The Mainz Rhine Promenade is a popular meeting place for everyone who loves water, wide views, and wine. Along the banks, green lawns, wide paths, playgrounds, and relaxed seating invite you to enjoy the Rhine to the fullest – either actively or leisurely.
Culinary delights right by the river
Around the Adenauer and Stresemann banks, you'll find a colorful variety of eateries: Mainzstrand offers a summery vibe with sand, lounge chairs, and drinks. Close to the old town, N’Eis am Rhein, the Hafenbar Biergarten at Malakoff Passage, and Burgerheart invite you to indulge. Further south, at the Winterhafen, the stylish Mole Biergarten & Sommerlounge await you with views of the boats. The culinary scene is also growing in Zollhafen – with new concepts right by the water.
Festivals, market breakfasts & leisure fun
Seasonal highlights include the WeinUfer, the Johannisnacht, and the Mainz Rhine Spring – atmospheric festivals with wine, music, and views of the Rhine. A fixed event for many is the popular market breakfast at Fischtorplatz – sociable, regional, and right by the river. Those who want to experience the Rhine actively can look forward to guided raft trips or stand-up paddling. Rhine boat trips to the romantic Middle Rhine Valley also regularly start from Mainz.
Easy to reach
The promenade is centrally located and well connected: By bike, by bus, or on foot – you can easily get anywhere. If you're traveling by car, it's best to use the parking garage Rathaus/Rheingoldhalle or the underground car park at Malakoff Passage.
