Mainz, Germany 🇩🇪 | A Serendipitous Escape

Life happens between coffee breaks and cathedral visits." ☕ A Week of Wandering After a work training week in Munich (with just enough time for pretzels and palace glimpses 🥨🏰), I detoured to Mainz—a riverside town where time slows down. ✨ Mainz Magic 1️⃣ Café Konditorei Ebert Est. 1809—sipped hot chocolate where Goethe might have! Pro tip: Their Apfelstrudel comes with a side of cathedral views 🍰⛪ 2️⃣ St. Stephan's Blue Wonder The "Klein Blue" stained glass church (by Marc Chagall) When sunlight hits, the whole nave glows ethereal azure 🔵✨ 3️⃣ Rhine Reverie Watched cargo ships glide by like floating castles 🚢 Found vineyard trails with postcard-perfect town vistas 🤍 Why Mainz? No tourist crowds, just locals biking to bakeries 🚴♀️ 15th-century charm with 21st-century cafés That sweet spot between "cozy" and "culturally rich" 🚆 Getting There From Frankfurt: 30 mins by train (€9) From Munich: 3 hrs via ICE (use Deutschlandticket) #GermanyDiaries #StudyAbroadLife #HiddenGemCities #SlowTravel 🌍💙
