Zurich
Europe’s most powerful waterfall sits 45 minutes from Zurich, and this list rounds up the ways to meet it. The Rhine Falls stretch about 150 metres across, and in season boats run to the rock standing in the middle of the churn. A half day trip fits neatly beside a free Zurich afternoon.
Discover the charm of northern Switzerland with this guided tour from Zurich, featuring Rhine Falls, Stein am Rhein, and scenic landscapes—all in a half-day trip.
