Mainz Audio Tour: Cathedrals, Cabaret & Curious Corners of Altstadt
Beneath Mainz’s cobblestone streets lies a secret temple where ancient gods once demanded silence—and sometimes blood. The city is far more than timbered houses and cathedral spires. With this self-guided audio tour, uncover the astonishing tales embedded in Mainz-Altstadt’s heart—stories that even lifelong locals often overlook. Who left desperate messages scrawled on the walls of the Sanctuary of Isis and Mater Magna before disaster struck? Why did flames in St. Johannis Cathedral’s crypt trigger a political upheaval that shook centuries of power? What relic rests hidden behind an altar, supposedly protected by a cat’s curse? Move through shadowy corners and bustling squares. Stand where emperors plotted and rebels conspired. Each step winds deeper into a city layered with ambition, desire, and the untold. Dare to explore Mainz as only the bold can: by following its whispers back in time. Your journey begins now.
