 | Mainz Flights and Airline Tips | 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
Mainz is well served by German standards, and has good connections to two busy international airports. Within 20 minutes of Mainz (on the ICE link) you are at the busiest airport in mainland Europe at Frankfurt. By bus you are only a short journey away from one of Europe's busiest budget airport at the inappropriately named Frankfurt-Hahn airport. In fact Mainz is one of the quickest city from which to reach Frankfurt-Hahn, taking only just over an hour, compared to two hours from Frankfurt itself. Frankfurt airport is a central hub for many airlines operating to locations all over the planet, and Hahn is a hub for Ryanair, one of the major budget airlines, and a good number of other airlines too, including even Iceland Express. Ryanair has very cheap flights to every corner of the continent emanating from this out of the way airport.

 Railroad bridge over the Rhine near Mainz by Nemorino The red train crossing the bridge in this photo is the S8, which has come from Hanau by way of Frankfurt and the Frankfurt airport. From here it will go on to Mainz Süd (south station), Mainz Hauptbahnhof (central station) and from there to Mainz Nord (north station) before crossing back over the Rhine on another bridge in the direction of Wiesbaden. You can take your bicycle for free on the S-Bahn in the Rhine-Main area, but you must have a ticket for yourself before boarding the train. The S-Bahn trains are the only ones that stop at each and every stop along the way, and they are the only trains with no toilets, on the theory that people will use them for short rides only.

 Graffitied S-Bahn Train, Mainz by antistar Being a small city Mainz has only a limited tram and train system that is sumplemented heavily by a large number of buses. The central hub for all this activity is the main train station. From here there are trams that run north to south, north along Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ring, and more usefully for most people, south to Schillerplatz. There are also a few S-Bahn trains running to destinations like Wiesbaden. For ticketing and travel information check out www.rmv.de, but if you are only coming for a few days or a weekend and want to use public transport you will probably find the Mainz Card to be of greatest value. The Mainz Card is valid for one day or one weekend, and gives free access to all public transport in the city for just 6 euros (or 10 euros for a family ticket). The card also gives free entry to all the best Museums, including the Gutenberg and State Museums (Landesmuseum). It also gives a number of discounts, including a very useful 20% off all tickets for the Köln-Düsseldorfer Linie. Leave a Comment

 Mainz Hbf by antistar Mainz, being close to Frankfurt, has excellent train connections, plus a number of direct lines from the city itself to numerous destinations about the country. From Mainz Hbf you can get direct trains to Hamburg, Cologne, Stuttgart and even Innsbruck and other cities in Austria. The station is located on the western edge of the old town, and if you want to get into the main part of the city as fast as possible its best to take a right up Bahnhofstrasse and head towards Schillerplatz.

S-Bahn or RE trains from Frankfurt takes about 45mins to 1 hour to Mainz Haupbahnhof. The Mainz suedbahnhof is nearer to the centre of the town though. About 5-10 mins walk from Mainz suedbahnhof. S-Bahn trains also run into the nearby towns such as Wiesbaden in less than 10mins. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Mainz is very close to Frankfurt, so you can easily go there by S-Bahn from Franfurt's airport. Mainz is not so big, so you can walk around. Public transportation, however, is good, as in the rest of Germany. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

From the Frankfurt airport, it's easy to visit Mainz since there's a train station inside the airport. The train will have visiters in Mainz within fifteen or thirty minutes, depending on which train they ride. However, there's more than one station for Mainz, so be sure to depart at either the Mainz Main station or the Mainz Sud (south) station. Don't depart at the Mainz Kastel station, which is abandoned.

 Autobahn by Kristina1701 Mainz is about 30 minutes by car from the Main-Rhein airport in Frankfurt. Hire a car at the airport or use the train in order to get to Mainz. Most sights are in walking distance and you don't even need to use public transportations to get around. Leave a Comment Theme: Train
