Spring is coming and it’s time to visit Mainz - the beautiful capital of the state Rheinland-Pfalz.
With it’s gorgeous old town and the romanesque cathedral Mainz is worth a trip for the looks alone but it was also the birthplace of one of the most revolutionary inventions of all time: the printing press. Johannes Gutenberg changed the world with his printing machine and you can hear all about it in the museum (you’ll also get to see a demonstration of an actual antique printing press).
If books and printing isn’t your thing then the „Fastnachtmuseum“ might be for you. You can learn all about the German tradition of „Fastnacht“ or „Karneval“ and why it is so important to the region.
To join this trip you will need to buy a train ticket in advance. We recommend buying a „Rheinland-Pfalz“ ticket which has an open return all day. The ticket costs 25€ if you travel alone but it is very cheap to add up to 4 people. For example: If you book the ticket for 5 people (max. capacity) it costs 49€ which is only 9,80€ per person.
There are multiple other options for tickets to (especially for Bahncard 25 / 50 holders). You can buy them via DB App, Trainline App or ticket machines at the train stations.
The entry to the museum is 3€ per person (for students).
