The Experience

What your day looks like

Drive through picturesque landscapes, passing gently rolling vineyards and charming farming villages, to reach the medieval Laufen Castle—the highlight of this morning tour. Spend approximately one hour at the Rhine Falls, one of Switzerland’s top tourist attractions. Experience the panoramic lift for unique waterfall views, where 700,000 liters of water per second plunge across a 150-meter-wide cliff. Take a short stroll along the Belvedere Panoramic Trail to a viewing platform right above the falls, where you can feel the mist from the roaring waters. For an unforgettable experience, opt for a boat ride to get up close to the falls (available from April to October). Visit the Historama Exhibition at Laufen Castle to learn about the historical significance of the area. On the return journey, pass through the picturesque town of Schaffhausen, home to the Munot Fortress (built in the 16th century). The trip also includes a short stretch through Germany before arriving back in Zurich.
