Driving on the right-hand side might seem unusual. It's the norm in Germany unlike in the UK! Keep in mind that the driver's seat and controls are found on the left-hand side.

Parking

Mainz is dotted with ample parking spots. For cost and convenience, city parking "Park and Ride" (P&R) offers the best bet. The Augustusplatz and Münsterplatz parking garages are located in the city centre.

Your Ideal Rental Car

Travelling solo or with company? For city cruises, opt for nimble compact cars. Exploring the scenic Rhine Valley asks for a comfortable sedan or a SUV for family adventures.

Local Traffic Rules

Unlike the UK, there are no toll roads in Germany. Seatbelts are mandatory for everyone, and hands-free devices are the only mode for phone conversations while driving.

Speed Limits

Urban Areas - 50 km/h
Outside urban areas - 100 km/h
Autobahns (Motorways) - 130 km/h (advisory speed limit)

Must-visit attractions

Impressive Mainz Cathedral, Gutenberg Museum housing the history of printing, delightful local wineries and taverns to try the famous Riesling - plenty of treats for your tour!

Neighbourhoods and Surroundings

Discover the charm of the old town, the trendy Neustadt district, and make day trips to nearby Frankfurt, Wiesbaden and the UNESCO World Heritage upper-middle Rhine Valley.

Climate and best time to visit

Watch the city bloom in Spring (Mar-May) or join the wine lovers in Autumn (Sept-Nov). German Fasching (Carnival) in early Spring is not to be missed!

Mainz Finsterwalde Airport and Transport

Just 30 minutes away from the city centre, you can hire your car from Mainz Finsterwalde Airport. The city also boasts well-organised public transportation if you decide to take a break from driving.

We hope you found this guide helpful. Looking forward to hosting your adventures in Mainz!
