Mainz
Mainz has a lot to offer and is much more than just the state capital of Rhineland-Palatinate. There is something to experience here at all times of the year: Whether enjoying a glass of wine by the Rhine on a balmy summer evening or taking to the streets to celebrate carnival – everyone will find the right event in beautiful Mainz.
Every year, the Mainz Christmas market shines with over a hundred festively decorated stalls in front of the 1000-year-old St Martin’s Cathedral. There is also a festive stage programme and numerous concerts. Special Christmas attractions include the traditional fairytale performance in the Mainz State Theatre, the popular Christmas card printing in the Gutenberg Museum’s print shop and the large, brightly lit pyramid with Mainz figures at the entrance of the Christmas market.
The Must-sees of the trip
- “Mainzer WinterZeit” market on Schillerplatz The “Mainzer WinterZeit” market on Schillerplatz is one of the most popular Christmas markets in the city.

Mainz Christmas Market
Glittering lights in the shadow of the cathedral!
This is how atmospheric Christmas time is in Mainz: In front of the 1000-year-old St Martin’s Cathedral, the Mainz Christmas market shines with festively decorated stalls and a romantic Christmas village on Liebfrauenplatz.
Carousels and handmade toys make children’s hearts beat faster on the cathedral squares.
The eleven-metre-high, richly decorated Christmas pyramid enchants visitors directly at the Höfchen, the main entrance to the market. Just a few steps further on, the hand-carved, life-size nativity figures in front of the Gotthard Chapel of St Martin’s Cathedral are very impressive. At the lower entrance of the market, 18 hand-carved angel figures turn their rounds on the roof of the nine-metre-high clock.
Christmas all-inclusive evening cruise
In a festive Christmas atmosphere, we warmly welcome you on board our smart saloon ship MS Godesburg in Mainz.
After last year’s successes, you can spend a special evening on the water with family, friends or colleagues this Advent and feast and savour to your heart’s content as part of our all-inclusive evening cruises. During the 2.5-hour boat trip, the panoramic view of the Gutenberg and media city illuminated for Christmas is captivating. This could also be a great idea for your next Christmas party. We will be happy to reserve a table for your group. After a sumptuous starter platter, you can choose your main course and dessert from our buffet. Drinks are served at your table – from red, white and rosé wine to beer and soft drinks, everything is included in the price.
Christmas (flea) market
On the first day of Advent, we would like to invite you to a Christmas version of our flea market! Together, we are taking a stand against fast fashion and overconsumption, which is so prevalent in the pre-Christmas time. So how about some second-hand gifts?
There will be a colourful supporting programme around the flea market stands with craft activities, music, waffles, hearty treats and, of course, mulled wine and punch. We look forward to your visit! We are happy to welcome all sellers who want to tidy up their homes. Whether clothes, jewellery, shoes, interiors, books, vintage items or plants – the main thing is that there are no new goods!
