Great church tower with many onions

An interesting, beautifully renovated medieval church. When I was there, it was not possible to climb the tower.

Maribor's heart beats here: Surrounded by old facades, cafés, and the town hall, the main square is bustling most in the early evening. Perfect for a quick sit and watch life go by after a stroll through the city. Tip: The Astoria pastry shop has excellent cakes – it's best to sit outside with a view of the square.
