Mainz Germany is a medium-sized Germany city (population 200,000)
located on the Rhine River. Because of its close proximity to
Frankfurt-am-Main and the Frankfurt
International Airport, many visitors begin their tour of the Rhine at Mainz.
The Frankfurt S-Bahn system (i.e. regional transit system) connects
Frankfurt's Hauptbanhof train station to Frankfurt airport and then on to the
Mainz train station (see below). A number of Rhine River cruises depart from Mainz and towns
north of Mainz (e.g. Bingen Germany)
