7 days in Maribor Itinerary

Cycling may be one of the best ways to tour Maribor, a great base for exploring the surrounding area and conquering Pohorje Mountains.

Change things up with these side-trips from Maribor: Green Gold Beer Fountain (in Žalec), Celje Castle (in Celje) and Spas (in Podčetrtek). There's lots more to do: examine the collection at Old Vine House, do a tasting at Vinogradi Horvat - Vineyards Horvat, fly down the slopes at Mariborsko Pohorje Ski Resort, and take in the dramatic natural features at Pyramid Archaeological Site.
