Part of the UNESCO World Heritage site "SchUM Cities of Speyer, Worms and Mainz," this cemetery has served as a final resting place since the 10th century. For safety reasons, the interior of the historic burial ground is generally closed to the public. However, the site is visually accessible from along the perimeter fence, and the lower section offers an overview of the gravestones. Guided tours providing deeper insight into its history are available and must be booked in advance via the official city website.

Christ Church
Built between 1896 and 1903 in Renaissance Revival style, this Protestant church features a massive dome designed as a counterbalance to the Catholic cathedral. Guided tours, including the tower, are available by appointment, though tower access is closed from March to mid-August to protect nesting peregrine falcons. The church offers a special visitor program on the Open Heritage Day (Tag des offenen Denkmals), held annually on the second Sunday of September.
State Museum Mainz
The Department of Antiquities traces the cultural history of the Rhineland from prehistory to the present.
A few years ago, when a shopping centre now named Römerpassage ("Roman Shopping Way") was built, the construction workers found the remnants of what used to be a temple in the Roman city of Mainz. So, nowadays, you can visit this site inside the shopping centre. It's surrounded by a quite interesting exhibition about the religious purpose of the Isis site.
Museum of Archaeology
The former Roman-Germanic Central Museum.
Electoral Palace
The former city residence of the Archbishops of Mainz, this building is a notable example of German Renaissance architecture. Following extensive destruction during World War II, the exterior was reconstructed. While the palace is primarily an administrative and event venue and not open for general public interior tours, its historic façade and the surrounding grounds are visible from the outside.
