With a population of just under 39,000, Schaffhausen is a small Swiss town with a quaint old town and easy access to the Rhine Falls. However, the bureaucracy can be a persistent headache, and the climate is rather wet, with an average of 122.5 rainy or snowy days per year. While the town has a charming medieval aesthetic, it may not be the best fit for those seeking an easy, carefree expat experience.
