It is about 40 minutes away from Frankfurt and Mannheim Central Stations. Both have direct, frequent connections to many destinations in Germany, as well as to France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic. We recommend downloading the DB Navigator app. Through this app, you can buy tickets and check connections to and from Mainz.
Arriving at Mainz Central Station
The square in front of the central station has many bus and tram platforms and can therefore be a little bit hard to orient yourself. You can find an interactive map with all platforms and the available bus and tram lines here. This might be especially relevant to you if you want to go by bus to the Workshop venue, which otherwise would be a 20-minute walk. The closest bus stop to the venue is "Mainz Höfchen". You can also use the DB Navigator app to check for bus connections. The App also tells you from which platform the bus departs.
