Mainz is a German city on the Rhine River. It’s known for its old town, with half-timbered houses and medieval market squares. In the center, the Marktbrunnen is a Renaissance fountain with red columns. Nearby, a distinctive octagonal tower tops the Romanesque Mainz Cathedral, built of deep red sandstone. The Gutenberg Museum honors the inventor of the printing press with exhibits, including 2 of his original bibles.

Huge, busy Mitte is Berlin’s central borough, home to the Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island’s art institutions, as well as the striking Hauptbahnhof central train station and sprawling Tiergarten park. Elegant boulevards like Unter den Linden and squares like Gendarmenmarkt are known for their restored pre-war buildings, and the Hackescher Markt area has hip cafes and shops in a series of labyrinthine courtyards.
