Mainz is a picturesque old town located in the Rhineland-Palatinate region and serves as its administrative center. The atmosphere of Mainz engulfs you from the very first moment – ​​colorful houses, cobbled squares, cathedrals, and fountains – it all looks like a gingerbread town from an ancient fairy tale. The city's appearance largely harks back to the Middle Ages, and indeed, many buildings can be found here in their original, authentic form. Mainz has preserved so many examples of traditional German architecture, making it difficult to find a better place to experience German traditions.
