Maribor's sightseeing tour
Starting a familiarity with Maribor best with a study tour. During her, you can see all local pearls: Maribor Castle, Franciscan Church, a Plague Pillar, an embankment tapes, the oldest grape vine in the world. Also on this trip includes tasting of the wines of the region and boating. The cost of a half-day tour of 45 euros, it already includes a boat walk and a visit to the tasting hall.
In addition, on the historical center of Marbor, you can ride on a small bus, called local residents of Yurcek. YURCHEK is interconnected by all the most significant attractions of the historic center of the city.
Excursion in the vicinity of Maribor
Nature in these parts is very picturesque, and you can make sure of this by going on a tour of the neighborhood of Maribor. Here will be waiting for a funicular to the mountain of Praise, with stunning views of the city, a walk to the waterfall of the hub, as well as acquaintance with the ecological farm. Here you can try Slovenian cuisine dishes, as well as taste local alcoholic beverages. Baby here will also like it - there is a playground on the farm, and a mini-pool, where you can watch farm animals: piglets, calves, hares, chickens. The excursion itself lasts half a day, its cost - 90 euros (the price also includes a climb on the funicular and tasting on an ecological farm).
Stanic wine day
In my opinion, most marigor excursions include visiting wine cellars with subsequent tasting of beverages. But to whom and this is not enough, a specialized tour of the Stansky Wine Day is offered here. The excursion lasts a whole day, and enters it and visits to vineyards, and tasting local wines in several grape builds, and lunch with national dishes, and dating with picturesque surroundings.
Tour of the city of Ptuj and wine tasting
A trip to Ptui will be interested in the first place to lovers of history. After all, Ptui is the most ancient Slovenian city, which is also called the Millennium Treasury and the Museum in Miniature. There is a very beautiful city square, Ptuous Castle, Dominican Monastery. And, of course, Ptui is famous for its grapes and wine, so without tasting drinks can not do this time. It is especially lucky to those who visit Ptui at the beginning of February - at this time the colorful Ptuyian carnival is held here, the most famous in Slovenia.
Visit Ljubljana
Maybe I am not right, but I think that by visiting the country, but without having been in its capital, you can see only part of the real life of local residents. After all, no provincial city will reflect the metropolitan life, its atmosphere, its color. We traveled to Ljubljana, the capital with Maribor has a good transport connection. However, for those who prefer organized trips, one-day trips to Ljubljana offer local travel agencies. It includes a visit to the historic center of the city, the local market, lifting on the funicular to the Ljubljana castle and acquaintance with him. Also, at the excursion, free time is provided to resemble in the metropolitan stores (which is much better than marigor) or in good weather swim on the boat on the Ljubljana river.
Tour of Lake Bled and Bohin
Visit the two most famous and beautiful Lakes Slovenia. Sometimes they offer a trip only to Lake Bled and in the Bled Castle, which are considered the main attraction of the country - the photos of the lake with the tiny island in the middle are in all Slovenian guidebooks. In my opinion, it is better to go to both lakes that are close to each other. Bohiny - Lake is less promoted, more wild, but in something more attractive, in my opinion. Maybe the lack of infrastructure and crowd of tourists on its shores. Moreover, the price difference is not very big: the cost of the excursion to both lakes is 70 euros, only on the Bled - 50. In both excursions, tickets come tickets to the Bled Castle (9 euros) and a walk on the Bled Lake at the local boat.
Postoying Cave and the Adriatic coast
The excursion is very saturated, diverse, it is best to go to the warm season, to see coastal cities in all its glory, without winds and rains. The post-Moscow pit is the pride of Slovenia, they are now intensively spinning, along the road you can see numerous advertising with a recommendation to visit the cave. It is really interesting for its stalactites, stalagmites and stalagmatics, which can be drunk on an underground electricide. Then the excursion may continue in a very interesting location castle in a rock and excellent panoramic views. But I most liked another version of the excursion, in which you can visit the resort towns on the Adriatic Sea - Portorož and Piran. They are very southern, colorful, Italian, with Venetian architecture, narrow streets and red tiled roofs. By the way, for a trip to the cave, you need to take warm things - it is very cold there.
Excursion to Venice
Venice is simply great, no one will argue with that, and those who were not in Italy, but would like to admire her unique beauty, there is an opportunity to go there from Maribor for one day. The excursion is very saturated, starts at 6 am and ends at 9 pm. It includes a visit to the local water tram Vaporettuto, acquaintance with the main attractions: San Marco Square, Lie Palace, Rialto Bridge, Venetian Market, walk through the local narrow streets. The cost of the excursion - 130 euros (included a ticket to Vaporetto).
In fact, excursions offered in Marbor's travel agencies. You can go to the famous ski resort Rogasha Slatina, and in the castle of Olymia, and in the coal mine in the city of Obnet. By the way, for some reason I did not find excursions in Austria, although I am going to go to her about 20 minutes, and for sure, local guides there are several interesting offers. In general, lovers of excursion trips to bother in Maribor will not be able to.
