    Once the episcopal seat of the influential Prince-Electors, the "civilized" origins of Mainz date back to around 38 BC, when the Romans built a citadel here. The city's location at the confluence of the Rhine and the Main is ideal for trade, something reflected by the artifacts kept in the Landesmuseum, that show there have been settlements here since 300,000 BC.

    The most logical starting point is the Dom, the Cathedral of St Martin and St Stephan, especially on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, when the farmers' market is open. Although the cathedral was actually started in 975, most of what is seen today was built from the 11th to the 13th centuries. At the Dom und Diözesanmuseum in the cathedral cloisters, you can truly witness the opulence and wealth controlled by the Church in Mainz.

    Mainz is also the home of the man identified by Time Magazine as the most important individual in the last millennium, Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the moveable type printing press.

    Mainz is also the home of the music publisher Schott Music.

    • By train

      Mainz has several railway stations. The biggest and the only one in which InterCity and InterCityExpress trains do stop is Mainz Hauptbahnhof (main station), it is on the western edge of the city centre and works as a general hub for local traffic. Another noteworthy station is Mainz Römisches Theater (Roman theatre), south of the centre, but it is only served by regional and commuter trains. Both are served from [wiki=4312d5c8cdda027420c474e2221abc34]Frankfurt[/wiki], about 45 minutes away, by S-Bahn line S8.

    * The Theodor Heuss Rhine Bridge between Mainz and [wiki=f9d6234a69015a9390bad10a36d25b8f]Mainz-Kastel[/wiki] is one of three Rhine bridges that connect [wiki=3496da6c1db0a5223edb1fb4c415a154]Mainz[/wiki] with [wiki=9974545279455eb03bf50b1b1b4d7fea]Wiesbaden[/wiki] and the state of [wiki=0cee141d0d8d5eee1a2e57a1bac633c2]Hesse[/wiki]. Like almost all other German Rhine bridges, the former bridge had been destroyed in World War II. The bridge was rebuilt in the early 1950s and named after the first president of the Federal Republic of Germany, Theodor Heuss. Kastel, a former Mainz suburb and several other villages on the right side of the Rhine, has been separated from the city after the war, as the Rhine was the border between the French and American occupation sectors. Even today, Kastel, Kostheim, Amoeneburg, Ginsheim, Gustavsburg and the other former suburbs consider themselves part of Mainz, although they are administered by Wiesbaden and Hesse.

    * The City Hall was built in the early 1970s by Danish architects, who used many tons Swedish marble for the facade. Considered modern at the time it was built, the city hall is not very popular today, many consider it too monumental, some even ugly. From the extensive city hall platform there is a beautiful view on the Rhine promenade and the river.

    *Schillerplatz. Beautiful, leafy square in central Mainz with the fountain said to represent the jesters and fun of Mainz's fastnacht celebration.

    Mainz has two culinary specialities, both types of cheese. Spundekäse is local cream cheese whipped with cream into a soft paste, served with chopped raw onion and pretzels - the taste is mild and it goes great with beer.
    Handkäse is a sour milk cheese with a pungent aroma, most often served mit Musik, or marinated in vinegar and oil, then sprinkled with caraway seeds, resulting in a bizarre, firm, gelatinous mass that most people find to be a bit of an acquired taste - and the "music" refers to the flatulence it tends to cause!
    • Budget

      Best place in Mainz for a curry wurst. Although a Frankfurt specialty, the location is ideal and a popular hang out for locals. Best Worscht is known for its "hotness" scale ranging from A to F, with F being unbearably hot! Closed on Sundays.
