The city of Mainz is best known for its many incredibly well preserved historical sites. The Marktplatz (main square) is adjacent to the Mainzer Dom cathedral, a stunning example of Romanesque architecture from the 11th century. The main square is also lined by amazing old buildings constructed partially from timber. The square especially comes to life around Christmas, when you can enjoy the beautiful glow and atmosphere of the annual Christmas market. Another must-see on your trip to Mainz is the Gutenberg Museum, a tribute to the inventor whose inventions in printing contributed enormously to the distribution of knowledge to the masses. Here, you’ll find some of the original printing equipment and a model of his workshop. With so many things to do and see in Mainz, we’ve curated a list of great Airbnb vacation rentals for your stay.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on March 14, 2024.

7. Guesthouse near Taunus Forest (from USD 107)

This guest house is so beautifully furnished that you may never want to leave! Most of the house is in a tasteful white, with natural light streaming in from floor to ceiling windows. Exposed wood detailing and furniture give the house a warm, cozy touch. Another unique aspect of the house is its mini fireplace enclosed in a metal box, with a vent channeling smoke away in place of a chimney. In terms of location, the guest house is a little further from bustling downtown Mainz, but closer to the lovely Taunus forest. Come in the warmer months and you’ll hike amongst lush foliage, and in the winter months, enjoy a panoramic landscape blanketed in powdery snow.

11. Flat in Mainz

This cozy apartment accommodates 2 guests. Location wise, the apartment is only a stone’s throw from the nearest train station.

As the host cautions, the apartment is on the 4th floor in a storey of flats that has no elevator service, so be prepared to get a sweat on if you have a huge suitcase to lug up the stairs.
