Maribor

About

Tucked in between wine-growing hills and the Pohorje Mountains, Maribor is the second largest city in Slovenia and the capital of region Štajerska (Slovenian Styria). In its center grows the oldest vine in the world (over 450 years). Stop by the Old Vine House, a temple of wine tradition and culture, for viticulture exhibitions and excellent wines. Just north of the river Drava, wander the Old Town to enjoy the charming historic architecture and monuments like Castle Square (Grajski Trg), the Main Square (Glavni trg), the Maribor Cathedral (with observation tower), the Maribor Synagogue, as well as art galleries and theaters.
