The many cultural events in Mainz not only attract German tourists. Museums, plays, carnival parades and wine festivals are particularly attractive to international guests. Because of the tourists from all over the world, Mainz has a multicultural atmosphere, and the positive and open nature of the people of Mainz means that everyone quickly feels at home here.
As the cultural and economic center of the region, Mainz also has a broad public transport system that connects the entire city and its suburbs. Frankfurt International Airport is just a short train ride away (approx. 20 minutes). Trains run from Mainz main station to all parts of Germany – so you can reach neighboring cities as well as distant places quickly and comfortably. It is therefore very easy to discover the Rhine-Main region and the whole of Germany from Mainz.
You can already get to know the city of Mainz virtually. The free Mainz app enables a very special tour of the city and provides information on all the current sights, accommodation, shopping and dining options. The highlight of the app is the virtual and augmented reality feature.
You can use it to go on a virtual tour of discovery, embark on a historical journey through time on site or wander through the city with your smartphone in your hand à la Pokémon GO.
