Piramida Hill: Chapel and Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

The pyramid was named after a stone pyramid that was destroyed by a lightning strike in the 18th century. From up here you have a great view of the city and the entire surrounding area. The panorama alone makes the climb worthwhile.

Maribor City Park

Highlight • Structure

The city park is huge compared to the size of Maribor. It contains a number of very old, wonderful trees, a gazebo, benches, a few lakes and a long promenade at the end of which a small kiosk with beach chairs and cold drinks awaits customers.

A wonderful place to stroll and chill out, especially when it is very hot.
Drinking water dispensers quench your spontaneous thirst.

Maribor Castle

Highlight • Castle

Maribor's City Castle on the north-eastern edge of the old town is the most beautiful and largest building in the city. Today it houses the Regional Museum. The castle, on the site of the castle begun in 1478 by Emperor Frederick III, was built from 1655 by Count Brandis and his successors and was continuously expanded until 1843. The clock tower dates from 1780. The castle was once the strongest fortress in the city, equipped with two courtyards, of which the one intended for the riding school is very large. The portal to the castle square is decorated with a large stone lion.
