Wochenmarkt Mainz Domplatz
Farmer's market
A big farmers' market in the Old Town. Some of the stands also sell fast food. One of them, a local fish farm's stand, has really good fish bread rolls. You can also buy really good plums (they are locally grown around Mainz), sometimes the price gets especially cheap after 13:00 when the vendors want to get rid of their rests.

Gutenberg Museum
There are reconstructions of print shops and Gutenberg's hand press, an exhibition of incunabula, and the first two Gutenberg bibles are on display in a strong room. They also have a section devoted to the Far East with colored woodcarvings and prints from Japan, China and Korea. There is even an exhibition on the electronic future of books. Most displays have an English translation. You can purchase a guide in several different languages with your admission. Every hour or so, someone demonstrates how Gutenberg`s hand press works by printing a bible page on a replica of the press. Watching this demonstration is included in the entry fee.

River Banks
Stretching from the Zollhafen in the north to the Winterhafen in the south, the Rhine promenade is the city's primary outdoor leisure area. In the summer months, the banks transform into a vibrant social hub featuring beach clubs, beer gardens, and scenic walking paths. It is a popular destination for evening strolls, after-work drinks, and enjoying panoramic views of the river.
