Maribor’s Castle Collections, Cathedral and Old Vine

Why go

This compact Maribor outing combines a substantial museum visit with two shorter stops in the historic centre. Start at Maribor Regional Museum, where the castle staircase and Knights’ Hall give the collections a distinctive setting. Arrange the museum entry before planning the rest of the day, allowing time for its guided permanent exhibition. Continue to Maribor Cathedral to study its exterior and square; enter only if worship and visitor arrangements permit. Old Vine House Wine Shop makes a relaxed final stop for the living vine, historical mosaic and regional wine selection. Decide beforehand between browsing and a tasting, since a hosted tasting needs its own arrangements and may extend the visit.
