Discover Mainz – A Unique Place to Study and Live!

In addition to its friendly and welcoming locals, Mainz offers everything you’d expect from Rhineland culture: a rich variety of leisure activities, lively pubs, the famous carnival (Fastnacht), wine, and music. At the same time, it benefits from all the advantages of the Rhine-Main region, including close proximity to major employers, easy access to Frankfurt Airport, excellent transportation links, and the breathtaking natural beauty of surrounding areas such as the Rheingau, Taunus, and Hunsrück.

With over 30,000 students from more than 120 countries, Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz is the fifth-largest university in Germany.
