 | Mainz Rhine River Reviews | 1 - 10 of 11 |  |
The city of Mainz is blessed with a location next to the immense Rhein. Even this far inland the river is over half a kilometer wide; by comparison the River Thames at London Bridge is roughly half as far across. The Rhein offers pleasant walks along its promenades, but also boat trips north to the famous Rhein Gorge region and beyond to Koblenz. These boat journeys kick off from the little harbour just past the bridge (take a left at the bridge when approaching from the old town). Leave a Comment Directions: Head east from anywhere in the Altstadt.

Mainz is pretty mainly because it is a town situated just on the banks of River Rhein. Driving from Wiesbaden,Mainz looks lovely! During summer time, an aritifical beach with sand will be set up for people to sunbathe and have a great beer time with friends! Cycling along River Rhein in this part is also very nice!

There are quite a good deal of things to do while you are in the Rhine River region between Koblenz and Mainz, Germany. Not only is there the river and the castles, but there are a ton of small towns and cities scattered along the banks of the water, some are tucked away in the vineyards that cover the hillsides! Some of the better towns to visit (in my opinion), are Bacharach, Bingen, Koblenz, St. Goar, and Cologne. The Burg Eltz is a nice castle even though it's not right on the river. Leave a Comment

When you're taking your Rhine River cruise (and I urge you too), make sure to sit on the top deck, not inside. Listen to the commentator cause he'll point out castles, towers, bridges, and towns. Here's a lovely tower I caught a good glimpse of while on the cruise. Leave a Comment

While I was on my Rhine River cruise we pass this interesting castle in the river. They said that Kind Ludwig once used it as a toll booth that charged every ship that passed. It's was really cool to sail by it just as they would have soooo many years ago. It was amazingly well intact for being in the middle of the river. Leave a Comment Directions: It's right dab in the middle of the Rhine River just before you get to St. Goar and Bacharach I believe, so don't fall asleep on the boat!

Mainz (especially compared to other cities) managed to include the "father rhine" into the city's structure. They created an area of pedestrian- / bicycle-ways, green spaces to rest, some art - and bound this to the old city's "lifelines" of walkways.
So you have the opportunity to take hourlong walks alongside the rhine and have the chance to either do sports, lay on the grass for a picknick or have a coffee/beer/snack with a view. Leave a Comment

Take a Rhine cruise. I went from Mainz to Koln, and the scenery along the war really is straight from a storybook. You can almost hear those Rhine maidens singing!q Leave a Comment

Take a relaxing & breathtaking moment to visit the river side ...

Take the picnic you've bought at the market along to thr riverside. There's many benches to sit on, and many people with similar ideas! Watch the traffic on the river and the aeroplanes heading for nearby Frankfurt International. Leave a Comment
