Ljubljana and Maribor by Train

Ljubljana, long overlooked by American travelers in favor of adjacent European capitals like Vienna and Budapest, is now a city on the rise. Visitors only need a few moments to walk the pedestrian-only streets in the city center to feel the old-world historic charm, coupled with the youthful energy exuding from the local university population. Beautiful and vibrant, travelers will quickly learn that Ljubljana has a lot to offer to all who visit. You can sip a cup of coffee and enjoy live music in the Metelkova mesto commune, sail lazily along the winding Ljubljanica River, browse art galleries and take in a ballet, all within walking distance from each other.

Visit and explore the Ljubljana Castle, Ljubljanica River, Metelkova mesto, Cathedral of St. Nicholas, Triple Bridge, Butchers' Bridge, Cobblers' Bridge, Congress Square, Preseren Square, Slovenska cesta, Mount Saint Mary, Tivoli Park, and so much more.

Maribor, Slovenia's second-largest city, feels cozy and provincial, but looks can be deceiving. Its young, cosmopolitan university population keeps the town lively year-round, and the city's emphasis on promoting the arts resulted in Maribor being named the European Capital of Culture in 2012. Travelers will enjoy strolling the pedestrian-only streets of the historic Old Town, located on the picturesque Drava River. The hills and valleys around the city are known the world over for challenging hiking trails as well as expansive vineyards.

Visit and explore the Main Square, Pohorje Ski Resort, Maribor Castle, Maribor Cathedral, Maribor Water Tower, Maribor Synagogue, Plague Column, Judgement Tower, Betnava Mansion, Maribor Regional Museum, Maribor Island, and so much more.
