Amazing time spent - with wonderful views.
The Rhine Falls, the biggest waterfall in Europe, offer the visitors a spectacular sight! 17,000 years ago this impressive wonder of nature was formed and is now the main attraction for countless visitors from all over the world. Over a width of 150 metres and a height of 23 metres, an average of 700,000 litres of water cascade over the rocks every second. A boat ride to the famous rock in the middle of the Falls and the short walk to the top, is an unforgettable experience for every visitor.

Beautiful
Definitely worth going. Train is easy to get you there and drops you off where you can see it. I was told it was like the US version of Niagara Falls...but smaller. I think that is a very appropriate description. If you aren't afraid of stairs, I recommend buying the 20 franc tix for the yellow boat and climbing the rock in the middle. Your pictures will be beautiful!

Not Niagara falls, but still... impressive
This place is a "must see", especially if one is attracted to water, like myself. The promenade is splendid, with great opportunity for pictures. It can be romantic too. Two things impressed me the most: Overpriced potable water (€ 5 for 1/2 Lt plain water!), and, on the bright side, the professional skills of the skippers that offer the short boat trip to the falls. One has to be highly skilled to be able to control the boat in water full of eddies; kudos, guys!
