Great touristic sight with easy access from the city. You need to climb up some stairways to get to the top. Even on a hot day the basement provides well received shadow and cool atmosphere to chill. There is free arts exhibition and also the access to the top is free of charge. A small kiosk is providing snacks and refreshments. Bathroom and all other facilities are clean and well maintained. The views a breath taking. If you are in the area, plan for a visit. Going up and down including parking will take roughly 30 min not including the time you will spend enjoying the view and the medieval fortress with plenty of historical details.

Munot @ Switzerland 🏰🇨🇭 📍 Schaffhausen, Switzerland Munot is a 16th-century circular fortress overlooking the town of Schaffhausen, offering panoramic views of the old town, the Rhine River, and surrounding vineyards. Built as a defensive structure, it has thick stone walls, a central courtyard, and a prominent tower you can climb for an even better vantage point. The walk up to Munot is scenic, passing through charming cobblestone streets and vineyards. From the top, the view stretches across the rooftops of Schaffhausen and toward the distant hills—a perfect spot for photography and a peaceful break from the busier town areas. 🧭 Tip: Visit in the late afternoon for softer light and fewer crowds, or at sunset for stunning golden-hour views. Entry is free, and the climb isn’t too strenuous.

Nice castle offering great views of the city. The is no entrance fee and there is a convenient parking close by. Note that the bridge near Munot parking is currently closed for repairs until December 25 do you need to climb down and up again the stairs.

This was such a cool fortress to visit. It was completely free to walk around the grounds and into the tower itself. There are deer on the grounds that are beautiful to watch. It was not very busy on a Saturday morning. You have to walk up a good bit of stairs and some of the interior is very dimly lit, so people who are a fall risk might not enjoy this activity. Lots of information on plaques and audio in English and German.

Really cool place, with nice view of the city and surrounded by deers in the dry moat. On the top you can even order some food and have a great time looking at the Rhine.

Look for deer! Castle Munot is a fortress above the old town of Schaffhausen. Built in 1589 based on designs by artist Albrecht Dürer, its distinctive circular form reflects Renaissance military engineering principles where curved, sloping walls deflected cannonball impacts rather than absorbing them at vulnerable corners.

A lovely excursion, free to visit, with a beautiful view of Schaffhausen's old town. Very recommended.

Nice beer garden, didn't spend enough time to properly sample their offering

(Translated by Google) Beautiful old town. Unfortunately, we couldn't fully enjoy the city due to the "Stars in Town" festival (on a Sunday)... Very pedestrian-friendly. There's no shortage of restaurants. Historic old town with many bay windows and painted facades, and an idyllic location on the Rhine. (Original) Schöne Altstadt. Leider konnten wir die Stadt infolge Stars in Town (an einem Sonntag) nicht voll auskosten......... Sehr gut für Fussgänger. An Restaurants mangelt es nicht. Historische Altstadt mit vielen Erkern und bemalten Fassaden sowie die idyllische Lage am Rhein.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful old town...distance is maintained very well... (Original) Schöne Altstadt..Abstand wird sehr gut eingehalten...

one of the most beautiful and finest river journeys. We all enjoyed a lot!

Best daytrip on a sunny day. We went frim Konstanz to Schaffhausen. Top

The upper Rhein is very beautiful and the best way to see it is from the river. You can even go as far as Kreuzlingen on Lake Constance. It can be very busy.

It was an overall superb experience at the Museum! I had always wanted to visit the place where IWC watches are assembled and finally had a ‘pocket of time’ to stroll through and learn more about the heritage and works of IWC. I would also like to commend Zoe for her warm and spectacular reception! Loved the fact that she wanted me to be comfortable by offering a place for coats and bags.

Unless u are a IWC lover if not it's not worth to visit the museum as it is chargeable. On the contrary, the park a few steps away is nice place to relax.

Visiting the IWC Museum was an incredible experience—it deepened my appreciation for the brand and inspired me even more to pursue owning one.

Visited IWC Schaffhausen as recommended by my wife since we were around the area at Rhinefalls. As a watch enthusiast, and a fan of the brand, it was such an amazing experience to visit, and take a walk in the brand’s history. They provide both unguided & guided tours, both with different entrance fees. Other than the museum, they of course have a boutique there as well. I purchased my first IWC: the Pilot mark XX with pascal oehen, a client advisor there. Would highly recommend visiting the museum and boutique, and if you can ask for pascal!

Not too big (much smaller then Omega museum as example) but well made, offers audio guide and interactive guide experience . Personell is cordial and price is fair .

Beautiful museum! It actually showed the history and origins of these time keeping masterpieces! Very informative and interactive. Kinda makes you proud for owning one their watches, make sure to spend good amount of time in there to really understand the stories behind the company! It has two main wings, west wing for the 100 years historical watches evolution and the East wings for the new generation watches. It’s totally worth the visit 👍

Very nice and knowledgable staff. Museum is small but really informative on the history of the brand.

This museum is set in the old Benedictine Monastery. It contains lots of interesting artifacts and the architecture and decoration of the rooms is, also, interesting. You have to buy a ticket to enter. Staff were welcoming and helpful. There are no English information signs. However, you are provided with a book that has the information in English. This needs to be returned before leaving. While it was nice to be able to learn about the artifacts, it was a bit of a pain lugging the book around the museum. The museum has a cafe and a small souvernir shop. Large bags have to be put into the storage lockers. You are supplied with a coin to do this. There are toilets throughout the building. These were in good condition. There are two disabled toilets. Most of the museum is wheelchair accessible. There are a couple of areas where it would be to narrow for wheelchairs. There is a wheelchair and portable folding chairs that can be borrowed. They offer German sign language tours, though you need to call for dates and times. For English people, there is a book that provides information. Guide dogs are welcome.

We only visited the archaeological exhibition and the private collection. The archaeological collection was really well done for all periods - but it was rather dark, even in places that I think would not be damaged by more light (higher lux). The private collection donated to the museum in 1991 was exhibited by themes. I do find it a bit over-thinking to place objects from so diverse places together.

An amazing museum in an amazing building, a monastery. It is clearly structured and leads you through art, history, artifacts, local industries, old rooms. Easily spend a few hours here.

Wonderful service. One of the best museums I've ever been too. It is very large. You'll need at least 2 to 3 solid uninterrupted hours to view this museum at its fullest.

Huge museum, there is something for everyone. There are also kid corners on each level, so it is great with family.

Visited a museum after a long time. I really liked the way things were presented. It was presented like a timeline, you start from stone age, move through iron age, copper age and continue to modern age. Old bones, weapons and utensils are shown to give a feel of the daily life of ancient humans. I really liked the miniature representations. The paintings were good as well. We had fun time guessing what the modern art paintings represented. We had both young and old generation, it was a fun place for all. Photo clicking was not allowed inside the premises, so no photos to share.

Very modern but quiet place serving nice Teas and cakes

Stunning place, absolutely amazing. Even though it was a rainy morning, the view over the falls and around was breathtaking. I bought boat ride tickets online, but I couldn't use them because our bus tour arrived too early and we only stayed for one hour. There is a very pleasant promenade with benches to rest on, multiple viewing platforms, a couple of gift shops, and several toilet facilities.

It is a beautiful waterfall. I came to it with the knowledge that it is Europe's largest and most powerful waterfall but when I saw it I was not impressed at all. Compared to the major waterfalls in other continents, it is not that large or powerful. But it is beautiful. And the walkway that leads to it is fine. There is plenty of water and it is so beautifully blue. The foamy water under the waterfall is nice to see. And there are quite a few waterbirds there such as gulls.

The Rhine Fall offer a truly spectacular natural experience. We have visited several times and we loved it everytime. Until now, we have always chosen the entrance via Laufen Castle, which features a panoramic trail and a viewing platform situated halfway down. A staircase leads directly to the base of the falls, and after passing through a short tunnel carved into the rock, visitors can admire the waterfall from an impressive side vantage point. Watching the immense volumes of water cascade downward is endlessly captivating — a sight that draws us back time and again. I can also recommend to enjoy the boat ride to the Fall. It‘s a great experience!

Absolutely breathtaking! The view of Rheinfall is simply amazing—powerful, majestic, and unforgettable. Whether you're standing on the viewing platform or taking a boat ride close to the falls, the experience is incredible. Nature at its finest!

A wonderful creation of nature and if you are in Zurich i would recommend having a visit to Rhine falls. It is easily accessible via train and there is a train station that gets you right to the viewing point of rhine falls. You have to buy a ticket to enter the falls which was around 5CHF at the ticket vending machine located there. No need to prebook the tickets. Then you have to take some steps down thus a small walk will take you to the viewing platform of this huge waterfall. You will feel the mist as the water power is really great at the viewing platform. There are several boat services which you can hop on to on an extra cost and will take you closer to the falls.

A must-visit Swiss landmark! Plan at least half a day, walk down from the castle to the waterfall, enjoy the view at various view points, take a boat tour with an audio guide, have a bite, walk back around the waterfall and over the bridge. Visit after a heavy rain when the waterfall has lots of water. Try to come during the week when it’s less busy. There is a little tourist train going around the waterfall and showing some of Schaffhausen. Very easily accessible by car or by train.

An absolutely breathtaking experience! Rhine Falls is a spectacular natural wonder—powerful, majestic, and beautifully accessible. The viewing platforms offer stunning perspectives. A must-visit if you're in Switzerland!
