Why we featured this post

Rhine Falls can be a perfect family day trip, and this post tells you exactly how to pull it off without a tour. It explains why the falls are famous (23 meters high, up to 600 cubic meters per second) and how to dodge the tour-bus rush by arriving before 9 am or after 5 pm. You will get practical train and driving times from Zurich, Basel, and Freiburg, plus a clear breakdown of the south side (Schloss Laufen platforms and lift) versus the free north side. The boat section is especially helpful for picking the rock boat and knowing what it costs.

Things to do

  • Ride the rock boat to the central rock
  • Walk the Panorama Trail down to the falls
  • Visit Schloss Laufen viewing platforms and Panorama Lift
  • Head to Stein am Rhein for lunch
