The parking lot is at the top, then you walk down the steps or can take the elevator down to the bottom of the falls. At the bottom you can buy tickets to ride the boats- either up to the falls or across the river. Definitely ride the boat up to the falls - you can feel how powerful the falls are the closer you get. And you also might get a little misted while on the boat.
Stunning!!! While on a business trip in Germany, I had a weekend to kill. Literally by pulling up Google Maps on my phone, I looked for nearby places to explore over the weekend. Within a 2 hour drive from my location, I came across Rheinfall. The 2 hour drive was incredible. Driving through the Black Forest of Germany and the hills of Germany and Switzerland is absolutely breathtaking nature at it's finest. Periodically driving through small European Towns/Villages that really add incredible color to the journey. Then I arrived to Rhinefall..... The first thing you notice is the uptick in traffic. Not hateful, but it's definitely a more touristy area. While looking for parking, I did notices that there is at least one public lot that you can reserve in advance and additional lots that are a little farther away. I did choose the farthest public lot, which was the closest non-reservation public lot, and parked there. I cannot recall the pricing. It was a bit of a walk, but a pretty nature walk. There is a path that will lead you right to the river so you can walk along the river to the Rheinfall viewing areas. The waterfalls of Rheinfall are gorgeous. Now, this isn't Niagara Falls, in size, but it truly is beautiful. There are plenty of paths, stairways and bridges to get you to various parts of the falls. Please note that there are a lot of stairs if you're looking to really explore here. A lot of walking, in general, but a lot of stairs to get everywhere. All worth it because every angle and location gives you a perspective equal or more beautiful than the last. They do have 15 and 30 minute boat tours that take you to the foot of the falls. I did not choose to do this, but I did look into it and they looked quite affordable. These boat rides are constantly going back-and-forth. There are typically no less than 6 of these boats shuttling tourists to-and-from the falls to the dock. The main reason that I did not opt in for the ride, although I really wanted to, is because of the wait. The queue for the boats is hidden in a covered area. Once you purchase your tickets, you make the walk to the queue area and find yourself in a long snaking line. On the particular day that I was visiting, the temperatures were excessively hot and humid and it was not how I wanted to spend the day. There are public restrooms, cafe's with food, drinks and ice cream and places to sit while you're visiting. It's a great place to make a half-day or day excursion out of. Would I go back? I may go back some day, but I'm glad I did get to see it. Though I may not go back, I would absolutely recommend it. I would recommend not going when it's incredibly hot and humid though, because there really is no escape from the heat. But, that beautiful crystal blue cold water looks awfully tempting to jump into.
If you are anywhere near the Rhine River, you absolutely must do a boat tour to the waterfalls/Rheinfall! The boat ride from the loading platform to the falls is not a super long one, but it is full of gorgeous sites, like the impossibly blue water beneath you, the Lauren Castle that overlooks the falls, and the mist coming off the falls that makes little rainbows. Once you get up to the falls, it's awe inspiring how powerful they are. You can't even hear the person standing next to you - and you probably don't want to even talk to anyone and zone out, looking at the waterfalls. You'll get pretty damp/wet when you get close to the mist and splash of the falls so if that is a concern for you, definitely wear a hat and bring a poncho! You definitely will not regret the 20 CHF boat ride once you return from the trip, having seen some of the most beautiful falls in Europe.
Rheinfall is an impressive waterfall and is claimed to be the largest in Europe! But it's a little deceiving because it's not particularly tall, but I think it's largest in terms of water volume. And when we went, Switzerland had a series of major storms so there was even more than usual. From Zurich HB, take the S9 all the way to Neuhausen Rheinfall, about 50 minutes total. Pro-tip, sit on the right side of the train and you'll get some impressive views of the falls in the final 5 minutes of the train ride. From the station, there are a couple of ways to explore the area but we went down a series of two elevators and walked down a hill until we were on the opposite side of the falls. On a clear, sunny day, the falls just look incredible and we lingered around here to take lots of pictures. As you continue along the water, you'll eventually hit a couple of shops, restaurants, and Schloss Wörth (castle). We crossed to the other side on a boat and from there, we walked along the Platform Trails until we reached the top of Schloss Laufen (another castle). For 5 CHF, you can access the Platform Trail, which hits a series of viewing platforms that get you up close to the water. And from here, you could really feel the power of the falls. It's hard to talk to people because of the thundering noise and if you stand there long enough, you'll get soaked from the spray. Lots of good photo ops too! Overall, I had a great time walking around but sadly, it was cut short by a thunderstorm. I'd love to come back and explore the surrounding areas more!
Such a beautiful landmark, and extremely impressive when you're up close to the falls! We took public transportation to get to Rheinfall, and it was pretty easy to navigate once we got off the stop. There's a series of elevators to take you down to the ground level, and you walk a bit around the waters to get to shops and the boat tours. You can choose to take a boat that goes right next to the falls, and if so, be prepared to get wet! We took another boat that drops us off at the cliffside, where you can do a small hike up to the viewpoint right next to the falls. It's so much different being up close, where you can barely hear each other speak because of how strong the water is! There's a cute photo op at the top of the cliff as well. At the base of the falls and at the top, there are souvenir shops for you to memorialize your visit!
Absolutely beautiful place to spend a nice day. We weren't really sure which side of the falls to drive to so we randomly chose a side based on available parking. We parked at the Rheinfall Touristen Parkplatz and walked over to the falls. There is plenty of parking on this side. One thing to note if you're driving this way, you will most likely be passing through Germany. Make sure to have your passport on you if you are stopped by border control. There are tour boats available from either side of the Rhine River. We chose to take the blue line which is the shortest and cheapest tour. We were able to book same day. I skipped the long lines at the ticket booths and just ordered from my phone while we were walking around. It's a 15 minute boat ride that brings you up close to the falls. There are several other tours that are longer and one even stops at the little island near the falls. For us, the 15 minute tour was just enough time. Aside from the boat tours you can visit the castle or just walk around and enjoy the weather. There is a playground for kids and plenty of food around. We also watched people getting in the river with floats and kayaks from this side. I highly recommend a visit to this area.
This is a majestic waterfall and the largest in Europe! It's the best day trip from Zürich and probably worth your time to visit anywhere near the area. Visit on a weekday to avoid the huge crowds that visit on weekends. The north side of the bank has a free hiking trail, viewing platforms, and a ferry ride you can pay for which will take you to a rock island right by the falls. The entire area is extremely developed but in a mostly tasteful way that doesn't dustrupt the natural beauty very much. You can a train to or from Zürich on either bank of the river. Avoid buying food around the falls because all the prices are crazy inflated.
One of the classic sights in Switzerland. Been here many times. But it's always worth a trip and every time an impressive sight....even not being among the world's biggest falls, it's in the European Top 3. 600 m³/s water drops on average in summer 23m down. From the South Side you can get really close, but as a whole, you can get a good view from the northern side in Neuhausen, where you can park easy and walk along the river on the Rheinfallquai and cross the bridge to the other side. Depending on the season and the rain in the past few days the falls carry more or less water. Of course it's best if you catch it when lots of water flow through the Rhein river. Take a boat across the river for different views or catch one that goes to the Rheinfelsen in the middle of the falls. Not for folks who get seasick easy.
The Rhine Falls ( Or Rheinfalls) is located in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and is the most powerful waterfall in Europe. There are a multitude of ways to see the falls- we selected the easiest, which was also free: to just view from dock where the store is. For more adventurous people, there are a plethora of different boats that go varying distances to the fall. The boat that goes right up to the falls also lets passengers off to climb to the top of the rock that is situated right in the middle of the falls. This is an extremely popular attraction in Switzerland, and I can see why. It's breathtakingly beautiful, and the water is the bluest of any water I have ever seen.
Wow so beautiful!! Popped through while on a tour and we were brought by and walked the trail. The waterfall was so cool!! We could feel little sprays of the water up on the trail, so be careful - it could be a little slippery. We even got to bring our dog with us, which was nice that we didn't have to leave her behind or not get to explore. We opted to not take the boats down to the bottom, we didn't have a change of clothes and we would have gotten super wet. I loved the crepe cart that is at the top of the trail. I was so so hungry and it was the perfect treat. Also stopped by the gift shop and picked up and over priced shot glass and I'm not even mad about it!
Rheinfall is absolutely gorgeous and really is a breathtaking experience. If you've been to Niagara Falls, this place is essentially a smaller version of Niagara with much cleaner and fresher air. The water is actually very clean and clear, so clear that you can actually see the fish swimming upstream in their natural environment. The falls themselves are a beautiful sight and the amount of water flowing through here is absolutely astonishing. There are a couple restaurants nearby that are gorgeous and you actually can either take a small boy to the center or walk up directly next to the falls to see them up close. Overall, this is one of those gorgeous places on earth that you must experience if given the opportunity. Pros- Picturesque Views for days... Fresh/clean air Clear water Restaurants nearby Castle overlooking falls Scenic Nice walking areas nearby Cons- Pay for parking A bit off the beaten path
Nature is incredible! Worth the trip to see Switzerland's and Europe's largest waterfall. Tickets weren't very expensive at all, you walk the path down (so lots of stairs to come back up) and there's a main platform where you can see all the waterfall. There is an elevator but it doesn't take you all the way down so you'll still need to take part of the stairs. Keep that in mind if you have senior citizens with you. There's a gift shop at the entrance and a hotel inside which might be open seasonally. Also during the summer, you can take a boat tour that takes you up close to the falls.
Did a day trip from Zurich to the Rhine Falls and the drive alone was peak Switzerland! All the tiny villages, flower boxes, cows living better than most of us. Then you hear the falls before you see them. The Rhine River catapults itself over the rocks with insane force and a lot of volume! Rhine Falls are considered Europe's largest waterfall by water volume, with about 600 cubic meters of water crashing through every second in summer. Its nature on surround sound. The river starts in the Swiss Alps and eventually flows through 6 countries before reaching the North Sea. Then it runs over these rocks right here! You can get ridiculously close to the falls too, which is equal parts amazing and my phone is in danger alert. If you're into waterfalls, highly recommend! read more
The boat ride and walking paths at Rheinfall are absolutely worth doing and really complete the experience. Walking along the paths lets you take in the power and scale of the falls from different angles--there are plenty of viewing platforms, and the sound and mist make it feel incredibly dramatic and immersive. The paths are well maintained, clearly marked, and easy to follow, with lots of great photo spots along the way. The boat ride is the real highlight. Getting out on the water and feeling the force of the falls up close is both thrilling and unforgettable. You get a completely different perspective from the river, and it's amazing how close the boats take you while still feeling safe. The most fun part is you get a little wet. read more
That "chasing waterfalls" song from TLC was in my head the entire time. Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen so many waterfalls in my lifetime. You don't even have to be in Lauterbrunnen Valley to see them all. This one is on the Rhine River as you're making your way to Germany. I totally recommend entering through Schloss Laufen on the southern bank. There are many viewing platforms that give you closer views and sounds of this powerful waterfall as you walk along the Belvedere Trail. There's even a glass lift with beautiful panoramic views that takes you down to the lower platforms. The north side will more than likely give you a bigger picture of how wide it is and the strength of it. Go to both sides if you have the time. There's also a boat option that will take you even closer without the long walk. There are so many ways to experience it. It was amazing to be so close to it. There is an open area under a limestone rock ceiling that allows you to feel the spray and hear the roaring of the water. It's a great sideways view of the flowing water. I saw the beautiful rainbow over the falls just prior to getting to that observation area. This is also where you can get a great view of the large rock (Rheinfall-Felsen) in the middle of the falls that is a remnant of the cliff that was once there. We saw people taking stairs up to the top of that rock from the boat. Another observation to note is the beautiful color of the water. The photos and videos don't really capture the beauty of it. It's so blue!! It was another memorable visit coupled with a stop at Stein am Rhein for lunch. We couldn't have asked for better weather that day. Amazing! read more

Fantastic half-day trip, it is not the biggest fall I have ever seen, but it is still fantastic to get up and close to see the power of mother nature. Highly recommended if you are in Zurich and looking for something to do read more
With a height of 23 metres (75 ft) and a total width of 150 metres (490 ft), the Rhine Falls on the border of Germany and Switzerland is Europe's largest waterfall. The Duke of Jestetten built the castle--Schlößli Wörth--in 1398 along the Rheinfall's banks here to serve as a customs house along the trade route between Lake Constance and Basel and the Upper Rhine. When a railway was built nearby in 1835, the water trade route on the Rhine lost its importance, and the Canton of Schaffhausen converted the castle into a restaurant which remains popular with tourists to this day. read more
Amazing!!!! I have been wanting to visit the Rheinfalls for a long time. I didn't even know about them until I moved to Switzerland. The Rheinfalls is the largest waterfall in Europe and is just a short walk from the Neuhasen am Rheinfall SBB train stop. You can easily get here by train from Zurich within 50 minutes. There is typically a direct train 1x every hour. I didn't have time but there also seems to be a nice walk along the river connecting the town of Neuhasen and Schaffhausen. You can hear the falls before you reach them. Once I saw them they took my breath away. It is not the size of the Niagra falls, but it is unique and wonderful in it's own right. You can't compare them. Activities on-site: However, like the Niagra falls during the summer season you can get a ticket on a boat for about 8 CHF and ride up to the falls. The boat will even drop you off at the rock in the middle which you can then climb some stairs up to the top off. On the right hand side of the falls is a castle, which has been renovated into a Youth Hostel. I definitely would LOVE to stay there sometime. There are also a few quick places you can buy and eat a snack at, or a restaurant for a sit down meal. Of course there are lots of different trails marked that you can walk on and enjoy different views of the falls from. read more
The largest waterfall in Europe was located within a short walk of my European home. While it's not like America's Niagara Falls, what it lacks in height it makes up for in grandeur. Formed during the last ice age 14,000 to 17,000 years ago, Rheinfalls creates a boundary line from Canton Zurich and Canton Schaffhausen. The falls flow into a bay area, with the larger waterfall belonging to Schaffhausen and the smaller to Zurich. Legend has it the ownership of these falls was an epic accomplishment for Schaffhausen as it rivals the large city of Zurich. My first visit to Rheinfalls was at night, with the waterflow illuminated with moonlight. I strolled along the bay area, then ascended a stairwell along side the falls where I saw the water trickling down the plateau. Breathtaking. I later returned during the day to see the falls. While the evening viewing is the most spectacular, the daylight is better for seeing the landscape and rock formations along the way. In the distance, an elevated rail line runs above the stream. It's as if I were looking at a portrait, not nature. Rheinfalls are one of the world's greatest wonders, in my opinion. Definitely worth checking out, plus it's free to the public! read more

Located in Switzerland, this waterfall is the largest in Europe, but second compared to Niagara Falls. We took a boat ride right up to the falls to get some gorgeous pictures and feel the mist of the massive waterfall. This place is known for tourism, but wasn't too crowded, and not too long of a wait for the boat ride. Breathtakingly beautiful and worth visiting! read more

Really nice falls with a lot of vantage points as well as places to sit. Super accessible by train, the falls can be seen right from the train if coming from Zürich. Some of the reviews are negative and you might think that the falls are not so high if you have been to the Niagara Falls a few times but visiting is totally worth it especially on a sunny day. read more

I was super amazed by the volume and power of the water! A must see if you are near or in Schaffhausen. There is parking there and nice hikes! The parking lot is super close to the waterfall and the hikes are super easy to do. Do one of the boat trips, it's worth it! The trip number 1 takes you to the middle of the waterfall (on a rock) and then you can get out of the boat and climb up to get a view from the middle of the fall. Be prepared to get wet. The food there is quite expensive though, I paid 4 euros for a small bottle of coca-cola from the snacks shop. The souvenir shop has more stuff about Switzerland than about the Waterfall. So I think the best thing you can take with you is a video you can record when the boat trip takes you up close to the falls! read more

Rheinfall waterfall is the largest plain waterfall in Europe. It is accessible by train from Zurich to Schloss Laufen am Rhein within about an hour. There was a castle that had a wedding on. Entry to the castle and waterfalls was 5 Swiss francs. The castle had history of the draw of people to the Rheinfall, a beetlejuice-esque dinner and piano played by piano; it was quite ghostly. The fall it's self was very impressive. You could walk down to meet a boat for a river cruise (separate ticket) where you could climb some steps and be standing in the middle of the waterfall. read more

Stopped here as part of a tour and absolutely loved it. There isn't much shade so it got pretty hot, but we solved the issue with soft serve (#notmadaboutit). The falls are beautiful and the area offers stunning views. I would encourage bringing water and a camera! read more
