Maribor

Maribor is nestled between sunny hills dotted with vineyards and the lush Pohorje Mountains, with the Drava River flowing through the city. Its extraordinary location is reflected in unique natural landmarks and other attractions of Slovenia’s second largest city. The symbol of the city and destination is definitely the oldest vine in the world, which has been growing for more than 450 years and still bearing grapes. Learn about her incredible story of perseverance at The Museum of the World’s Oldest Grapevine.

The green backdrop of the city comes from a city park and three hills: Piramida, Mestni Vrh, and Kalvarija. Right next to the city, the 1,543-meter-high natural oasis of Pohorje offers opportunities for an active vacation in both winter and summer. The lively and relaxed city on the Drava River hosts Slovenia’s largest outdoor summer festival, the traditional Lent Festival.

Maribor’s culinary scene does not disappoint, from nearby tourist farms offering homemade and organic food to renowned Maribor chefs. You can meet them at the ‘Rock’n’roll of tastes’ experience, where chefs, top winemakers, and musicians come together. A crazy Maribor mix of food, wine and rock’n’roll music.
