I love open air farmer's markets. In most larger towns across Europe there will be some form of…read moreoutdoor market. The market in Mainz happens to be one of the best in the region. Seeing all the colors of fresh produce and flowers as well as the fresh baked items sold throughout the market will leave a positive impression on your day. You can't help being happy from the experience. If I could only live there, I would eat healthier, drink better wine and enjoy what the region has to offer. It would become part of my weekly journey through life.

Definitely worth a visit when you are in Mainz! There are food vendors (selling cheese, honey,…read morelocal wine, vegetables, etc.) and restaurants (we ended up with fried fish and potato salad--heavy but delicious!), plus a few cafes and a weekly wine tasting (which looked fun but we didn't join this time), all in the shadow of the beautiful cathedral. This is the place to be seen on Saturdays!

This is a great twice-weekly farmers market. There are lots of choices beyond just produce, cheese,…read moremeats, flowers, etc. I would have given it five stars if it focused more on local. I'm pretty sure the grapes and oranges are not locally sources this time of year. You have to hand it to them, this is a sweet location!

I was here with my husband on the 12th of December. Very excited to see the xmas market that some…read morepeople call "the most magical," the xmas twinkling star market of Wiesbaden. After purchasing the obligatory gluwein, my husband and I started our 2 hour march along the stalls. Having studied in this region 37 years ago, I was looking for the black forest wooden goods. I found them in a walk-in store! I was so excited as I have not seen these in all markets down last year's Danube trip and this year's markets north of Wiesbaden on the Rhine. I entered and my empty wine mug was spotted by the lady with pink vest and black hair, she wanted me to leave. I did and threw it out in a bin nearby. I went back in and the lady asked me to put my backpack in front, I did. But your German persistence ruined the push to buy your goods! I could have lingered for hours in this store! I am disable with my knee right now and constant dinging just took my childhood wonder in to the .........! Thank you for ruining an otherwise magical experience for an American in Germany at Xmas!!!
