Mainz is the beautiful capital of the Rhineland-Palatinate region - a place worth a visit. It is located at the confluence of the rivers Main and Rhine. Mainz has a rich cultural heritage whose roots go back thousands of years.

One of the best places to immerse yourself in the past with all your senses is the lovingly restored Old Town, filled with an authentic atmosphere. The real highlight of the Old Town is the majestic Mainz Cathedral, towering above the skyline. In its shadow lie the medieval and early modern districts of Mainz. Unlike the bustling Old Town, the view of Mainz from the banks of the Rhine is somewhat austere. The New Arsenal, the Command of the Teutonic Knights, and the Electoral Palace reflect the Baroque and Renaissance eras. The Gutenberg Printing Press Museum, the Romano-Germanic Central Museum, and the Kunsthalle Art Gallery stand out as the best museums in Mainz.

The city is known for its university, Roman heritage, its status as a media center, and state capital. Mainz is the official wine capital of Germany, and the surrounding Rheinhessen region is Germany's largest wine-producing region, covering about 26,000 hectares. The wines grown near the city and processed in the many regional wineries enjoy an outstanding reputation. Part of Mainz's illustrious history is linked to the world of books - the town was home to the inventor of movable-type printing, Johannes Gutenberg, who revolutionized the way books were produced in the fifteenth century. The University of Mainz, which has about 32,000 students, was named in his honor. University Hospital Johannes Gutenberg Mainz is famous for its principle of complex patient care and high-quality medical services.

Mainz is a city that will not make visitors bored. The Mainz Rhine promenade has a Mediterranean flavor, almost five and a half kilometers long. There is plenty of room to stroll at sunset, enjoy good wine on the sunbathing lawns, and watch large ships and small boats pass by. History, culture, culinary delights, nature, and a unique attitude to life - there is much to discover and experience in Mainz and its surroundings.
