This substantial portion of Slovenia is an undervalued part of the country, but it is something that should be considered adding to your travel list. Slovenia's Maribor is an hour and a half away from the easily accessible capital, Ljubljana.
Many tourists visiting Slovenia often head to the Bleeding Lake in place of Maribor, but the city does not blow the city away from many visitors. Despite Bled's popularity, Maribor is actually the second largest city in the country. And throughout the place there is the charm and beauty of the art of the living Renaissance, says the adventurous Miriam.
One place to visit in the city is the old grape home, home to one of the oldest grapes in the world.
The grapes date back more than 400 years ago and have won the Guinness World Records for being the oldest noble vine in the world, carrying grapes.
A visitor on Tripadvisor said: Both were great.
“A truly knowledgeable and friendly staff. The wine history of the Maribor region is very interesting and the old grape home is definitely worth a visit.”
Mariver is a mountain city with deep winemaking heritage, and the Drava River flows through it and creates a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the scenery.
Another must-see location is Pyramid Hill, offering stunning views of the city.
The visitors said: “On the top of the hill is a small chapel with a wish bell. On the right is the archaeological discoveries of the main castle.”
The reviewer said you can enjoy breathtaking views of the city.
If you're visiting the city, you should visit Mariball Park, known for its incredible greenery.
The bottom of the main park in Maribor is inserted into the urban fabric. There are wood burning streets, sculptures, lawns and spaces for summer weekend concerts.
Crazy tourists say they also have the opportunity to visit aquariums, home to over 120 freshwater and saltwater species, as well as terrariums, home to poison and other reptiles.
If you are planning to visit Slovenia, Mariver could be the perfect place to head for a short break.
