[email protected] ESSENTIAL CITY GUIDES GETTING AROUND Maribor is the main transport hub for the eastern half of Slovenia, and as such is well-connected by public transport to the rest of country, in addition to Austria, Hungary and Croatia. The main bus and train stations are only a couple hundred metres apart on the eastern edge of the city centre, and well within walking distance of most centrally-located hotels, however, there should be taxis waiting out front if you don’t feel like dragging your luggage through an unfamiliar city. Arriving by Plane Maribor’s tiny airport does not currently have any scheduled flights, so unless you’ll be arriving on a charter flight or your own jet, your best bets are the airports in Ljubljana and Graz (Austria), which are both well-connected to the rest of Europe and near enough to Maribor (100km and 60km respectively) to serve as viable points of arrival. Arriving by Bus The main bus station is either an architectural icon or eyesore depending on one’s taste, but either way, it’s centrally located and has a range of facilities from information and lockers to restaurants and a casino. The city is fairly well-covered by local buses with tickets costing €1.10/2.75 for single rides/day passes and can be purchased from drivers. Bus Station C-4, Mlinska 1, tel.

Arriving by Train Although the train station has quite a bit of traffic coming and going in all directions, it doesn’t have much in the way of facilities. If you’re in need of anything other than a toilette or a quick drink, you’ll have much more luck at the nearby bus station. Car rental Amzs - Hertz Maribor K-3, Zagrebska 25, tel.

Markets Kmečka Ekološka Tržnica (Farmer’s Market) Tel. (+386) 51 610 155/ (+386) 51 610 133, [email protected]. Just because organic products never really went out of style in Slovenia, doesn’t mean that local farmers and craftsmen can’t capitalise on there ever-increasing popularity. Every Friday and Saturday health-concious locals flock to Glavni Trg to stock up on ecologically produced goods sold from a ring of movable wooden carts. It’s also a great place to pick up some uniquely Slovenian gifts, such as a wax-sealed bottle or two of medica - a sweet honey-based liqueur that our friends abroad always seem happy to receive. QOpen , Fri 09:00 - 14:00, Sat 08:00 - 13:00. Mariborska Tržnica (Maribor Market) D-2, Vodnikov Trg 5, tel. (+386) 2 251 87 28, [email protected]. The small sloping Vodnikov Square is a strange combination of tradition and modernity. While recent renovations have added a large underground parking garage and a canopy of bizarre-looking inverted umbrellas, it’s also home to Maribor’s central market - where farmers from the countryside still come to peddle their fruits, vegetables, flowers and handicrafts each and every day. Even if you’re not looking to buy anything it’s worth a visit on purely aesthetic grounds. QOpen 06.00 - 15.00. Shopping centres E.Leclerc H/J-3, Tržaška 67A, tel.

GettinG aroundMaribor is the main transport hub for the eastern half of Slovenia, and as such is well-connected by public transport to the rest of country, in addition to Austria, Hungary and Croatia. The main bus and train stations are only a couple hundred metres apart on the eastern edge of the city centre, and well within walking distance of most centrally-located hotels, however, there should be taxis waiting out front if you don’t feel like dragging your luggage through an unfamiliar city.

Arriving by PlaneMaribor’s tiny airport does not currently have any scheduled flights, so unless you’ll be arriving on a charter flight or your own jet, your best bets are the airports in Ljubljana and Graz (Austria), which are both well-connected to the rest of Europe and near enough to Maribor (100km and 60km respectively) to serve as viable points of arrival.

Arriving by BusThe main bus station is either an architectural icon or eyesore depending on one’s taste, but either way, it’s centrally located and has a range of facilities from information and lockers to restaurants and a casino. The city is fairly well-covered by local buses with tickets costing €1.10/2.75 for single rides/day passes and can be purchased from drivers.

Arriving by TrainAlthough the train station has quite a bit of traffic coming and going in all directions, it doesn’t have much in the way of facilities. If you’re in need of anything other than a toilette or a quick drink, you’ll have much more luck at the nearby bus station.

Every Friday and Saturday health-concious locals flock to Glavni Trg to stock up on ecologically produced goods sold from a ring of movable wooden carts. It’s also a great place to pick up some uniquely Slovenian gifts, such as a wax-sealed bottle or two of medica - a sweet honey-based liqueur that our friends abroad always seem happy to receive. QOpen , Fri 09:00 - 14:00, Sat 08:00 - 13:00.Mariborska Tržnica (Maribor Market) D-2, Vodnikov Trg 5, tel. (+386) 2 251 87 28, [email protected]. The small sloping Vodnikov Square is a strange combination of tradition and modernity. While recent renovations have added a large underground parking garage and a canopy of bizarre-looking inverted umbrellas, it’s also home to Maribor’s central market - where farmers from the countryside still come to peddle their fruits, vegetables, flowers and handicrafts each and every day. Even if you’re not looking to buy anything it’s worth a visit on purely aesthetic grounds. QOpen 06.00 - 15.00.

With one of the country’s biggest and best ski resorts only a few minutes’ drive from the city centre, Slovenia’s second city Maribor is a top destination for both foreign visitors and Slovenes alike during the winter season. In mid-January the city hosts the prestigious Zlata Lisica (or Golden Fox) Audi FIS Women’s World Ski Championship, which draws competitors and spectators from around the world, and engulfs Maribor in a citywide party atmosphere. Thanks in part to its 47 years of experience hosting such a major sports event, Maribor has also been chosen as the site of the 26th Winter Universiade in 2013. In addition to the various ski and sports activities on offer, the winter season is a great time to visit for a multitude of other reasons, not least the annual Christmas festivities in and around the Old Town, as well as New Year’s celebrations with requisite concerts, street parties and fireworks display to ring in 2011. The city’s cultural credentials are also not in doubt, as it has been named one of Europe’s capitals of culture for 2012.

Of course Maribor is also the capital of one of Slovenia’s major wine growing regions, and although the grapes have now long been picked, the winter and spring months are the best time of year to go wine tasting at the countless vineyards scattered around the countryside. Before setting off on such a trip, those unfamiliar with the region would be well advised to stop by the Old Vine House, located in the historic Lent district along the riverside. Named for the world’s oldest vine, which even after 400 still bears grapes, the premises include a museum on the history of wine production in the region, and a small but well-stocked wine shop, whose friendly knowledgeable staff will gladly make recommendations and help you plan your tour. As Maribor’s most famous librarian (and part-time poet) Janko Glazer once elegantly put it: “Where is there a town like ours? From all directions wine is pouring into our glasses!” Where indeed.

“In Your Pocket: A cheeky, well- written series of guidebooks.”

Most of the city’s historical sites - churches, monuments and an oddly large number of free-standing towers - are concentrated in a relatively small area that makes up the old town centre, which means that half a day and a good pair of walking shoes is all you should need to cover most of the main sites. However, with inviting cafés and ice cream shops every few metres, a couple of large parks that reward aimless wandering, and lots of photogenic old villas to the north west of the old town, you could spend the better part of a week exploring and still find something new around every corner.

Essential MariborDravska Vila Cruises (Tourist Agency Don Travel) Gregorčičeva 23, tel. (+386) 2 229 09 52, [email protected]. Take in the view of Maribor’s old town and other sights along the river Drava with a cruise on a tourist boat. Scheduled trips leave Wed-Fri at 18:00, and Sat & Sun at 11:00 and 18:00, but other times can be arranged in advance with a minimum of ten people. 30/60-minute trips are €4.50/9.00 for adults, and group packages are also possible. The same company also offers city tours by train - either guided (€7.20) or unguided (€2.60) - which leave from the Tourist Information Office.

Maribor Castle C-3, Grajska 2, tel. (+386) 2 228 35 51, [email protected], www.pmuzej-mb.si. Doesn’t look much like a castle in the traditional sense - more like a rather grand administrative building - but this is largely due to the fact that it has gone through more than its fair share of modifications since the original Gothic structure was built in 1555 as a noble residence. Renaissance-style fortifications were added in the 17th century, along with the southern façade, and the 18th century saw the current staircase installed. Now, it is home to the Regional Museum of Maribor, which boasts an impressive collection of artifacts from around the area. QOpen 09:00 - 16:00, Sun 09:00 - 14:00. Closed Mon. Admission €3/2/0.85 for adults/students/children.

Mestni Park (City Park) B-2/3, Pri Parku. This immaculately-kept park just north of the city centre is definitely one of Maribor’s best features. With its three ponds teeming with many different species of bird and a terrapin or two in amongst them - who started life in the nearby and popular aquarium - and highly sociable squirrels up and around the trees, there is much to keep nature lovers occupied but this is also the city’s best place to relax. On Sundays you might catch a classical music concert held in the pavilion right smack in the middle of the park.

The Old Vine & The Old Vine House D-2, Vojašniška 8, tel. (+386) 2 251 51 00, [email protected]. Where the oldest vine in the world can be found winding its way up the front of the building, the house is now a museum dedicated to teaching visitors all there is to know about the wine culture of the Styrian region of Slovenia. At 400 years of age the vine has claimed its rightful place in the Guinnesss Book of Records and still bears the Zametovka or Blue Franconian grape, one of the oldest wine types in the country. The museum offers guided tours and also boasts an unparalleled collection of Styrian wines, which can be bought at a very generous discount. The house also plays host to a festival in its own name which is held every September, and is the starting point for various wine roads. QOpen 10:00 - 18:00.

Vinag C-3, Trg Svobode 3, tel. (+386) 2 22 08 119, [email protected], www.vinag.si. One of the largest classical wine cellars in Central Europe is located in, or rather under, the heart of Maribor. Comprised of over 2km of tunnels covering some 20,000m² and containing nearly 6 million litres of wine, the place might be too much for some wine-lovers to handle. Dating back to 1836, the cellar began to grow in size and importance with the completion of the Vienna-Trieste railway five years later. Following World War Two the premises became part of a local cooperative, and were expanded and modernised in the years that followed, before being taken over by Vinag in 1960. Nowadays, a modern wine shop and tasting rooms sit on top of the vast underground network, with more than enough varieties to keep you busy for several hours. Group tastings and visits to the wine cellar can be arranged with prior notice. QOpen 09:00 - 19:00, Sat 08:00 - 13:00. Closed Sun.

ChurchesMaribor Cathedral C-2, Slomškov Trg 20, tel. (+386) 2 251 84 32, zupnije.rkc.si/mb-stolnica. First built in 1248 as a Romanesque basilica with a nave and two aisles, the cathedral gained its current appearance in the 15th century as a Gothic structure, though the Baroque chapels date from the 16th and 18th centuries. Inside, one is treated to the sight of a lavishly adorned altar, which lights up the place all on its own. Don’t miss the stained glass window commemorating Pope John Paul II’s trip to Slovenia in 1999. Trips to the top of the tower are also available from 08:00-18:00.QOpen 08:00 - 18:00.

Čajek Café C-3, Slovenska 4, tel. (+386) 2250 29 86, [email protected], www.cajek.com. Traditional tea-shop with nostalgic furniture and interior which are belied by the hugely-varied, downright contemporary, international choice of brews on offer. Popular with students who take books along to read as they sip away at their herbal treat and occasionally peer around while pondcering the meaning of life. The thinking-person’s cafe, you might say. QOpen 07:30 - 22:00, Sat 09:00 - 14:00, 17:00-22:00, Sun 17:00 - 22:00.

Ilich C-3, Slovenska 6, tel. (+386) 22 50 24 08, [email protected]. With a softly-lit low vaulted ceiling, comfy suade furniture and walls decorated with an assortment of black and white photos and old let-ters, this café-cum-ice cream parlour gets top marks for atmosphere. It also serves some of the best tiramisu we’ve ever had and even sells its own brand of biscotti. One of our favourite cafés. QOpen 07:00 - 21:00. PJAGBS

Pohorska Kavarna Ob Ribniku 1, tel. (+386) 26 14 15 00/(+386) 41 64 01 01, www.pohorska-kavarna.com. Regardless of the time or season you’re likely to find this place packed with a mix of foreign tourists, vacationing Slovene families, locals and their dogs - even when nearby cafés are eerily desolate. Their cakes are apparently so popular that the waitress may seem genuinely confused if you choose not to order one. After realising this we decided to split a slice of blueberry cheesecake and were glad we did. QOpen 06:00 - 23:00. PTA6LGBS

Cafés

Synagogue D-3, Židovska 4, tel. (+386) 2252 78 36, [email protected], www.pmuzej-mb.si. Built in 1465 to serve as the religious, spiritual and cultural centre for the city’s Jewish community, the tower in which it is housed was also part of the fortified section of Maribor. Today it is a museum displaying photos and other artefacts concerned with Jewish culture but the building’s historical character is still very strong and it is regarded as one of the city’s most important heritage sites. Since 2001, a number of cultural events have been held in the synagogue and the long-term aim of the local authority - which owns the building - is to turn it into a Slovenian Jewish Heritage Centre. QOpen 08:00 - 16:00, Sun 09:00 - 14:00. Closed Sat.

MonumentsBishop Slomšek Monument C-2, Slomškov trg. This relatively new statue - only erected in 1991 - is tucked away in a shady corner opposite the main entrance of Maribor’s Cathedral, where the bishop is interred. This is no coincidence, as it was Slomšek who was responsible for the transfer of the Lavantine diocese to Maribor in 1859. The bishop also holds the distinction of becoming the first Slovene saint - an honour that Pope John Paul II personally proclaimed on a visit to Maribor in 1999. Aside from religious activities, Slomšek was also a fervent supporter of the Slovene language, and is largely credited with having founded the primary school system in Slovenia.

National Liberation Monument C-3, Trg Svobode. Appropriately located in Trg Svobode (‘Freedom Square’), this recently renovated spherical bronze memo-rial pays tribute to those gunned down by the Nazis during World War II for rising up against occupation. By walking around the monument you can look at public announcements of the executions of the some 667 people who were condemned to death by the German forces. Erected in 1975, the sculpture is the work of local artist Slavko Tihec, and despite its sombre purpose the good citizenry of Maribor have dubbed the monument ‘Kojak’ because of its resemblance to a bald head.

Plague Column (Kužno Znamenje) D-2, Glavni Trg. Erected in 1743 to replace an older version, Maribor’s loveliest monument serves the unfortunate purpose of commemorating the cessation of a plague, which killed over one third of the city’s inhabitants between 1680-81. The large monument, designed by Jožef Štraub, dominates Glavni Trg (the main square) and features a golden Mary atop an 8 metre column surrounded by six saints.

Around MariborDveri Pax Polički Vrh 1, Jarenina, tel. (+386) 2 644 00 82/(+386) 31 789 100, fax (+386) 2 644 00 83, [email protected], www.dveri-pax.com. Since undergoing major renovations and expansion in 2007, the Dveri Pax winery has been collecting London Decanter and other prestigious international awards like they were Pez dispensers. As with most of the vineyards in the Štajerska region, they produce a full range of white wines including Riesling, Traminec and, our personal favourite, the autochthonous Šipon variety, as well as several reds. Wine aside, the property itself is worth a visit. Hidden away amongst the green hills 20km north of Maribor, a 200 year-old farmhouse serves as the main production facility, while a former Benedictine monastery dating back to 1139 hosts group wine tastings, events and even a small museum. Plans are also afoot to convert the upper floor to guest rooms.

As Maribor continues its transformation from the country’s industrial work-horse to a full-fledged tourist destination, its range of accommodation has obligingly followed suit. Although a few uninspired and overpriced business hotels still stubbornly cling to their glory days, great new options keep pop-ping up all the time and many older places have undergone recent renova-tions, so finding something to fit your budget shouldn’t be much trouble. The highest density of accommodation is in the suburb of Radvanje at the foot of the Pohorje ski and recreation area, only a ten minute drive from the city centre. If you are interested in taking advantage of the various year-round activities that the mountains have to offer, a number of hotels can arrange package discounts. For those with their own transportation, there are tons of charming little guest houses in surrounding villages and the countryside, most of which provide a comfortable laid-back atmosphere and good home-cooked food.

BalkanGala Žar D-3, Loška 10, tel. (+386) 2252 36 00. As with all Balkan restaurants, vegetarians would be well-advised to give this Serbian place a wide berth, while meat-lovers will want to circle it on their maps. If you’re like us and have a tough time deciding on any one thing, there are some good sampler menus offering a sizeable taste of several different dishes. Don’t forgot to order a side of fresh-baked Lepinja (a tasty flat bread) to go with your plate of meat. The small terrace out front is surrounded by a little too much concrete, and there a lot of similar places with better locations further down Lent, but the food here is excellent.

Fast FoodBolarič C-3, Jurčičeva 3, tel. (+386) 2 250 59 10, [email protected]. Good, wholesome café on a busy city centre street where you can fill-up quickly and for a reason-able price, though the food on offer is vastly more healthy than the term ‘fast food’ would suggest. An excellent choice for anyone wanting a brief respite while in Maribor during the colder months, with soups, hot pots and goulashes featuring strongly on the menu. QOpen 08:00 - 16:00, Sat 08:00 - 13:00. Closed Sun. (€2-7). PTASW

InternationalAncora C-3, Jurčičeva 7, tel. (+386) 2 250 20 33, [email protected], www.sidro.si. A frenetic pizza and pasta joint which has the local twenty-somethings nattering at high volume while they wait for their meals, served by waiting staff from the same generation. Lots of wooden panelling about the place and the youthful chefs concoct the dishes in full view of the custom, not that they seem to notice as the latest gossip is clearly far higher up on the menu. QOpen 09:00 - 24:00, Fri 09:00 - 01:00, Sat 10:00 - 01:00, Sun 10:30 - 22:30. (€4-8) . PAGBS

Milenium Zg. Hoče 64, tel. (+386) 2618 17 14, www.gostilna-milenium.com. It’s quite a drive and really doesn’t look like much once you actually get there, but this inauspicious family-run establishment in the village of Hoče is one of our favourites. The Kramberger family has been championing its own version of contemporary Styrian cuisine for over a decade, with the parents in the kitchen and the eldest son, Samo, out front handling the duties of Maître d’, sommelier and expert-on-all-things-gastronomic. The daily set menus, which can have up to seven courses, are prepared using only fresh locally-sourced ingredients, and are accom-panied by a great selection of quality local wines. Highly recommended. QOpen 16:00 - 22:00, Sat 11:00 - 22:00, Sun 11:00 - 18:00. (€8-27). PAULW

Novi Svet pri Stolnici C-2, Slomškov Trg 5, tel. (+386) 22 50 04 86, www.novi-svet.com. Maribor’s most renowned fish restaurant is where Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich ate while in town for the Slovenia-Russia World Cup 2010 qualifier, which gives some indication of the quality and reputation. However, if you don’t have the good fortune of being an oligarch (Russian or otherwise), be careful when ordering, as many of the dishes are charged by weight and can quickly add up. The vast selec-tion of seafood is cooked according to local recipes, and you’re aided in digestion and enjoyment by over a hundred wines and live entertainment. QOpen 10:00 - 24:00, Sat 11:00 - 24:00, Sun 11:00 - 17:00. (€5-20). PTA6IEB

Pohorka G-3, Begova 2, tel. (+386) 26 14 01 10, fax (+386) 26 14 01 11. At the end of a quiet residential street at the foot of Pohorje, the outdoor terrace is a great place to relax with a beer after a day of hiking, and there’s a fairly decent play area to keep the kids busy while you do so. The word ‘hearty’ aptly sums up just about

everything on the slightly over-priced menu, which seems to noticeably cater to Ger-man palates. The massive kaiser schnitzel (a fried breaded concoction with layers of pork steak, ham, cheese and green peppers) is especially recommended. There’s also few cheap rooms available upstairs if you plan on eating too much to make it anywhere else. QOpen 11.00 - 23.00, Sun 11:00 - 18:00. PTA6ULBS

Pri Florjanu Grajski Trg 6, tel. (+386) 225 14 842, [email protected]. Opposite the castle on the funnel-shaped Grajski Trg, this café-cum-Mediterranean restaurant has a comfortably stylish interior covered in earthy purples, browns and reds, and an outdoor seating area that takes up a good amount of real estate right on the square. An ample selection of both cakes and magazines are on hand to help pass the time, while vegetarians may want to consider staying for lunch as the menu here is one of the few in town with more than a token amount of meat-free dishes. QOpen 11:00 - 22:00. Closed Sun. (€5.50-12). PJAB

Pri Treh Ribnikih A-3, Ribniška 9, tel. (+386) 2234 41 70, [email protected], www.termemb.si. Goes two centuries better than some of its other resilient competitors in the region, this three-hundred-year-old restaurant has survived by staying in close communion with the lush nature which surrounds, in the form of the City Park and its three ponds - which give the restaurant its name. Plentiful food and wine provides all the fuel you need to go and explore the untouched beauty waiting outside for you after you’ve settled the bill. QOpen 10:00 - 22:00, Sat 10:00 - 21_00, Sun 10:00 - 21:00. (€10-17). PTABSW

Rožmarin C-2, Gosposka 8, tel. (+386) 2234 31 80, [email protected], www.rozmarin.si. The owners of Maribor’s trendiest restaurant definitely know what they’re doing. From the lighting to the service to the food this place exudes a cosmopolitan ambiance that you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in the country. Of course all that style doesn’t come cheap. Although some à la carte dishes will set you back less than €10, the often changing multi-course menus can cost up to four times that - or six if you opt to have a matching wine for every dish - and require advanced booking. Highly recommended if you feeling like splurging or are in town with a company credit card. QOpen 11:00 - 22:00. Closed Sun. (€6-45). PTJA6UEGBKSW

Villa Rustica H-2, Majcigerjeva 36, tel. (+386) 2 420 51 72, www.villa-rustica.si. Pohorje-based restaurant with a slight difference in that it celebrates what Italian, rather than Slovene, cuisine has had to offer over the centuries. Given that there are Roman ruins nearby this choice seems highly appropriate. But when you step outside and peer up at those endless green hills, you’ll know that you are firmly in Central Europe, with the Mediterranean almost another world away. QOpen 11:00 - 22:00, Sat 15:00 - 22:00, Sun 12:00 - 22:00. (€5-15). PTALBS

MexicanTakos D-2, Mesarski prehod 3, tel. (+386) 2252 71 50, [email protected], www.takos.si. The decor might be minimalist in this Mexican eatery but the portions most certainly aren’t. You’ll need to keep an eye on your food if you choose to eat outside as the restaurant is located in a sloping alley-way so there is a chance your plate might slide off the table. Entertainment comes with the food as well so pack your dancing shoes and get ready to knock back a tequila or two. QOpen 11:00 - 23:00, Fri, Sat 11:00 - 02:30. Closed Sun. PTJA6UGBXSW

PizzaLa Cantina G-3, Pohorska 60, tel. (+386) 2 614 56 14. Small, functional Ital-ian restaurant right near the Habakuk Hotel and the ski slope - one of the Pohorje mountains’ main focal points - offering plenty of the customary Italian dishes. It can be a godsend if you are staying in one of the hotels nearby, as it is often the only place where it is possible to get a bite to eat till late. QOpen 07:00 - 24:00. (€4-9). PTAGBS

SlovenianPri Kostanju G-3, Streliška 30, tel. (+386) 2420 01 30. Although its country inn credentials have been somewhat compromised thanks to a massive chain supermarket recently moving in next door, this place still manages to turn out fine traditional Slovene cuisine. However, Kostanju’s real draw is the slightly claustro-phobic wine cellar downstairs, where you can sample home-made wine. If you like what you taste bottles are available for purchase at reasonable prices. QOpen 09:00 - 22:00. Closed Mon, Sun. (€5-18). PTA6GBS

Štajerc C-3, Vetrinjska 30, tel. (+386) 2 234 42 34, www.termemb.si. Located in the centre of the old town, Štajerc is one of the best options in town for traditional Slovene cuisine, including the house specialty bograč - a stew with three different kinds of meat. The large outdoor garden area provides ample room for groups, and is abuzz with activity all summer. In addition to the restaurant, there is also an onsite brewery, which is open for organised tours. QOpen 10:00 - 22:00, Fri, Sat 10:00 - 24:00. Closed Sun. (€4-13). TJAULGBK

Vinska Klet Brigadir H-1, Za Kalvarijo 65, tel. (+386) 2250 85 10, [email protected]. Quite a few places around Maribor have wine cellars open for tastings and tours, but this one actually manages to cram an entire restaurant underneath its low-hanging vaulted brick ceiling. Located beyond the vineyards on the hill just north of the city centre, this friendly family-run place turns out an array of no-nonsense traditional Slovene cuisine to go with its extensive selection of locally produced wine. They also offer wine tours - call ahead to make arrangements or enquire about the details. QOpen 11:30 - 23:00, Fri, Sat 11:30 - 24:00. (€3-7). TA6LEBS

VegetarianNEW

Loving Hut C-3, Partizanska 3-5, tel. (+386) 30 697 555, maribor.lov-inghut.si. The world’s fastest growing (and perhaps only) international vegan fast food chain, Maribor recently got its own Loving Hut express stand opposite the Tourist Information Centre. Operating under the motto ‘Be veg, go green, 2 save the planet!’, it’s not only a healthier option compared to the standard kebap, burek, pizza and hot dog options that line the rest of the street, but is also reasonable priced. QOpen 10:00 - 19:00, Sat 12:00 - 22:00. Closed Sun. (€1-5.50). JS

Simfonija Okusov J-1, Meljski dol 4, tel. (+386) 40 883 843, [email protected], www.simfonijaokusov.si. Although we’re not vegetarians ourselves, we readily admit that those who are generally know how to handle their spices, and the chaps running the kitchen at Simfonija are no exception. Located just north of the central train station, on the opposite side of the tracks, Symphony of Tastes lives up to its name and then some. Catering services are also available, with same day service on orders taken before 09:00. QOpen 12:00 - 18:00, Sat 12:00 - 17:00. Closed Sun. (€3-7). PLS

Bars & PubsPatrick’s Pub D-2, Poštna 10, tel. (+386) 22 51 18 01, [email protected], www.patricks-pub.robot.si. Now that Maribor’s first Irish pub finally ended its sacrilegious sponsorship by a Scotch whisky we have no qualms with the place - not that the inconsistency ever seemed to bother the crowds that pack in here on a nightly basis. While it’s been doing its small part to help reinforce stereotypes of the Emerald Isle for over a decade, it didn’t officially receive its pub credentials until it added a kitchen back in 2006. Now after that sixth pint invariably triggers your desire for a burger and chips there’s no need to stumble off into the night in search of greasy sustenance. QOpen 08:00 - 24:00, Fri, Sat 08:00 - 02:00, Sun 16:00 - 23:00. JA6UGBKS

Tildos C-2, Slomškov Trg 13, tel. (+386) 41 79 69 64. Toto Café’s next-door neighbour, so no surprise that the clientele is virtually the same. Quite reason-able to pop back and forth during a night out, though Tildos arguably boasts the swisher interior of the two and also seems to get people on their feet a little bit more often than is the case next door. QOpen 08:00 - 24:00, Fri 08:00 - 02:00, Sat 10:00 - 02:00, Sun 16:00 - 24:00. PJAGBSW

Toto Café C-2, Slomškov Trg 13, tel. (+386) 40 23 57 75. Just a light trot away from the university, so no surprise that it packs in a stylish, student crowd who look every bit the part until the early hours. The emphasis is very much on ‘chilling out’, it would seem, but the bar can get lively enough at the weekends. QOpen 08:00 - 24:00, Fri 08:00 - 02:00, Sat 10:00 - 02:00, Sun 16:00 - 23:00. PJAGBXW

ClubsKlub MC Pekarna E-2, Ob Železnici 16, tel. (+386) 2320 20 18, [email protected], www.klub-mc.si. Good old-fashioned, loud and nasty underground live music venue. Used to be a bakery serving the needs of the Yugoslavian army, hence the name (which is Slovene for ‘bakery’) but now the local grungy types come here to act up and swill beer, which at €1.50 a throw is some of the cheapest in town. Prides itself on its independent, anti-establishment spirit where young artists can have a go and see what comes out. This is apparently why there are potraits of native Americans and totem poles in and around the place. RLGB

KMŠ D-2, Vodnikov Trg 4, tel. (+386) 2228 29 33, [email protected], www.klub-kms.si. In Slovene KMŠ stands for ‘Maribor Students’ Club’, a rather unglamourous name to tell the truth but one that does accurately cover the wide range of activities that go on there. Whether with its mad drunken parties until dawn, raucous gigs battering the ear drums or quieter lectures and theatre performances providing the stimulation and entertainment, KMŠ Club always entices the crowds whatever it has to offer. QOpen 16:00 - 04:00. Closed Sun. PJA6EBW

Ribičija J/K-1, Meljski Hrib 36, tel. (+386) 2251 38 66, [email protected]. If the points on your wish list are a laid back ambiance where no one cares about whether your D&G attire is real or a terrible knock-off, people of all ages (not just twenty year olds who spent an hour and a half getting ready to go out) and a real unbridled Slovene experience, you owe it to yourself to visit this place. All this while being able to order restaurant food while partying to a mixture of live Balkan music. It’s great. QOpen closed, Fri, Sat 10:00 - 04:00. Restaurant winter time: Th, Fr, Sa: 12:00-19:00 Admission €3. TAULEGBKXS

Satchmo C-2, Strossmayerjeva 6, tel. (+386) 22 50 21 50, [email protected], www.jazz-klub.si. Jazz joint in the classical mould deep down a cellar, where the players and crooners lose themselves in their music a world away from the concerns up above in reality. The floor level stage acts as the perfect leveller

between audience and performer and improvised sessions nourish the democratic mood of the venue sublimely. QOpen 09:00 - 02:00, Fri, Sat 19:00 - 03:00, Sun 19:00 - 24:00. JAEB

Stand Up J-3, Tržaška 38, tel. (+386) 70 99 33 99, [email protected], www.standupbar.si. One of Maribor’s more popular night spots, you’re guaranteed to find it completely packed on any given Friday or Saturday night, when a hip young crowd comes to dance to pulsating balkan beats and admire the whole scene reflected in what must be one of the largest faux-antique mirrors we’ve ever seen. Famous singers and other celebrities are known to drop by, and true to its name it also hosts the odd comedy night. QOpen 07:00 - 24:00, Fri 07:00 - 05:00, Sat 08:00 - 05:00, Sun 09:00 - 24:00.

Wine barsRožmarin D-2, Gosposka 8, tel. (+386) 223 43 180, [email protected], www.rozmarin.si. Both a shrine to the Styrian region’s superb range of wines and a wonderful place to actually sample them, and many others from different parts of the world as well. Provides snacks to go with the vintages too and also lays on evenings with special entertainment of which salsa dancing is one example. If the wine delights your taste buds (as it must, surely) then you can always take home a bottle from the store. The establishment naturally has a specialist on hand to help you make the best choice.

Vinoteka Maribor D-3, Usnjarska 10, tel. (+386) 40 191 901, [email protected], www.vinotekamaribor.si. One of Slovenia’s coolest wine bars is located along the banks of the river Drava in what used to be the city’s old water tower (or vodni stolp). The medieval interior is stunningly atmospheric, if a bit musty, while the selection of wine is impressive even by the elevated standards of Maribor. Private parties and group tastings can also be arranged. Q Open Mon-Thur 10:00-22:00, Fri-Sat 10:00-24:00 and Sun 10:00-17:00.

Bills itself as a place where you can get lucky, though it probably hopes you won’t, it provides 20 gaming tables and 400 slot machines for those feeling that good fortune is on the horizon. Also boasts a theatre with a lavish cabaret programme, which lines up acts from across the globe. A coffee room and two restaurants allow for vital periods of repose in between trips to the roulette table. QOpen 00:00 - 24:00. POAULEBXW

Adult entertainmentMetulj C-4, Mlinska 22. As soon as we found ourselves within the vicinity of this strip club located in the center of the city, a group of customers who had just left the club said in rudimentary but well intentioned English: “much money, no pleasure!”. Chuckling, we went in and after checking the service, the venue, and the utter boredom of the girls inside, we realized the wisdom of his words. You won’t find much to like here. LG

PoHorJE

including

Pohorje The mountain range just outside Maribor attracts skiers by the thousand during the winter, and is one of the region’s most popular destinations during warmer months as well, with its primal forests, waterfalls and lakes a paradise for nature-lovers. Such is the richness of flora and fauna here that the area attracts a good number of nature experts along with the tourists - keep your eyes peeled and you may be able to spot the largest butterfly in Europe. The area can be explored equally as well on foot or by bike and there is no shortage of restaurants and cafés to stop for a break or bite to eat. There’s also a cable to the top if you’d like to enjoy the views without the hiking.
