Місто Рахів - районний центр на річці Тиса, географічний центр континентальної Європи. Перша згадка датується 1447 роком, хоча поселення існувало і раніше. Тут був особливо поширений опришківський рух Олекси Довбуша.
Інтенсивний економічний розвиток почався за часів Австро-Угорщини: Рахів став центром лісової промисловості, була прокладена залізниця Рахів-Ясіня. У 1825 році побудований костел Святого Іоанна Непомука. Під час входження Закарпаття до складу Чехословаччини Рахівщина стала активно розвиватися як туристичний центр.
Поруч з Раховим розташований "Карпатський біосферний заповідник" з карстовими печерами "Молочний камінь", "Гребінь" та найглибшою в Карпатах шахтою "Дружба". В околицях багато гірськолижних трас.

На початку червня проходить свято "Проводи на полонину", коли пастухів проводжають на літні пасовища - грають на трембітах і палять ватри.
"Центр Європи" знаходиться біля сусіднього села Ділове на правому березі річки Тиса, де австрійськими фахівцями в 1887 році встановлений геодезичний знак.
