One of my favorite things to do in a city is take a walk with a loosely based plan just to see what I find….architecture, sculpture, landscapes, places to eat…
Mainz is a quaint city, with old world charm and impressive architecture. During World War II eighty percent of the buildings in Mainz were destroyed by allied bombings, however, many remain, some dating back to the 12th century and medieval times, and the new construction has been designed to compliment the existing.
Sunday is a wonderful day to meander thru Mainz as most businesses are closed and there is not much traffic navigating the streets. Taking in the allure of the city on an uncrowded sidewalk allows for full appreciation of the artistry of the city.
If loosely wandering is not to your liking, try downloading a walking tour app such as GPSmyCity which allows you to choose many different walking tours or even customize your own. But even when trying out a structured tour, keep yourself open to other things you may discover, as there are many…
Things you might encounter near your hotel…
Things you might encounter while on your way to other places…
Things you might encounter while lost…and sometimes those are the best!
Next time in a new city or even one you are familiar with, take the time to slow down…look up…look down…look all around. Take in everything around you!
