The Old Town is also known for its well-preserved city walls and towers, which recall its medieval past. Particularly noteworthy is the church tower of St. Stephan's Church, decorated with its famous Chagall stained-glass windows, creating a special atmosphere. Also nearby is Augustinerstraße, one of the oldest streets in Mainz, which is home to many historic buildings and small shops.

The Old Town is a lively place where history and modern life intertwine. In summer, the area is often full of street performers, musicians, and street festivals, creating a good atmosphere. The famous Weinhaus (wine house) in the Old Town offers a wide selection of regional wines and is a popular meeting place.

The narrow streets invite you to linger, and you'll always discover hidden squares and small cafés. The Old Town is also an important site for Mainz's Jewish history, with the synagogue now a museum. Many of the old buildings are decorated with ornate facades displaying the craftsmanship of bygone times. The proximity to the Rhine also makes the old town an ideal starting point for boat trips or walks along the river.
