Tucked in to a curve in the Rhine River, Mainz takes the top spot as the capital of Germany’s wine country. Taverns stocked with world-renowned Riesling reds can be found around the town’s collection of squares, which each have their own individual style. Over in the Markt square, brightly coloured souvenir stalls are hemmed in by a border of Baroque-style houses. And the Kirschgarten area’s loaded with traditionally German, half-timbered houses and restaurants – the former of which date back to the 16th century. At the centre of it all sits the thousand-year-old Mainz Cathedral. History buffs can explore the tombs, where princes and archbishops of the Holy Roman Empire are buried. And the treasury’s packed with displays showcasing a collection of ancient artwork.
You’ll meander through the heart of Mainz on this trip, walking from landmark-to-landmark as you go. The main attraction’s the Gutenberg Museum – one of the oldest printing museums in the world. Early presses, reconstructed workshops and copies of the famous Gutenberg Bible are all on the cards. These were some earliest books ever printed, and there are less than 50 still in existence. The next stop’s just over the road at Mainz Cathedral – a grand Romanesque structure that’s been around for more than a thousand years. To cap things off, you’ll visit the pillar-like memorial in the centre of the multi-coloured marketplace.
