    Here you can walk along the outer wall and have a nice view of Mainz and the citadel

      The citadel towers over Mainz and from here you have a wonderful view over the city.

        📝 High above the old town stands the Citadel, a baroque fortress dating back to the 17th century. Built on the Jakobsberg hill, it once served as a military stronghold for Mainz. Today, it's a place for culture, history, and events – with sweeping views over the city and partially accessible bastions.

        💡 Tip: Take a walk along the outside – the old walls and views are just as worthwhile as the interior.
