📍 Destination Overview
Maribor on the Drava River is Slovenia's second city and the cultural heart of Styria. Its twelfth-century old town keeps a castle, Gothic church and baroque town hall. Home of the world's oldest grapevine, 400 years old and still fruiting, it anchors a wine region where vineyards cover the hills, and Pohorje is the country's biggest ski area.
