I saw from the other website said I should get off at Mainz Romisches Theater because it is closer to Mainz Center. When I look at the google map. There is the caution for walking like "This route may be missing sidewalks or pedestrian paths." Is it safe to walk from Train station to Mainz Catherdal? I will be alone and arrive there around 8 AM. I plan to walk from Train station to there . Any suggestion?
I would like to try Schweinshaxe for lunch in Mainz. Are there any restaurant serve Schweinshaxe before 10.30 or 11 AM?
Thank you for suggestion and comment.
Mainz-Roemisches Theater is a 23-minute trip from Frankfurt Airport on the S-Bahn (local, fast commuter train). Tickets can not be bought in advance, only from a ticket machine in the station. The same applies to the trip back to the airport. Generally these tickets must be used on the next train.
Schweinshaxe is more a Bavarian dish, and you might have difficulties finding it in Mainz, but you may just be lucky. I would ask in the information(/tourist?) office in Mainz. It would be a main midday dish, so 10:30 is a bit early.
