Introducing Maribor
Although it is the nation’s second-largest city, Maribor has only about a third the population of Ljubljana, and it often feels more like a large provincial town than northeast Slovenia’s economic, communications and cultural hub. It has the country’s only other university – founded in 1975 – outside the capital, an important museum, a number of galleries, a theatre founded in 1786 and an attractive Old Town along the Drava River. Maribor is also the gateway to the Maribor Pohorje, a hilly recreational area to the southwest, and the Mariborske and Slovenske Gorice wine-growing regions to the north and the east.
