Located in the north, close to the Austrian border, Maribor is often overlooked by tourists and overshadowed by the capital, Ljubljana. But looking closely at its highlights, like its charming old town and its green surroundings with picturesque vineyards, one must conclude that Maribor is worth visiting.
Stroll along cobblestone streets and visit the colorful Glavni Trg square, marvel at historical and medieval buildings like the Maribor Castle, hike up the Piramida hill in the city park, and take a look at the oldest vine in the world that grows in the Old Vine House since the 17th century.
