Review & FAQ:

As the capital of Rhineland-Palatinate, Mainz has a much more urban feel than the rest of the state, and it's well worth a visit if you want to get out of Frankfurt for the day without leaving city comforts behind. The city is known for its savoir-vivre, and a visit here isn't complete without strolling along the river, sipping on local beer in one of the Old Town taverns, and sampling the many wines that are made in the area. If you want to add an educational slant to your visit, you can learn about the history of the printing press in the Gutenberg Museum. Mainz
