How booking a Rhine Falls trip works

1 · Pick a bank

The platforms and the boats are on different sides of the basin. Decide what you want to see before choosing a ticket.

2 · Check the boat season

Boats to the rock depend on the season and the water level. Check what is running on your date.

3 · Compare against the train

The falls are close to Zurich by rail. Compare a day tour with simply taking the train.
