Mainz is a German city on the banks of the Rhine River, just a 40-minute drive from the vibrant metropolis of Frankfurt. Combining the old with the new, this destination has a historic centre with modern structures, monumental buildings, half-timbered houses and Baroque churches.
One of the main attractions of the city is St. Stephan church with the colourful stained glass windows by Marc Chagall. The weekly market in front of the Cathedral features everything a traveller could wish, from flowers to fresh local products and clothes.
You should not miss the futuristic building of the New Synagogue designed by Manuel Herz, as well as the museums of Mainz State, Ancient Shipping and the Gutenberg Museum.
Known for its sparkling wine, Mainz is Germany’s wine capital thanks to its excellent 200-year tradition. The natural reserve of the Mainz Sand Dunes is home to pre-glacial plant vestiges and rare animals.
Frankfurt International Airport is about 20 km away and has flights to Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Madrid and Copenhagen. Designed by Philipp Johann Berdellé, the Central Station of Mainz Hauptbahnhof connects the city with Mannheim and Rüsselsheim.
