Mainz Hotels

More than 40,000 students attend university in Mainz, which feels apropos when you consider that the city’s most famous native son is Johannes Gutenberg. The name of the innovative printer and publisher is ubiquitous in Mainz, from the Gutenberg Museum to indeed, the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz. While the university dates back to the late 15^th century, it is far from the only historic landmark in the former Free Imperial City of the Holy Roman Empire. Other important points of interest in Mainz include the State Museum, Collegiate Church of St. Stephan, Cathedral of St. Martin, Citadel and impressive Roman ruins. Significant events in the city range from the superlative Mainz Wine Market to the annual Carnival.
