What you can expect

Discover the charm of Slovenia’s oldest towns on this immersive day tour to Maribor and Ptuj. Travel through the rolling hills of the Štajerska region, where history, culture, and wine traditions blend into an unforgettable experience.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Ljubljana to Ptuj—Slovenia’s oldest town. Stroll the cobbled streets of Ptuj’s medieval center, where every corner tells a story. Visit the iconic Ptuj Castle perched above the Drava River, while your guide will share tales of Roman times, local legends, and Ptuj’s famous carnival traditions.
Next, continue to Maribor, Slovenia’s second-largest city and the heart of one of the country’s wine regions. Marvel at the imposing Maribor Castle, wander along the picturesque Lent riverside district, and see the world’s oldest grapevine—still producing wine after more than 400 years! Enjoy free time to sample local cuisine, browse artisan shops, or simply soak up the relaxed atmosphere of this university town.
From ancient castles to bustling squares, this tour is the perfect blend of culture, history, and authentic Slovenian hospitality.
