In a nutshell
Worth exploring
picek Says: The main information centre forEuropean Capital of Culture (ECOC) is located in a red and black box, a little by the side on new Leon Stukelj square. Go there if you need information on program as well as Maribor and its partners in the project. Go there also to see rotating...
picek Says: Few months before official beginning of European Capital of Culture project, Maribor got new urban living room in 2011 - large square devoted to legendary Olympic medal winner Leon Stukelj who was one of town's most renowned residents. It was built on former segmented...
picek Says: It borders to city centre and it is the biggest park in Maribor - the city park, also known as park by three ponds: three small and middle sized fishponds lay at its remotest edges, below Kalvarija and Piramida hills and surrounded by forest. These (the ponds) are of newer...
christine.j Says: Another sight the guide books mention is the Maribor castle. However, it is closed for the public since it's being renovated. I suppose to clean it up for the events next year, when Maribor is the European Capital of Culture .We were not able to go inside and we couldn't...
1 Review and 19 Opinions I would go back to Slovenia just to stay here again and visit with Nina and Andrej. I have never...
Boat Café Dravska Vila: To drink or to eat?
christine.j Says: We had hoped to do a boat trip on the Drava in the tourist boat Dravska Vila. When we asked in the tourist information if the November schedule was valid, we were told to go to the boat and ask. If there were no tours, we could still have a coffee there. That's what we did....
christine.j Says: Already before our trip we were asked if we wanted to go and try green beer in Maribor. Green beer?? We decided to be brave and went to have dinner and green beer in the Stajerc restaurant right in the centre of Maribor.The beer is really green, bright green, and was very...
Pri Florjanu: Slovenian desserts
christine.j Says: I wanted to taste some Slovenian food and asked the friendly staff at the reception of our hotel. Three restaurants were recommended, the Rozmarin, the Pri Treh Ribnikih and the Pri Florjanu. The Rozmarin turned to be too expensive for us - the tourist information office...
croisbeauty Says: Rafts and punts tied up at the landing stage at Maribor, which they callend Lent. Prior to the renovations in the eighties it has been one of the most neglected parts of the city. There are lots of pubs, clubs, and coffee houses in this part of the city now. Anuything you...
KGB: another great basement in Lent
picek Says: ... well, KGB is a short name for 'kulturno glasbeni brlog' or 'cultural and music den', so any simmilarity with Russian secret police is excluded. Although their occasional 'undreground' activites maybe go to someone's nerves when they hold sociology lectures.Nevermind!...
Arriving by car: Get the vignette
christine.j Says: As it tourned out, we went by car and had to get the Austrian toll sticker and the Slovenian one. The Austrain one can be bought at many gas stations along the motorway to Austria ( ten days for 7,90), the Slovenian one only at some. Even in Graz , where the border to...
christine.j Says: Since up until the very last minute we had planned to go by train, I can tell you about the train tickets: There is a special from Germany to Slovenia, but the route to Maribor involves two changes, in Bischofshofen and Graz. We only had a short time in Bischofshofen between...
christine.j Says: I wanted to get some more water and was looking for a grocery store, when my daughter said I had just passed one. I turned around and still didn't see it. This was on Glavni square with the city hall, the plague memorial, so a very busy place and still I couldn't see any...
Farmer's local market: Fruit,vegetables and more
oriettaIT Says: The farmers market in Maribor is great! It is located in a big area in the Lent, the stands are under some big awnings and they have a good selection of fruits, vegetables, fresh mushrooms and local crafts. All the farmers pile up their products nicely so it is not just good...
picek Says: Instead of too many commercial boards, there is a set of book titles now illuminating few of town's neuralgic points - and pehaps you'll notice at least one by train station behind Kidric monument, in a park accross the busy road and a few other ones reflecting in the river...
croisbeauty Says: Slovensko Narodno Gledalisce, The Slovene National Theatre of Maribor, is situated on the Slomškov trg. First theatre in Maribor dates from 1785 but in times it become to small and the city authorities made decision to built the bigger and more spacious theatre. The...
christine.j Says: This was one of my favourite things to eat in Maribor - the roasted chestnuts. I love eating them in late autumn, early winter and in Maribor they were stalls selling them everywhere.Getting a bag of roasted chestnuts and eating them on a bench at the bank of the river Drawa...
croisbeauty Says: Maribor received town privileges in 1254. The City Hall was built in 1515 and remodeled in Renaissance style between 1563 and 1565. In the mid-19th century in was again renovated in th late Classical style, but was later restored to its original 16th century appearance. In...
picek Says: Surroundings of Maribor are rich with vineyards and forests, and wine here has excellent quality in abundance. You can take few or the routes, all are nice and scenic, but if you want some stunning views with Pohorje at the backdrop, take a ride towards Malečnik,...
Maribor In Your Pocket: highly recommended!
CatherineReichardt Says: I have HORSCHECK to thank for introducing me to the 'In Your Pocket' series of tour guides, which we first had the opportunity to 'road test' in Tallinn (when the hotel we stayed in provided a copy of Tallinn In Your Pocket in each room).For my money, it's a much more useful...
oriettaIT Says: The Lent is the most lively area of the city, if you are looking for nightlife, live music and nice caffee and pubs this the place for you.In the past few years they have been restoring several old buildings and it look nice and kind of "Boheme"
