Rhine Falls and Stein am Rhein

Dedicated vehicle & chauffeur
Thunder below, vineyards hushed above: at the Rhine Falls, 600 cubic meters per second slam into the limestone beneath Laufen Castle, with catwalks and viewing decks skimming the spray. Look left for Schlössli Wörth, once a medieval customs stop, and the subtle Jura fault line cutting the river’s course. Then the pace shifts upriver to Stein am Rhein, 24 km away, where 16th‑century murals still mark guild pride, saints’ processions, and carnival scenes beneath timbered eaves.
The flow is seamless: hotel pickup in Zurich by Mercedes, a dedicated driver, and a straight shot on the A4 in roughly 50 minutes. You walk the Laufen platforms, board the boat to the central rock if you wish, then meet your driver to trace the Rhine to Stein am Rhein. He’ll pull up near Rathausplatz, leaving you to sip fresh apple juice or a coffee at Uferlos while he handles timing and parking; in Zurich, having a private chauffeur also makes quick detours easy, like a photo stop at Schaffhausen’s Munot bastion.

Your chauffeur’s tip
For a near-empty rock landing, aim for the first boat around 9:30 in summer, and pack a light rain layer—the spray drenches the catwalks when the wind swings westerly.
