The Mainz Rhine promenade is a popular place for everyone who wants to enjoy the view of the Rhine, nature, and wine. Along the riverbank, green lawns, wide walking paths, playgrounds, and cozy seating areas invite you to experience the river in a relaxed or active way.
At the Adenauer and Stresemann banks, you will find a diverse gastronomy: The Mainz beach brings vacation vibes in the summer with sand, sun loungers, and drinks. Very close to the old town, N’Eis am Rhein, the Hafenbar beer garden at the Malakoff Passage, and Burgerheart invite you to indulge. Further south at the Winterhafen, the stylish Mole beer garden & summer lounge tempts you with a view of the boats. The gastro scene is also developing further in the Zollhafen, with new concepts right by the water.
Seasonal highlights include the Wine Ufer, the Johannisnacht, and the Mainz Rhine Spring – atmospheric festivals with wine, music, and a Rhine panorama. A popular classic is the market breakfast at Fischtorplatz: sociable, regional, and right by the water. Those who want to be more active can enjoy guided raft trips, stand-up paddling, or boat trips into the romantic Middle Rhine Valley.
The promenade is centrally located and well connected: you can easily get there on foot, by bike, or by bus. If you are traveling by car, it is best to use the Rathaus/Rheingoldhalle parking garage or the Malakoff Passage underground garage.
