This enchanting morning tour shows you two iconic landmarks of Northern Switzerland: the stunning Rhine Falls, and the medieval Castle Laufen. Sit back and relax on a comfortable coach as you drive past rolling vineyards and quaint farming villages alongside your tour guide, who will share facts about Switzerland's interesting history and culture. Get down at Castle Laufen, where you'll continue on to the Rhine Falls, Europe's biggest waterfalls, and soak up views from the panoramic lift.

Watch as 700'000 liters of water thunder down per second, plunging into a wide basin below. You may also take a short stroll on the Belvedere panoramic trail towards the viewing platform, letting you feel the spindrift of the rumbling waters. After this, you'll visit Castle Laufen, the medieval patriarchal castle filled with intriguing history and well-decorated rooms. Visit the Histomara and learn all about this unique palace!
