Kirschgarten Square with Fountain

Highlight • Historical Site

A small addition: Unfortunately, the statement "Oldest house in Mainz" does not apply here!
The oldest preserved and inhabited building in Mainz is the "Haus zum Stein" 👌😉

Augustinerstraße (Old Town, Mainz)

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

I highly recommend a stroll through the lively pedestrian zone of the narrow Augustinerstraße, only about 250 meters long – perhaps combined with a stop at a typical Mainz restaurant – to every new visitor as a real treat! Here you'll find the most authentic Mainz experience!

Mainz South Bridge (View from the towpath)

Highlight • Bridge

The Mainz Südbrücke connects the federal states of Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate. The bridge is designed to have two tracks. Pedestrians and cyclists can also cross the Rhine on a footbridge attached to the outside of the bridge structure.

View of Mainz from the Hessian side of the Rhine

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a great view over the Rhine to Mainz. The towers of Mainz Cathedral are clearly visible, dominating the pretty skyline.

Reduit, Mainz-Kastel

Highlight • Historical Site

At the beginning of the 19th century, the Mainz fortress was expanded. This also included the construction of the Reduit barracks on the strategically important bridge over the Rhine. In the immediate vicinity of the historic building, you can relax wonderfully today, stroll along the bank or stop in one of the restaurants such as Bastion Schönborn. Incidentally, the Mainz-Kastel district nowadays does not belong to Mainz, but to Wiesbaden, and thus to Hesse.

Kastel Riverside Promenade

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you can manage it in time, you should definitely visit the Castellum Museum in the Reduit. Opening hours: From March to November, every Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Comprehensive, well-documented finds from the local area and exhibits, from Roman times through the First Mainz Republic to modern times (craftsmen in Kastel), including the carnival cabinet, as well as the raftsmen's room in the Schönborn bastion.
