Overview
If you are staying in Frankfurt and want a short getaway from Germany’s only high-rise skyline, Mainz is perhaps the most romantic place to go.
Situated at the confluence of the rivers Rhine and Main, the Roman-founded capital of Rhineland-Palatinate exudes a "savior Vivre'' dating from Napoleon’s occupation (1797-1814). Dive into the rich cultural heritage which also incorporates a long-standing wine-growing tradition.
At the Palace of the Holy Roman Emperor, you will see what today is the Gutenberg Museum, dedicated to Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press and where his original 15th-century translation of the Bible is still to be seen. Immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the Market Square, and see the sandstone column known as Heunensäule, that honours the history of Mainz.
This excursion will take you from Frankfurt to Mainz by train, arrive with your private guide to this beautiful city.
