Pri Tonetu: Hearty South Styrian Food
lotharlerch Says: We did not notice that the night before was the shift to Summer Time so we dropped in at 3 PM which was indeed 4 PM but even at this really unusual "lunchtime" we got a gorgeous meal in local style. We had only one course but that was already more than we usually can eat....
Kitajski Vrt: If you feel the wish to eat with chopsticks
lotharlerch Says: The fact that in such a small and rather remote place a Chinese restaurant can exist shows that Slovenia is already quite a prosperous country. The Slovenian name of the restaurant simply means Chinese Host - the Slovenian word "Vrt" comes obviously from the German word...
succccccubus Says: If you are in Ptuj, you should try Haloška gibanica, a traditional dessert, made of cheese. (If you are in Prekmurje (Murska Sobota), try Prekmurska gibanica, a dessert with the same name, but with totally different ingredients).
succccccubus Says: Ptuj is truly a wine town of antiquity, with over 8 centuries of proud winemaking history. Its mixture of a gentle continental climate and the rich terroirs of the Haloze and Slovenske gorice regions meant that the land was ideally suited to the vine. The Romans hedonistic...
Cafe Europa pub: Dancing all night long
succccccubus Says: The Cafe Europa pub is situated in the centre of town in front of the Town Hall. Mostly the young get together at this pub on Friday and Saturday evenings to listen to music, dance and enjoy themselves until the early hours (it is closed at 4 o'clock).

succccccubus Says: If you are not travelling by car, the best way to Ptuj is by train. It is also the easiest way if you are going from Hungary to Ljubljana (or vice versa) - you can make a little stop in Ptuj. If you are going from Ljubljana to Ptuj in takes 2 hours by train and it is an...
succccccubus Says: Since 1960, Ptuj has been the stage for the annual traditional carnival event called Kurentovanje, the biggest organised carnival event in Slovenia. The membership in the Federation of European Carnival Cities (FECC) since 1991, has without any doubt helped the Ptuj carnival...

Not really a danger, but anyway ...
succccccubus Says: If you want to feel Ptuj and everyday life of locals don't visit it on Sunday - everything is closed, locals are at home, so the town looks boring. But if you want to discover Ptuj's streets in peace or go to spa, then Sunday is the right day for you.
succccccubus Says: The today manor stands on the site of a former smaller one, which stood there probably already in the Middle Ages and belonged to the Lords of Ptuj, the Herbersteins and the Sauers. In 1730 the entire property was bought by the Count Dizma Attems who had it thoroughly...

This is a small town in Slovenia, about 26 kms. south of Maribor (Slovenia) and 61 kms. north of Varzadin (Croatia), and I was lucky to visit it, more places to see than you can imagine.
