Fodor's Expert Review Marktplatz

 The pedestrianized Marktplatz (market place), situated on the north side of the cathedral, is especially colorful on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday from 7 am to 2 pm, when farmers, butchers, cheesemongers, and florists set up stands to sell their produce. On Saturdays from March to November, join friendly Mainzers in the adjoining Liebfrauenplatz for the legendary Marktfrühstuck (Market Breakfast), where you can sample local wines alongside a traditional local breakfast of Fleischwurst (German bologna sausage) with mustard and a crusty bread roll.
