City introduction

Schaffhausen

Schaffhausen is an ancient city in northern Switzerland, bordering Germany, renowned for its medieval charm and the largest waterfall in Europe. Must-visit: the Rhine Falls, where the water roars with immense force, and you can take a small boat to get close to the rocks. The Munot Fortress is a 16th-century circular stronghold; from its top, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the old town with its red roofs. In the old town, you'll find the Schaffhausen Cathedral, the Renaissance-style Town Hall, and buildings with painted façades. For food, try the Schaffhausen Blue Burgundy wine, cheese fondue, handmade spaetzle, and Rhine river fish dishes — all not to be missed.
