Rhine Promenade, Mainz
Rheinufer
A riverside promenade stretching several kilometers along the left bank of the Rhine, with lawns, beer gardens and café seating overlooking the water, the city's living room on summer evenings.
Mainz's Rhine riverfront extends south from the Electoral Palace area, passing Fischtor Square and the Holzturm to the area of the Museum of Ancient Seafaring. Along the way are lawns, benches, summer beach bars and boat landings. Across the river lie Mainz-Kastel and the mouth of the Main. From here, you can take a river cruise along the Rhine to Rüdesheim and the Rhine Gorge. The view of the river at sunset is especially beautiful in the evening. Open all day, free of charge. Summer weekends are crowded, and there are plenty of cyclists.
