So close to Frankfurt without staying in Frankfurt. A smaller city but full of sightseeing opportunities. We walked everywhere and took a rhine river cruise to St Goar and returned to Mainz by train. Many restaurants surrounded the hotel quadrant.

Guest review by George - Altstadt and Rhine
Mainz is a relatively small city founded in Roman times and sits where the Rhine and Main rivers meet. Some Roman ruins still remain. There is plenty of good shopping, places of interest and some great restaurants, a couple of days in the city is probably enough. The Rhine forms the border between Rhineland Palatinate and Hessen, so you may need different travel tickets if you leave Mainz itself. To see further afield, either the rhineland or hessen day tickets give up to five people unlimited rail travel for a very reasonable cost (about £30) so you can explore a large area cheaply.

Mainz has many fabulous attractions like the Gutenberg Museum; it has beautifully restored old buildings and a gorgeous Cathedral complete with a massive cloister. The Rhine river runs through it and offers beautiful quiet walks, runs and views. The city is proud of many old buildings that are restored; it has an almost daily market in the big city square. Buses, trams, and streetcars offer very frequent service everywhere. There are plenty of smart shops and a large variety of restaurants and bars. We found everyone helpful and pleasant. It is a very attractive, walkable city for all ages.

Guest review by Anthony - Dining options
Mainz is a relaxing city with lots to see and do and super friendly inhabitants. The Rhine gives the place its character and is, for me, its main attraction. Sit at the Mole beer garden (self-service, laid back) on a summer's evening to see for yourself. Or bring your own bottles and hang out with the local youth nearby on Saturday or any other night. The Altstadt is charming and pretty low-impact even in August. Kneipe Klingelbeutel serves good cheap food and has a great selection of beers and friendly staff. Behind the Staatstheater there's a good shopping district and you can find plenty of international (especially Near and Middle Eastern) food just beyond that all around Lotharstrasse and the adjacent Neubrunnenplatz and Neubrunnenstrasse in the Bleiche district. Another ten minutes will bring you to the Neustadt and lots of hipsterish bars and cafés around Gartenfeldplatz. For me, the Botanical Gardens were the highpoint of the city (main cemetery and UNESCO site also close by). St. Stephan zu Mainz is another must, with its famous blue-ish windows and wonderful cloister. (Donate - it's free in!) The city park is another gem, with flamingos and a birdhouse for the kiddies, rolling lawns and huge grand old trees. The Gutenberg Museum was a bit of a let-down, and extremely hot in August. But the main attraction, apart from the Rhein, is just the city itself and its feel. ...Which is why walking is the best way to get around, although there are frequent trams and buses. Trains out of town are handy but remember it's the S8 and not S9 S-Bahn to get home (both go to Wiesbaden).

It's my second time in Mainz and every time when I arrived here, it feels like it's not Germany anymore, like I'm in a different country. The city is very alive, very welcoming and very unique with its red sandstone buildings, its narrow shopping streets or with its nice restaurants with outdoor seats and live music from the street performers in Marktplatz. There is more to explore in Mainz, so I'll definitely be back.

We were in Mainz for only two full days but saw and experienced a lot. The Altstadt is beautiful. We visited the Gutenberg Museum and enjoyed their mini-workshop a lot. As an artist, my favourite was the St Stephan's Cathedral, with the stained glass windows designed by Chagall. I did not know of its existence, and I loved it! The Roman Theatre at the Romische Teater train station was not that impressive, as we could only look at it through construction wire. It would have been nice to sit there and contemplate its history. Nevertheless, I am glad I saw it. We also visited the Volkspark on a public holiday, and it was interesting to see how ordinary German families enjoy a sunny day.

I was there for work, so I didn’t act much as a tourist. Anyway I think that Mainz is a rather typical German city with an interesting Altstadt and good transportation. All the other districts I visited were rather abandoned, with tones of waste on the streets and an air of what the French call “decadence”. I didn’t feel safe walking back to my hotel at night and for 4 whole days I didn’t meet just one policeman.

Mainz is great as a centre for travelling around the Rhine region and the Guttenberg Museum was fascinating. If you want to take a boat trip into the Rhine Gorge, take the train to Bingen and buy a K-D ticket to St. Goar or another village on the left bank. From there you can take a train direct back to Mainz. Heidelberg is also easily accessible by fast train: we made a day of it.

Like every other big city it has good and less good parts. But the best parts are the Rhine and the Altstadt. Also really nice museums and a lot of interesting buildings. The atmosphere is very pleasant and I felt like home. Almost every street has something to show to you. If you want to thoroughly visit it and actually see everything you have to stay at least 5 days (maybe even 7). We were lucky to be there during the wine festival in the Stadtpark and it was great. And do not miss the ferry ride on the Rhine, it is magnificent.

I liked most the square in your picture (Kirschgarten), and the excellent restaurant of the same name. The Dom, which was my main reason for visiting Mainz, was gloomy and austere - Speyer is infinitely better - but the church with the Chagall windows (St Stephan) more than made up for it.

Guest review by Ulrike - Museums and cathedrals
Mainz is an attractive city, a university town with a long and interesting history, in particular through its Roman origins and its links to Johannes Gutenberg. It also has an extensive old town and cathedral and a large and lively market where locals love to have their 'Marktfrühstück' (market breakfast) at one of the numerous stalls on a Saturday. Due to its situation Mainz has its own pleasant microclimate with long hot summers and cool dry winters. It is Germany's wine capital and there are many festivals all year round, starting with Fastnacht (carnival) in February, midsummer night (Johannisnacht) in June, the wine festival at the end of August/early September and a very nice Christmas market. In summer, Mainz also boasts its own 'beach' along the Rhine. Transport connections are very good to close-by towns such as Wiesbaden and Frankfurt as well as Darmstadt, Heidelberg, or Mannheim. Trips on the Rhine by boat are highly recommended to see many of the castles along the Rhine, the famous wine-town Rüdesheim or the Loreley rock. This is wine country, so in many of the small, surrounding towns wine-tastings and accompanying food are offered in local vineyards, often in their courtyards, in early autumn. The countryside around Mainz is very varied offering forests and fields as well as vineyards for extensive hikes. There are also the Lenneberg Forest and the nature reserve 'Großer Sand' just outside Mainz and, of course, the Rhine promenade leading up to the large 'Mainzer Volkspark' and rose garden. Finally, there are many affordable restaurants, some of them offering a special lunch-time menu, and in autumn a local speciality is 'Federweißen und Zwiebelkuchen', young wine which has just fermented, and onion tart, which you can both enjoy at stalls located around town from September to October.

We stayed in a penthouse room on the top floor, which was quiet and comfortable. We had a great view of the station opposite, which was interesting for people watching. The location meant it was easy to do day trips by train, but the hotel is only a short distance from the Altstadt and interesting sights to see in Mainz.

A great hotel room for a stay in Mainz. The room was basic but well designed and well finished. Breakfast was incredible, with every option you could need. There are bus stops in to town right near by, but it is also a beautiful walk into the Altstad. Parking is under the hotel, with an internal lift so very convenient.

Great location for station and city centre. Mainz is a good place to visit. Excellent breakfast. Modern, nicely furnished and decorated hotel. Helpful staff.
