Maribor, Slovenia skyline: the 29 most iconic buildings and best views in Maribor

I enjoy the Lent area... probably one of the best places for a nice stroll along the river. It has a really nice atmosphere and some of the best bars and places to eat.

Really nice chilling area. There are some swans nearby too. There are different restaurants nearby. Really nice night view as well😊

Nice area on the Drava river. Terraces and restaurants available. Also street food available. Nice place to have a walk. Lovely view from the bridge.

We had a couple of cocktails, the place was nice and not very crowded, there were a lot of options in the menu. Nice view, too

Lent perfect place for all tourist visitors of Maribor, oldest vineyard of the world Stara trta and a lot of caffes... 💯😃😍

Beautiful promenade next to the Drava river. Take a nice walk there when going to Maribor, sit on a bench, experience a chill vibe and enjoy it fully. It has been renovated recently and there are a lot of different cafes where you can take a coffee break.

Oldest wine plant in the world. Look for it at the river side promenade. There is also a good shop with a wide wine selection.

Historic building, nice to walk around, not many tourists around, which it made it better!.

The castle is located in the centre, which has the great advantage of being almost entirely pedestrianised, and I really like that. We didn't get to the castle, which contains exhibitions of the archaeological and cultural history of the region, because we were there in the evening

There is a museums inside the castle and you can buy a ticket to take the tour. You could find a short history of the region and how Maribor developed, also there armours, uniforms, statues, paintings and also miniatures with tin figurines representing the Turkish assault of the Maribor Castle. Overall the experience is nice.

What a value for money! 5 euros (3 for students) for what I expected to be a small exhibition. It is a large museum offering a variety of collections (from the middle ages to paintings to statues) and the building itself is also nice inside and out. It is worth a visit.

Recently renovated on the outside, the inside museum is quite extensive and has some really great exhibits on the history of the city and the region. The main hall is incredible and some of the artwork is rest superb. 8 eur entry. Gift shop at the entrance has lots of Slovenian gifts. Highly recommend. Can spend an hour if you go quickly, more if you're reading everything in detail.

Maribor is truly a little gem of Slovenia that must absolutely be visited if you pass nearby! The city center is not all that big, indeed in two hours you visit it all, but it doesn't mean that is not beautiful, because it's completely the opposite indeed! An afternoon spent here is really worth it

A nice castle in the center of the city situated on a beautiful square, inside there is a regional museum. In front of the castle, you can have coffee and refreshments, there are also souvenir stands available. I recommend seeing this castle.

We almost always go here for a wine tasting whenever we are in town. Go take a stroll through the display room, before you decide what kind of wine tasting you want to have. They use a tiered approach, so you can have young wines, medium or aged wines or a mixed selection. After you've been to to display room, you can point out which ones you want to try and avoid having to go through any that won't be to your liking. Service personel is well trained and can help you out if you are not as experienced in the regional wines, so don't be shy and just ask for help when you need it.

Really wonderful place made better by the staff. Clement walked us through 8 wines we tasted and was as knowledgeable and pleasay as you can imagine. People come to take a picture of the oldest vine in the world. They should stay for the wine.

Tried orange wine for the first time in Maribor, Slovenia — a peaceful spot by the world’s oldest grapevine (over 400 years old). The wine was soft with a lovely floral aroma. I really enjoyed it! The area is accessible, but the cobblestone paths make it a bit tricky for wheelchair users.

If you love wine you must stop and enjoy the oldest grapevine in the world. The wine is excellent and the hosts are extremely knowledgeable.

Loved seeing the world’s oldest vine and the wine selection was excellent!

Very fine wine, good prices, beautiful location with the 400yo vine, extremely friendly and pretty waitress, cant complain. Its a must visit in Maribor

Very nice white wine to taste

Marietka gave us a really thoughtful and engaging tour of the beautifully preserved synagogue. She is very knowledgeable and shared so much about the history of Jewish life in the region it was very eye-opening. Even though Jews were expelled from Maribor back in medieval times, this space remains so important to remember and reclaim that history. We're really glad we stopped by.

Smal non active synagogue with reach history. Friendly staf who guide visitors. Because of it change of fiction there is always some topic related exibition. (ring to enter)

Nice experience

Well worth a visit. staff helpful and knowledgeable. Really interesting

Beautiful and peaceful place with an amazing history behind it. Entrance fee is very cheap and the guides tell the most exciting stories.

Must admit that I haven't been inside yet but there is a very nice view to river side from a platform beside synagogue. It's like a hidden spot in the town...

Not much to look at from the side facing the city, but spectacular when seen from the river bank.

Everything is made with love and creativity!! We learned a lot about the history and also some very interesting facts of Maribor. It was definitely worth it and we would recommend it to everyone who visits Maribor. There's just 3 word's to describe this museum, amazing, informative, beautiful.

A very interesting and beautiful building, located in a beautiful square. I haven't visited the museum internally so I can't review it

We learned some interesting facts about Maribor, also we got a staff member who accompanied us and explained every detail.

The museum has a variety of exhibitions that walk you through Maribor's history. Staff members are present at every exhibition and keen to guide you or answer your questions.

Wonderful museum about Maribor. Simon was a fantastic guide and curator. Must visit in Maribor

Interesting mix of exhibits from prehistoric to the modern day. Friendly, helpful staff to answer your questions. Worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) The Maribor Regional Museum is located in the middle of the old town and is a very impressive museum! The exhibition area is very nice and clearly laid out. You should plan enough time to visit the museum to really see everything! We will definitely go there a second time and be amazed! (Original) Das Regionalmuseum Maribor liegt mitten in der Altstadt und ist ein sehr beeindruckendes Museum! Der Ausstellungsbereich ist sehr schön und übersichtlich gestaltet. Man sollte sich genügend Zeit für den Museumsbesuch einplanen um auch wirklich alles zu sehen! Wir werden bestimmt ein zweites Mal dorthin gehen und staunen!

A good 20 min hike. Great view from the top.

In some areas it’s a steep walk to the top but overall a nice view of Maribor. There’s seats along the way to rest

Just a beautiful view over a beautiful city in a beautiful country.

Very good place for relaxing after a job.

Amateur hiking destination in town

Nice view on city for a short walk

A must for visitor and local alike.

It is located at the heart of main square in Maribor. Visually it looks very beautiful and nice. The bad thing is that people do not respect it and they rather sit and eat food and leave the garbage.

Maribor's old town is absolutely beautiful!

Cute town with friendly people, nice food, music in the streets and wine in glasses. It's easy to navigate and it's difficult to get lost. Definitely would like to come back to Maribor.

A very nice plague pillar in the center of the city. It is a historical monument to the past. The statue is renovated and the surroundings are nice and clean.

Nice little town, quiet and comfortable. This monument has information on signs that's worth a read.

Beautiful town, similar to Graz in Austria, but on a smaller scale. Very cheap hotels and restaurants.

Nice, but neglected. Needs to get restored - the sooner the better!

A great museum with a lot of small temporary exhibitions. The permanent exhibitions cover the period of WW2 and socialist Yugoslavia. They are quite informative with some unique exhibits. The temporary exhibitions covered some interesting topics: skateboarding, human influence on nature and sustainability, AI and critical thinking, historical ships.

Absolutely fascinating museum. We had never before heard of the forced removal and genocide of the native Slovenes by the occupying Nazis from Maribor and the surrounding areas (although, when one thinks about it, given that the Reich was only a few miles away, of course this was the fate of the locals). We left educated, but also moved and outraged. We also enjoyed the exhibitions on Maribor life before WW2, under occupation and then within Communist Yugoslavia, and had an interesting discussion with the museum curators. Overall, I recommend this museum strongly to anyone with an interest in history.

Amazing museum with a city tour guide.

I'm not a big of museum. It's not a very big museum. But yea you can find interesting. The guide explained about the history of maribor. There are material from work war. It wasn't any busy at all. We were the only one. So yea I mean it's a museum go if you want. The guide guy was cool tho. I played the piano there and my friends though It was not permissible so they got angry at me but when the guide asked if I wanted to continue my friend said it was him who played the piano🤣 Lol I just stayed quiet lol.

Interesting museum representing the history of Slovenia through different periods. You can spend there between hour and hour and a half

We have enjoyed the museum. However, don't expect to learn much about history of Maribor or Slovenia. We have learnt that Tito had a lot warm conversations with locals during his multiple visits to Maribor and that he was enthusiastically welcomed by locals. We have not learnt anything about his dictatorship or anything bad concerning him. It was almost like reading newspapers from that time. We have learnt about multiple names, dates and events from the 20th century of Maribor history. The museum seems to avoid difficult topics and we had to read Wikipedia to understand any broader context and the background of national conflicts between Germans and Slovenians. Please note that we did not have any guide. Most of the descriptions are in English but it is perfectly possible that we would have a completely different experience if we had booked a tour.

It was awesome. That guy who guided us was really passionate about history of Maribor and it was very very good tour. Thank you.

Something simultaneously grand and simple about the church, definitely worth a visit and a little quiet prayer. It's not the most ornate but it feels welcoming. The front altar of course is still impressive. Entry is free, donations are appreciated.

Middle or small size cathedral which is both simple and beautiful and grandiose. The clarity of the space and the good maintenance make it a peaceful place to rest

Really impressive! First church that allows you to go up, until the last step. The view is extremely impressive, the building also. Not many visitors, so you can spend more time and admire the location and the city around 360 degrees. On weekends, parking is free, so it is a must have, to visit. The entrance is free, but, a donation is welcomed. Recommand+++

Steep stairs to navigate towards the top especially, but once up amazing views. Small museum style room at the top with stories of the past. The church bell rings every 15 minutes so be aware when you are right next to them. Entrance is for free but donations welcome.

A really very nice church. If you are in Maribor, you have to see it, even if, in my opinion, it's not the most beautiful place of worship of the city, but it's still beautiful to see it for sure, internally in particular.

I like cathedrals!

There's something really charming and peaceful about this church. Definitely worth visiting.

Nice little stadium, unfortunately there were no matches while I was in Maribor. I was really impressed how there is an old tree that is preserved while the stadium was built. Kudos for this.

Maribor is a small city, but this club is quite well known in Europe. The best thing about travelling here is that almost everything is within walking distance. It's a bit of a shame that there were no matches when I visited, but I hope to see one live next time.

Great stadium for a great team. We came from israel and went into the south ultras gate. Feeling is fantastic. Ultras are great. We enjoyed a lot. If you're around and you like football you should visit here. Go Maribor Go

Little stadium, but you have a nice view to the pitch

Nice stadium for 12k spectators. Quite central location. Easy to see the whole pitch from every seat.

One of the best atmosphere Ive ever seen in a stadium. Viole is an amazing fan group.

It may not be the biggest stadium in Slovenia, but the atmosphere on this stadium is the best Slovenian football can offer. Thanks to the group "viole" and the people of Maribor. En klub ena čast. Ljudski vrt ti si naš.

Nice

One of the small hills bordering Maribor city to the north. It is called Pyramid due to its steep slopes which are now covered by a vineyard and a forest. The hill is significant for being the site of a previous medieval Maribor/Marburg fortress, the remnants of which are today an archeological site. A rather large chapel now stands at the hilltop, visible from afar. The viewpoint is excellent if one wants to look at the whole city, examine Pohorje mountain and have a glance southeast towards Croatia. I give a lower grade because the area should be maintained better with some urban landscaping and without litter around.

The track offered a pleasant walking experience, with the city skyline and majestic mountains providing a stunning backdrop. The pyramid was an incredibly amusing and memorable destination to explore.

Nice view over city. You walk through vineyard to the top of the hill, it’s not a long walk. I wish little light bulbs that are over vineyards are turned on in the evening, it would probably be much better experience.

Amazing view from the pyramid hill !! Only 40 minutes walking from the bottom :)

Beautiful view for the city.

There is a small chapel at the top of this hill, you can see it as you go up.. The path to the top is winding which makes it easy to climb without losing your breath. You pass some tiny vineyards on your way, and most of the way there is no tree cover for shade. I counted 2, and I stopped at the last tree as it was super hot.. but wherever I reached the view was amazing and extraordinary.. would have been really nice if they added some benches for people to sit and breath the air and enjoy the moment! the view is nice and you'll probably have this place to yourself, so you can enjoy some peace and quiet. Cars and bikes are not allowed, so it’s a walking distance.. if you walk all the way from the town, there’s no sidewalk on the street so.. stay safe!

Perfect lookout point to Maribor. I run up there during my morning jog from the north side and the trail was nice. The other one on the south side of the hill was steep and rugged. There are multiple paths leading up there, so you can choose the right one for you. Definitely a must-visit place in Maribor 🙂

Constructed between 1892 and 1900, this red-brick church features twin towers and an adjoining monastery. Its striking architecture and rich interior make it an essential stop when exploring Maribor's old town.

This is a grandiose basilica , very well maintained. The stained glass windows are simple and particular. There is also a cloister

A nice church in the center and apparently one of rare places open even on Sundays till 19:00. There is a nice garden in theiddle open Some information about the church provided Atmosphere nice but nothing special

It is a peaceful and beautiful Basilica in the small city of Maribor. It is worth seeing for sure if you are around.

The basilica is very beautiful, one of the historic landmarks in Maribor. You can visit it for free.

A monastery is dating from the 12th, design by Viennese architect Richard Jordan. Some paintings inside the church were painted by the Hungarian artist Pruszinskay, the Way of the Cross was carved by Hohnjec from Celje; the organ was made by local master Jožef Brandl. On the main altar is the pilgrimage statue of Mary dating from the 18th century.

Beautiful church in center of city Maribor. As a tourist you need to see one of the biggest Church in Slovenia. Besides this Church is big open space named trg Leona Stuklja. He was Slovenian Olympian in gymnastics.

It's a nice historic old building, but honestly, I wasn't that impressed. There is an interesting and unexpected piece of art near it (in the second picture)

Lovely place, beautiful architecture. Open for events otherwise not I think.

Maribor in Slovenia isn't that popular place yet this one's a quiant and quiet place. Nice to stroll around. Good for a day trip out from the city hustle.

The court tower is a nice building, it has been nicely renovated, in the case of a tour, there is also a description of the history of this building under the tower. In the past, this tower was used as a warehouse and port.

Court tower is defense tower built in 14th century at south west corner of the old town, next to river Drava. It was renew recently

Very nice

This historical building in Maribor was once much bigger, and served as a river portage and storage house. Much of it was torn down in the 20th Century. Now the daily market happens right above it, and efforts are underway to restore it even more (it has been largely restored in terms of the remaining structure).

This is a remarkable gallery with bold presentation of a good mix of work, all of really high quality. There are paintings, sculptures and other more modern works. None of the work on display is lazy or predictable. It has a slightly surreal, theatrical feel to the rooms (some of which work better than others), but overall I would highly recommend this place.

UGM is a little art museum that you can walk through in under one hour. The entry fee is very cheap, and if you're looking for souvenirs in Maribor: there is a museum shop with artsy postcards, tote bags and other things.

It's small galery exposing local artist. Would be nice to have more desciption of individual pictures and sculptures thou. Recommend for short visit, not expensive. Does not seem to have air condition. But it wasn't too warm.

Maribor Gallery offers a truly pleasant and visually engaging experience, showcasing the work of local artists in a beautifully curated exhibition. The arrangement is superb! Dozens of artworks (mostly paintings) are thoughtfully displayed in a way that allows them to interact with each other and the space that is not your average white walls (finally!). It’s clear that a skilled curator was behind it all; without that kind of vision and expertise, it simply wouldn’t have come together so seamlessly. Well worth a visit!

Beautiful collection of Slovenian illustrations. Wondered here randomly because it was the Museum night, and I wish I could have stayed here the entire night.

Quite a small gallery. €3 to enter. When we visited there was an exhibition up stairs and a smaller one on the main floor. A gallery staff member followed us around to each room which made it awkward and less enjoyable to appreciate the art. For this reason I give it 3 stars

calm, not too crowded, wonderful exhibition

Quiet and relaxing park with beautiful buildings surrounding it.

Good small park great for relaxing

Amazing spot for relaxing

Some shadow in the city.

(Translated by Google) The oldest name that the square got after the parish church of St. John the Baptist, is the Kirchenplatz. In 1859, the square was renamed Stolni trg, because in that year the Slovenian bishop Anton Martin Slomšek transferred the headquarters of the Lavatina diocese from Št. Andraž na Carinthia to Maribor. In 1919, the square was renamed Slomškov trg. At the edge of the park, which was planted in 1891, 100 years later, a monument to the first bishop of Maribor, Anton Martin Slomšek, was erected by the sculptor Martin Drev. In the park, there is also a small pool with children's sculptures, the statue of "Korlek", the work of the sculptor Gabrijelo Kolbič. Around the church there was once a city cemetery, where many famous Maribor families were buried. The gravestones have been preserved and are today built into the outer wall of the church. Nearby, there is also a grave sculpture of a reclining lion from the Roman era, from the 1st or 2nd century, which is said to have been found near the village of Starše in the Drava riverbed. (Original) Najstarejše ime, ki ga je trg dobil po župni cerkvi sv. Janeza Krstnika, je Kirchenplatz. Leta 1859 so trg preimenovali v Stolni trg, kajti tega leta je slovenski škof Anton Martin Slomšek prenesel sedež lavatinske škofije iz Št. Andraža na Koroškem v Maribor. Leta 1919 pa so trg preimenovali v Slomškov trg. Ob robu parka, ki so ga nasadili leta 1891, so 100 let zatem postavili spomenik prvemu mariborskemu škofu Antonu Martinu Slomšku, delo kiparja Martina Dreva. V parku vzbudi pozornost še bazenček z otroško plastiko, kipcem "Korleka", delom kiparja Gabrijela Kolbiča. Okoli cerkve je bilo nekoč mestno pokopališče, kjer je bilo pokopanih mnogo znamenitih mariborskih družin. Nagrobniki so se ohranili in so danes vzidani v zunanjo steno cerkve. V bližini je še nagrobna plastika ležečega leva iz rimske dobe, iz 1. ali 2. stoletja, ki bi ga naj našli pri vasi Starše v dravski strugi.

(Translated by Google) Before visiting this museum I had imagined a photographic exhibition, perhaps there was no exhibition underway at that moment, but instead it was a surprise to see an important collection of cameras from different eras and importance, such as the Graflex that Tina Modotti used. (Original) Prima di visitare questo museo avevo immaginato una mostra fotografica, forse in quel momento non era in corso nessuna mostra, invece è stata una sorpresa vedere un’importante collezione di macchine fotografiche di diverse epoche e importanza, come la Graflex che usava Tina Modotti.

(Translated by Google) I recommend it, as it is very educational. If you book earlier and want a guided tour, you can also get a workshop where a camera is made with a group of children. I highly recommend it. (Original) Priporočam, saj je zelo poučno. Če se naročiš prej in želiš voden ogled lahko s skupino otrok dobite tudi delavnico kjer se izdela kamera. Zelo priporočam.

Great place to see some cultural events

Great place to host privat events, concerts...

Hidden gem in the very center of Maribor.

Nice place, Had visited it more than once. Workshops for adults and children. Coffee, Nice talks. I’ll be back

Very atmospheric jazz events. Sadly closed it appears permanently.

We organize anime watching and board game nights on saturdays every 14 days. A nice place that also offers a kitchen. All for our needs of event organising.

Great atmosphere, lots of interesting things to see and good food

Mansion Račji dvor lies in a plain on the western edge of the city of Maribor below the slopes of abandoned wine-growing hills. It dates from the 17th century. In the 18th century. got a late Baroque appearance.

Nice, surrounded by nature. No trash bins..

A beautiful historic turist attraction.

Nithing

Nothing to see here

(Translated by Google) The manor is from the 17th century. In 1279, the Teutonic Order sold the manor with its property, especially the vineyards, to the Benedictine monastery in Admont, which remained the owner of the manor until the middle of the 20th century. According to its current architecture, the Račji ​​dvor mansion no longer belongs to the Middle Ages. The core of the manor is its eastern tract from the 17th century. (Original) Dvorec je iz 17 stoletja. Leta 1279 je Nemški viteški red dvorec s pripadajočo posestjo, predvsem vinogradi, prodal benediktinskemu samostanu v Admontu, ki je ostal lastnik dvorca vse do sredine 20. stoletja. Dvorec Račji dvor po svoji današnji arhitekturi ne sodi več v srednji vek. Jedro dvorca predstavlja njegov vzhodni trakt iz 17. stoletja.
