Discover the lively atmosphere of Mainz with an insider and hear interesting stories instead of boring dates. Of course if dates are your thing, then I have a Ph.D. in History and won't leave you wanting!
Apart from the "Big 5" we will look at the little details that make living in Mainz so fascinating and that will allow you to experience the real German culture and way of life.
