Mainz

The cathedral is the landmark of the city of Mainz and a big part of its identity for the people of Mainz, and not just at carnival time. "The urban heart of the Rhineland-Palatinate state capital beats in the shadow of the cathedral. The market square and the neighbouring charming old town are bustling with activity. Mainz is worth a visit at any time of day, both in summer and winter. There is a direct train connection from Ingelheim station several times an hour, with a journey time of less than 15 minutes.
