I am travelling to Mainz and want to take the K-D boat cruise north from Mainz. How far is the Mainz Haputbanhoff from the boat dock?

I will be purchasing a German Rail Pass and I can use it for travelling on the KD rhine river boats. Do I need to make reservations or will I just have to take
a chance that the boat will be full. How busy are the boats during July? According to Rick Steves there's no need to make reservations as the boats are never full.

I am traveling with 12 high school students to South Africa. We have a 12 hour layover in Frankfurt in April from 10:50 a.m. until 10:40 p.m.. We heard that Mainz would be a good day trip. Can anyone give me any information about traveling to/from the Frankfurt airport, getting around Mainz once we are there, and things to see/do? Can we get a tour or train tickets set up in advance? Is that even necessary? Thanks.

Hi there,

Im thinking of moving to Mainz this summer and was wondering what the job situation is like?
Im a native English speaker but Im currently learning German and by the time I go I will have another month of German learnt. I would still class my level as 'beginnger' though.
I have an IT degree but I am willing to do ANYTHING to earn a little bit of money. I am doing a TEFL teaching course as well so I will be qualified to teach English but does anyone have any other ideas of what to do, or sites where jobs in the Mainz area will be advertised?
Any information would be appreciated!!!

Thanks
Ben

Hello everyone,

I will be doing a day trip to Mainz and Wiesbaden from Frankfurt. I am considering the sensible sequence to do it, either Mainz first or Wiesbaden first. Any opinion? It means I will be having my lunch at one place and dinner at the other city. Can you recommend a nice and cheap place to eat in Mainz? How about night view/activity in Mainz? Any suggestion is most welcome. Thanks a lot!

Do all the trains between Frankfurt-Mainz-Cologne follow the Rhine River? If not I would like to know the one(s) that does.

Hello,
I am planning to break my journey in Germany on my way back from a business trip to the US from India. I thought I would spend a couple of days in Frankfurt and one day in Mainz. I also am planning to travel to Sweden from Frankfurt.
I was looking at the fares on Ryan air and they seemed very reasonable.
My questions are:

1) How far is it from Frankfurt Am Main to Mainz?
2) How do I get from Frankfurt Am Main to Mainz? cost by Cab?
3) How far is it from Mainz to Frankfurt Hahn?
4) how I get from Mainz to Frankfurt Hahn? cost by taxicab?
5) is Ryan Air a good airline to travel on?
6) is it easy to make last minute cancellations on Ryan Air?

Hello from Southern California! :) We are looking forward to our visit!

We will be traveling from Amsterdam to Frankfurt and, instead of going all the way to our hotel there, then coming back to Mainz; I was thinking it would make more sense to get off here, store our bags at the terminal then head off to the River for a cruise. That is if the ICE train stops here on the way to Frankfurt.

If so, is there a place where they can be stored safely? Or would it make more sense to get off before Mainz, at Koblenz for example, and take them on the boat with us? Is there storage for the luggage on the boats?

Thank you very much!

Mike
