Enjoy about one hour at your leisure to explore Europe’s biggest waterfall and one of Switzerland’s major tourist attractions.

Next will follow a guided stroll through the winding alleys of the well-preserved Old Town, where, thanks to your guide, you'll learn the story behind the exceptional frescoes of the many distinctive buildings.
