Every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday from 7 AM to 2 PM, the Cathedral Square in Mainz comes alive with color and activity. The Mainz weekly market – one of the most beautiful in all of Germany – invites shoppers to browse and enjoy a unique atmosphere. The combination of historic backdrop and regional diversity makes the market a popular meeting place for locals and visitors alike.
The offerings range from fresh fruits and vegetables from the region to bread, cheese, and meat products, as well as fine delicacies. During the high season, the selection is expanded by 20 to 30 additional daily stands, ensuring that seasonal specialties like asparagus, strawberries, or grapes also have a regular place.
Mainzer Market Breakfast – Enjoyment in a Social Setting
A special experience is offered by the Mainz Market Breakfast, which takes place on Saturdays from March to November. In a relaxed atmosphere, visitors can enjoy “rolls, sausage, and wine” and taste wines from local Mainz winemakers. Due to construction work, the Market Breakfast will not take place at Liebfrauenplatz until approximately 2030. Instead, it will be offered each time from 9 AM to 3 PM at changing locations in close proximity to the weekly market:
Leichhof: Enjoy wine with a view of the cathedral, complemented by the culinary offerings of the surrounding gastronomy.
Tritonplatz: Centrally located near the Mainz theaters, with wine and food from the market stalls at Gutenbergplatz.
Fischtorplatz (March–October): Market breakfast with a view of the Rhine and a maritime flair.
Accessibility & Services
The Mainz weekly market is centrally located and easily accessible for wheelchair users. Event restrooms are available at Bischofsplatz, and additional public restrooms can be found on Badergasse/Augustinerstraße, at Adenauer-Ufer, as well as near the State Theater.
Experience the Mainz weekly market and discover the joie de vivre of the city in all its facets.
