Ptuj

Towns

Ptuj is the oldest city in Slovenia; it obtained town rights in 977. It has survived the centuries well, and the visitor will find its historic centre filled with beautiful sights and monuments.

The castle, the Dominican and Minorite monasteries, the Provost Church, the old City Hall, the patrician houses, numerous marvelously carved doors, wrought iron window grills, and stonecutting details are some of the most important attractions.

Maribor

Towns

Maribor is the second-largest city in Slovenia. Maribor lies on the river Drava at the meeting point of the Pohorje mountain, the Drava valley, the Drava plain, and the Kozjak and Slovenske gorice hill ranges.

Maribor is quite a small town, so it's easy to get around by feet. There is an extensive bus network as well though there is no need to use it unless you want to go to the outer districts of Maribor. On the left bank of the Drava, one can stroll along Lent, a lovely section of Maribor that comes alive every summer for Festival Lent, an interesting music and cultural festival with hundreds of artists.
