2 days in Rheinfelden
2 days in Rheinfelden - there is so much to discover. Inspiration for two unforgettable days with activities, accommodation and restaurant tips.
1. arrival by boat from Basel.
The most spectacular way to get to Rheinfelden is by boat. Arrive by boat from Basel at 11 a.m. and enjoy the magnificent river scenery and a delicious lunch on board. (only from April to October)
2. take a guided tour of the town.
Choose from over 15 themed tours and immerse yourself in the history of Switzerland's oldest Zähringen town. Choose your preferred date for a group tour or take part in a public tour on Saturdays at 2 pm.
3. shopping spree in the old town
Stroll through the Old Town and visit the numerous boutiques, most of which are run by their owners. Surprise someone back home with a gift from Rheinfelden or buy yourself a souvenir.
4. enjoy a meal on the Rhine terrace.
Whether you're enjoying a cocktail or a fine meal - on a terrace directly on the Rhine, you can let your gaze wander and enjoy the calming sound of the river. And on balmy summer evenings, enjoy the magnificent sunset.
5. overnight stay in a hotel, hostel or BnB.
After such an eventful day, nice hosts and a comfortable bed are just what you need to relax. Choose from 3- and 4-star hotels, a small but fine hostel or spend the night with local hosts in a vacation apartment or guest room.

6 First of all, Zmörgele...
The second day starts with a good breakfast. Coffee and croissants or would you prefer a large breakfast buffet? These hotels and restaurants will give you a good start to an eventful day.
7. take a hike along the Rhine riverside circular trail.
Immerse yourself in the diverse natural landscape of the Rhine and hike along the popular circular trail, also known as the "Schwobe-Rundi" by the locals. Along the cross-border circular trail, information boards point out the exciting history of the two Rheinfeld sister towns.
8 A little refreshment
A 3-course lunch menu, a small snack or something "over the counter" - there are numerous restaurants, food trucks, market stalls and take-aways in Rheinfelden's old town to satisfy both small and large appetites.
9. experience beer, salt, shrimps or Roman times.
Immerse yourself in the world of beer and visit Feldschlösschen Brauwelt. Or are you more interested in the mining of salt? Two of only three mining sites in Switzerland are located in the Rheinfelden region. The salt and waste heat from the Swiss salt works in Riburg are used to breed Rheinfelden's SwissShrimp - visit the shrimp farm.
Would you prefer to travel back in time? Then visit the Roman town of Augusta Raurica.
Bad weather alternatives: a warm bath in the Rheinfeld Natursole®.
The Rheinfelder Natur sole® is unique and not only beneficial to health, but also very relaxing. Visit one of the two brine baths and recover body, mind and soul from your eventful stay in Rheinfelden.
