Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Each time we walk through the city of Mainz we come here. There is always a nice atmosphere, at times various events, interesting people. You can see Mainz cathedral from here. Near the square runs the 50th parallel north. Gutenbergplatz connects to Schillerplatz with the Fastnachtsbrunnen (carnival fountain). The Gutenberg monument designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen is the centerpiece of the square .
Every self-guided walking tour of Mainz should include the Gutenbergplatz experience.

It is one of the squares that arise around the imposing cathedral, in the historic center. This square, named after the inventor of the press, is almost the continuation of the market square. Worth seeing are the facade of the nineteenth-century theater and the monument to Gutenberg himself. Also in this square there are also a fair number of bars and restaurants.

This is of course the square where the statue of Gutenberg can be found. But there is more to see. The theatre is across the square from the statue. In the paving you can see the 50th latitude line.
The 50th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 50 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses Europe, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, North America, and the Atlantic Ocean. At this latitude the sun is visible for 16 hours, 22 minutes during the summer solstice and 8 hours, 4 minutes during the winter solstice.
You will be in the square, just look out for the extras

This square is very nice, located one step away from the Market Square. It offers a quiet sideway where one can taste a delicious ice cream in front of the National Theatre. Out of curiosity: on the same square, a sign marks the 50th parallel of latitude.

Gutenbergplatz, located in the old town of Mainz, is a worthwhile sight in the city and definitely worth recommending from us!
