World Famous

Niagara Falls

USA / Canada

The world's most famous waterfalls, straddling the US-Canada border. Thundering water, mist rainbows, and tourist boats since 1846.

European Alternative

Rhine Falls

Switzerland

Europe's largest waterfall by volume. 150m wide, surrounded by medieval castles and vineyards. Take a boat right up to the central rock. Easily reached by Swiss rail.

By train

Why These Two?

Both are wide, thundering waterfalls with boat tours taking you into the mist and spray.
