Maribor: Attractions and more...
Extensive vineyards, which rise from the edge of town over the hills of Maribor, are interwoven with more than 50 kilometres of wine roads. These roads are sown with wine shops and tourist farms, which with their homemade wine and food entice ramblers, cyclists and friends of the iron horse.
Discovering Pohorje's primeval forest and pure waters offers an unforgettable
experience for ramblers as well as lovers of horse riding and cycling. Mariborians
are renowned as being good event organizers and hosts. Particularly pleasant
atmospheres are animated during special events; among the most resounding is
certainly the already traditional Golden Fox, a competition for the World Cup
in skiing for women as well as the international multicultural Festival Lent
and events within the frame of The Embrace of the Old Vine. The casino enriches
the nightlife in the city.
Stroll through the proud centre of northeastern Slovenia, the university city
of Maribor. Bearing witness to a flourishing history is the rich architecture
of past centuries, which reflect in the frontages of the houses. Maribor is
becoming a modern shopping place and one of the biggest tourist centres in the
country. Along the Drava River, your stroll will take you past numerous cafés
to the “Stara trta” grapevine in Lent, named as the oldest grapevine
in the world in the Guinness Book of World Records. Treat yourself to refreshment
and relaxation in gostilnas and wine cellars or to some food for the soul in
museums and art galleries and at numerous cultural events. Relax your body and
senses at the Habakuk Wellness and Spa Center or the Fontana Medical and Recreation
Center.
