About Mainz
- Mainz is a fascinating city with a rich history. Its many sights include the remnants of a Roman theatre; St Martin's Cathedral, which dates back to the 10th century; and the Gutenberg Museum, dedicated to the inventor of movable type in Europe.
- As the capital of Rhineland-Palatinate, it also boasts a rich cultural scene, with museums, theatres and concerts.
- The city is located on the river Rhine - one of its main attractions, alongside the famous local wines.
In direct vicinity...
The Rhine-Main region has a lot more to offer! Here are a few options:
