The fort and castle, Rhine Falls and river walk, including the little city (cobblestoned)downtown makes this stop worthwhile. Cheese and chocolate shops, bakeries and morning cafes make this a good low-key place to relax while still seeing amazing sights. Easy train access. Look for the accordion player on the street who performs classical pieces- stunning!
There was a festival going on while we were there so we got to listen to traditional Swiss music and sample traditional Swiss food. The shops and restaurants were great. We dined on the river's edge and watched the boats. The fortress was magnificent, a must see. People were very friendly and helpful.
Great town to stay overnight when you visit the Rhinefall. If you want to walk, it takes 45 minutes along the river bank to the falls, but you may take the bus number 1 from the main train station and get there in 10 minutes. You can get bus tickets from the ticket machine inside the bus and you can use both euros or Swiss francs. If you don't have cash, you can use your credit card at the ticket machine at the bus stop. It took me a while to learn all of this so that's why I'm writing it down here, for other travellers :) The Federnhut provides budget accommodations and it is nicely located across from the ferry landing.
It's a beautiful little town on the Rhine, and a beautiful walk along the river to the Rhine Falls. The town is very small but there were a few excellent restaurants to choose from and a local theater for plays. A great place to relax and enjoy for a few days.
Schaffhausen is a picturesque town on the Rhine River. It is very close to the Rhine falls (largest in Europe) and a short drive from Stein Am Rhein, a very quaint Medieval town. We spent 3 nights there, and it was enough time to se the sights. There's also a boat trip on the Rhine that departs from there, but we didn't take it.
Great small town close to the train station. Lots of restaurants and pubs, cafes and shoppes. All in a small area easily walkable ... Rhinefalls are a short bus or train ride away. The castle is pretty nice... We enjoyed it very much!

“Plenty of space for families with young children. The hotel is within walking distance from the train station and downtown area.”
“Nicest owner we've ever met. Happy, friendly super sweet...from d moment we stepped in we were made to feel special. Hard to find such personal touch these days. The room is fantastic, large with a lot of character & facing the atmospheric street. Functional kitchen, cute sitting coves by the window...the room is delightful. And easy walk from the station. there's a coop next door. The hotel's own cafe/restro below serves delicious deserts, drinks & veg fair too.”
