marvel at exceptional painted facades and half-timbered houses

Journey along the Grand Tour of Switzerland through gently rolling vineyards and charming farming villages to Northern Switzerland near the border with Germany. Reach the splendid Laufen Castle for the first highlight of this afternoon: the mighty Rhine Falls! Enjoy about one hour at leisure to explore Europe’s biggest waterfall, which is one of Switzerland’s major tourist attractions. 

Delight in unique views from the panoramic lift and see how an average of 700,000 litres of water per second plunge across a width of 150 meters into the basin below. The Belvedere panoramic trail brings you to a viewing platform right above the falls where you feel the spindrift of the rumbling waters. Top off your visit with an optional boat ride (summer only) to get as close to the falls as possible – a truly memorable experience! Continue past Schaffhausen with its imposing Munot Fortress and through beautiful countryside to the medieval village of Stein am Rhein

Follow your tour guide on a guided stroll through the winding alleys of the well-preserved Old Town and learn the story behind the exceptional frescoes of the many distinctive buildings. Walk past half-timbered houses to the White Eagle, where you can admire the oldest preserved mural painting of the Renaissance in Switzerland. Enjoy some time at leisure before meeting your tour guide for the evening drive back to Zurich.
