I am coming to Mainz this Christmas with my husband and 2 adult daughters to visit my son and his wife who just moved to Mainz. We are having troubles finding and apartment self-catering unit to rent over the holidays. Any suggestions? Thanks!!!
Have a look at this page, linked from Mainz tourist information site:
http://www.touristik-mainz.de/privatunterkuenfte.html
It is in German only, but easy enough to work out (perhaps use an online translator such as http://uk.babelfish.yahoo.com/ )
For the above link
Zentrum = central Mainz
Stadtbereich = all of Mainz
Randgebiet = surroundings
55... Mainz = Mainz itself
55... Mainz - XY = suburbs of Mainz
55... XY = nearby villages
There are not that many vacation apartments in the city center. From the viewpoint of the owners this is outside of the city center more attractive.
If using public transport:
The suburbs of Mainz are normally still good connected by public transport.
With the other nearby places you have to check this individually.
When you google "Fewo Mainz" you get some links, but you have to check if the apartments are in Mainz or somewhere near it. I found this apartment
http://ferienwohnung.kastel-kostheim.de/english/index.php.
This is a very nice suburb and they only ask for three days minimum stay. Usually it's one week.
The website fewo24 (google it and it,s the first website that apperars) has a flat called Ferienwohnung Kneip with 2 bedrooms and it looks nice. It,s at Dorweiler a small village an hour from Mainz. If you look at the website type Mainz into the search box on the left and you can view the photos.
If you are in Mainz during Christmas time, please visit the Christmas markets. Generous choice of great food and gifts. We love their Mushroom dish and also the German Sausages ! We can never get enough of it !
Also try the Gruwine (Warm Mulled Wine). This promise to warm you up in the freezing winter. This is how Christmas should be celebrated !
In the rapidly descending twilight of an early January afternoon, I didn't have time to take a moment and step inside the Christuskirche. But I did snap a picture of its impressive copper dome.
The Christuskirche was dedicated in 1903, and was part of a Wilhelmine project to bring an imperial and stately air to what were then the northern suburbs of the city. A little pompous and grandiose, perhaps, something it shares with many other projects undertaken during the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II (1888-1918). Appropriately, it stands in the median of Kaiserstrasse.
Ever since 1884, when this railway line was built, it has been known that the ancient Romans had something at this site. But exactly what it was, and how big, has only gradually become evident, especially in the last five years of systematic excavation.
Mogontiacum was the Roman name for what is now Mainz and vicinity, and it was important to them particularly as a strategic location because of the confluence of the Main and Rhine Rivers.
In the 11th century, a historian named Gozwin wrote: "Hoc etiam astruunt adhuc superstites theatri ruinae, quod Romano more ad ludos circenses et theatrica spectacula constructum est".
Any questions?
I enjoyed my pasta here, but I've had better. My Milanese friend wasn't overly impressed, although it was definitely authentic Italian, unlike some of the other places in town. The guys were all from the Naples region, according to my friend, judging by the strong accents. Not great, but not bad either, and a safe choice for Italian food if you are on this side of town.
The Mainz portion of the Rhine River is lovely but it is hard to compare them with the part outside of mainz. Still worth a nice walk anytime of the day.
