What travelers are saying
- Sue MWilliamsburg, VA1,502 contributionsThis was one of the few places we visited that we could walk off the ship and walk into the Old Town area of Mainz - very nice boardwalk area along the river bank.Written May 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- podrozniczka60New Jersey14,845 contributionsThis truly beautiful - originally late 19th century - church was reconstructed after the WWII. The surrounding is amazing - the gardens and fountains create unique atmosphere. Hopefully some day we will get to hear one of the organ music concerts this church is known for.Written October 21, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- podrozniczka60New Jersey14,845 contributionsIt is always a special feeling to see any ancient Greek or Roman ruins. And here we are in German city of Mainz - the Mogontiacum able to see the remains of what at some point was the highest Aqueduct structure north of the Alps.Written October 18, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sue MWilliamsburg, VA1,502 contributionsThis is a square that the Mainz city plants a beautiful bed of flowers every quarter. We were struck by how lovely the garden is in the midst of the Old Town.Written May 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shelby RAmsterdam, The Netherlands21 contributionsThis museum is very unique in that the majority of it is housed in a former convent. From fauna to minerals and crystals, the museum presents the history of the region in a very interesting way. However, I spent less than an hour here because the descriptions and labels are only in German, with some texts being particularly complex. The hours themselves are very limited, as the museum is only open from 10 am to 2 pm so I also felt rushed since I arrived shortly after 1 pm. I would recommend visiting the Wiesbaden Museum instead, especially for English speakers.Written June 20, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jim WSindelfingen, Germany2,950 contributionsWhat an awesome war memorial to honor God and to show the negative impact of war on humanity. Only the dead see the end of war. We need memorials like this to remind us that we have the ability to create and the ability to destroy. We decide which one we want to do.Written March 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- podrozniczka60New Jersey14,845 contributionsThe museum has limited hours of operation but if you are spending most of your day exploring the citadel you will likely get a chance to visit Stadthistorisches Museum.
The exhibits explore various aspects of the 1000 years of history of city of Mainz. Many exhibits are temporary.Written October 10, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

All of them are 11 jears old and had so much fun! They were realy enthusiatic about the tour. We actually organised the tour because a week ago my son did the "Altstadttour" at the birthdayparty of his friend. Skipping one or two stations they managed the tour completely on their own without theirs parent's help. And they accidentally learned a lot about Mainz wich was a nice side effect. We can relly recommend both tours!
Last not least the tours are safe outdoor activity during the time of the pandemic.Written September 25, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

As of 1960, it is estimated that only eight remain.
The Heunen columns, which are still preserved today, are located in different places. The best-known of them stands as a memorial on the market square here in Mainz. Two more are in Nuremberg and Munich, with another on the waterfront in Miltenberg.Written March 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marek PGdansk, Poland1,920 contributionsYou can also cross this nice old railway bridge over the River Rhine on foot or bike. Pedestrian and bicycle traffic is allowed. As on many bridges, lovers attach padlocks to it :-)Written February 23, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AllanJGJWellington, New Zealand3,848 contributionsAn impressive (and impressively clean!) building which melds the older part of the building with the newer structure on the roof. There a square in front of the building with a sensible Italian eatery where we were able to admire the Theatre over lunch.Written June 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- OldjackGreater Melbourne, Australia27,961 contributionsAnother nice statue outside the church and one that tended to be over-looked. Saint Bonifatius was an English monk who was made Bishop of Mainz from 746-754. Worth a look.Written June 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- podrozniczka60New Jersey14,845 contributionsIt is a very nice sport complex which can be explored on foot. Not a particular attraction if your time in Mainz is limited but soccer fans might be interested.Written October 20, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CloudFrankfurt, Germany609 contributionsThis square is very nice, located one step away from the Market Square. It offers a quiet sideway where one can taste a delicious ice cream in front of the National Theatre. Out of curiosity: on the same square, a sign marks the 50th parallel of latitude.Written June 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
