Itinerary

  1. 1

    Rhine Valley

    10 min

    The tour begins on the Rhine promenade with beautiful views of the river.

  2. 2

    Rekonstruierter Marktplatz Am Dom

    15 min

    At the magnificent cathedral square where we will see colourful, ornately decorated old houses and the beautiful renaissance well. If we are lucky, we will also experience the traditional farmers' market which still takes place here every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday (until 14:00) as it has for centuries.

  3. 3

    Kirschgarten

    20 min

    From the cathedral we will stroll through the nearby pedestrianised old town ("Altstadt"). We will walk along the romantic winding lanes of the medieval part of the city and discover picturesque little squares such as the Cherry Orchard ("Kirschgarten") with its half-timbered houses.

  4. 4

    Mainzer Dom

    40 min

    For over a thousand years the mighty St. Martin's cathedral has towered over the ancient city of Mainz. Here kings have been crowned and the Protestant Reformation was kindled. Discover its many unique features, hear about its dramatic history and meet headless St. Alban in the cloisters.

Meeting and pickup

Unless otherwise arranged, the meeting point is directly at the river Rhine at Fischtorplatz
