4.8/5
28 reviews
Mainz cathedral is one of the most beautiful and most imposing romantic-style cathedrals in the middle Rhine region, recording the history and the splendor of the archbishops of Mainz. The archbishops' memorial tombs and the cathedral museum house many valuable works of art. Right outside the cathedral is a market where having breakfast with the locals—various sausages, bread, and coffee—is a pleasant experience.Mainz · 2 km from downtown

Drosselgasse is a narrow, cobblestone alley in the old town of Rudesheim. Its history dates back to the 15th century. Originally a settlement for Rhein boatmen, it is now lined with old half-timbered taverns, restaurants, and souvenir shops, exuding a rich local charm. This alley is famous for its wine culture. Rudesheim is located in the Rheingau wine region, and Riesling white wine is the local specialty. Most taverns in the alley serve wine produced by local wineries. When night falls, many long-established taverns often feature live bands, with brass instruments and guitars taking turns, while visitors raise their glasses and chat, showcasing a lively nightlife atmosphere along the Rhein. Although the alley is not long, the scattered traditional buildings and the fragrant taverns complement each other. Strolling through it, you can taste authentic wine culture and experience the unique old town atmosphere of Rudesheim.Rudesheim · 23.4 km from Mainz

What travelers say about Mainz

Mainz Cathedral is a reddish sandstone building. It has been repaired many times in history because of wars and fires. When we went there, the top of the church's bell tower was still under repair. The interior of the church is also reddish sandstone. It lacks the exquisiteness and magnificence of the Rococo style, but is more solemn and dignified.

This is the home stadium of the Bundesliga team Mainz. Although the team's level is average and there are no big-name stars, the German fans are indeed hardcore and loyal, and the attendance rate is very high!

Located in the lovely German Rüdesheim, the Drosselgasse is a small street in a traditional wine growing town. you can shop, dine at the many traditional wineries or even stay in hotels right there. it has a nice tradition vibe with lots to do around including visiting castles or taking the cable car up to the adjacent mountain with the monument on the unification of Germany.

Main Tower offers the best panoramic view of Frankfurt! Standing 200 meters high, it gives you a stunning 360° perspective of the city skyline, the river, and even the distant hills. Go at sunset for a magical view. A must for first-time visitors and city lovers! #MainTower #FrankfurtViews #SkylineGermany #VisitFrankfurt #CityFromAbove
