Mainz cruise port guide
Halfway between Lake Constance and the North Sea, the Rhine meets Mainz. This carnival city is known for its cheerful atmosphere and its hospitality. Why not go for a stroll along the tranquil riverbank or enjoy a good glass of local wine while you’re there? You could also visit the city’s main landmark: Saint Martin’s Cathedral. It boasts one of the richest church interiors in the Christian world. Another important building in Mainz is the Kurfürstliche Schloss (Electoral Palace). This is a prime example of the German Renaissance style of architecture.
About Mainz
Mainz is a historic city on the western bank of the Rhine river in Germany, at the confluence of the Rhine and Main rivers. Its port has a history reaching from Roman times through the Middle Ages to the present day. Excursion ships use modest floating jetty terminals in the old town area to serve Rhine tourist cruises. Mainz is the gateway to the romantic Rhine Gorge (Rhine between Mainz and Koblenz) — a UNESCO World Heritage stretch of castles, vineyards, and cliffs. The city is also celebrated as the birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg and movable type printing.
