I love this medieval treasure of a town, and there’s no better way to experience it than through an intimate walking tour. In just 90 minutes, you’ll discover what makes Stein am Rhein one of Switzerland’s best-preserved medieval settlements.
The private guided tour (€312.50 for groups up to 15) efficiently covers the essentials – the impressive 15th-century Free Imperial city status, Emperor Henry II’s influence, and the historically significant St. Georges Abbey. You’ll see the remarkably preserved city hall, vibrant medieval facade paintings, and stunning Gothic-Renaissance architecture that makes this town special.
This tour stands out because it balances historical insights with plenty of time to soak in the Rhine River views and snap photos of the decorated building facades. The English-speaking guides are knowledgeable and keep the pace comfortable.
