Built on the site of a Roman citadel where the River Main meets, Mainz has long been an important center of commerce, especially in wine. The city was heavily bombed during World War II, and much of the city has been repaired or rebuilt since. Although the magnificent Old Town is cobbled to make people think that the Romanesque cathedral and some Roman ruins are still intact, Mainz is actually a modern city and not particularly beautiful. But what Mainz lacks in looks, it makes up for in character: being Germany's wine capital and a vibrant university town. The capital of the Rheinland-Palatinate is known for its warm, friendly locals who gather in pubs or at festivals, at the Mainz 05 football stadium and during Karneval, throughout the city. , to have a good time.
