Mainz is one of a handful of German cities with a history reaching far into antiquity. Founded by the Romans at the time of Jesus, it was the region's strongest military garrison and largest city. During the Middle Ages, the city was one of the most powerful political entities in the Holy Roman Empire, and the Archbishops of Mainz Christianized the North and Elected the Emperor himself.
Today, the soaring spires of Mainz Cathedral and the resplendent palaces of the Bishops and their Court mark the legacy of this power. This tour will take you through the old town of Mainz on the trail of its Bishops from Roman Ruins, Churches, Palaces, and Half-timbered houses.
