HOW TO ENJOY YOURSELF


CULTURE

Slovenia has a rich cultural heritage, with a lot of museums, theatres and even castles. The city of Maribor was the European Capital of Culture in 2012. There are a lot of cultural events throughout the whole year, but the biggest one is the Summer Festival Lent.

 

NATURE

Slovenia is a green country with a lot of forest, lakes, rivers, hills and mountains. It really is a piece of paradise. You should visit our capital Ljubljana, Lake Bled, Postojna cave, the magical coastal city of Piran, the Slovenian Alps.  Maribor is also at the foot of Pohorje hill, so you will have a beautiful retreat into nature at your doorstep. There are also many wine producing regions in Slovenia that produce high quality wines.


SPORT

With all the mountains and hills, Slovenia has a lot of opportunities to hike, ski, snowboard, etc. Pohorje in Maribor also has a Bike park with downhill tracks if you’re into adrenalin sports. You can also attend a football match of the best Slovenian team FC Maribor (hint: wear a violet T-shirt). You can also visit a fitness studio.
