Mainz am Rhein aka the city of Knowledge, is a vibrant city by the Rhine that decided to put me and my community of friends and followers to the test with Destination Challenges.
I got 5 little tasks to solve and they took me all around the city...
1 Walk of Fame
Mainz is a city known for Cabaret and they have a walk of Fame where I had to find 3 famous Cabaretiers. You can find it right by the Proviant Magazin: https://goo.gl/maps/JVdmnfQVSbH22. Blue and Red street name signs
I had to figure out why some street name signs were blue and others red. I learned from a local that the blue ones go parallel with the river Rhine and the red ones go towards the river.3. Kalte Loch
My 3rd task was to figure out where I could find the 'Kalte Loch'. Now apparently it's a little alley which is known to be drafty just by the cathedral. A local walked me all the way there. Friendly people here in Mainz!4. Mainz Cathedral
You find this wonderful cathedral in the heart of the old town. The red stone makes it stand out.Find the Mainz Cathedral here: https://goo.gl/maps/HCfovgNDgHG2
5. Gutenberg Museum
Mainz is known as the 'City of Knowledge' and that's mainly because Mainz was home to Gutenberg the inventor of the first mechanical book print press. His invention sparked a knowledge revolution around Europe and the world.
