This place is extremely photogenic. You wouldn't know it necessarily until you see the pics and realize how well it photographs. Extremely beautiful.

A lovely cathedral in the centre of Mainz close to the Guttenberg Museum, with a market often held close by. Of interest to British visitors is the fact that it was founded by Saint Boniface who lived from 675 to 754 and came from Crediton in Devon. There is a statue of St Boniface outside the Cathedral in typical religious robes, but a statue of a much more realistic interpretation of how he might have looked has recently been placed inside. The reddish stone building itself is monumental, giving it a very solid appearance, almost as if it will last forever. Despite this it has suffered through the ages as a result of wars, fires and general neglect, however it has been well restored and much of its interior has been retained. Although much of the interior decoration and statues has been removed over the years, much still remains, including many magnificent statues and sculpures of the over 40 archbishops buried in the Cathedral. There are 1000 year old bronze doors leading to the Market Place. The cloisters are well woth a visit, as is the museum which houses some of the older statues and stonework that has been saved. It is also a very peaceful place, just to be quiet and think.

The dom and surrounding area is nice for sitting, if your time allows them I highly recommend visiting at the corner the Gutenberg museum, it is a very important and nicely presented about the history of printing.

Beautiful architecture here. Choir is spectacular at Sunday's mass. Definitely worth a look and visit.
