Daily life

Maribor sits on the Drava River and is Slovenia's second-largest city; in 2012 it held the title of European Capital of Culture alongside Guimarães, Portugal. Daily planning moves between the riverside Lent district, the 13th-century Gothic Maribor Cathedral, Maribor Castle, built in 1478, and the Stara trta vine growing on a house wall in Lent, entered into the Guinness World Records in 2004 as the world's oldest vine at over 400 years old.

Transport

Maribor's own airport, Edvard Rusjan, sits a few kilometres south of the centre but has very limited scheduled service; most travellers instead use Ljubljana's Jože Pučnik Airport, roughly 100-130 km away by road. The city has no tram; transport relies on buses. The Drava River splits Maribor, and the Lent waterfront district is reached on foot via its bridges. (Sources: Wikipedia, Wikivoyage)
