Go Now... Maribor, Slovenia

Visit the European capital of culture


September 20, 2011


The blue Drava river runs through the evergreen Slovenske Gorice hills and ice-tipped Kozjak and Pohorje mountain ranges to the red-roofed Slovenian city of Maribor. Follow the riverbank further into bustling city parks, 12th-century architectural survivors, and vibrant galleries and theatres. If all this isn’t reason enough to visit, Maribor has also been named the European Capital of Culture for 2012, alongside Guimarães in Portugal. A year-long program of exhibits and events will highlight the city’s population, flavours and sounds. Partake in celebrations infused with Cista Energija! (That’s Pure Energy, by the way.)
