Where is Maribor?

Glavni trg / Main Square, opening of Magdalena 2008

UGM - Art Gallery Maribor, venue of festival exhibitions

Maribor is the second largest city in Slovenia located in the northeast, close to the national border with Austria. If you travel by car from Ljubljana the trip should not take you more than two hours; the distance between the cities is around 160 km and cities are completely connected by motorway. If you tavel from Ljubljana by train, the ultra-modern ICS is your fastest choice. Also buses are frequent, but boring and more expensive than trains.

Accomodation
Once you've got to the Maribor, you will need to find a place to stay. Experiences from the previous years show that it is wise to reserve a room as soon as possible since the best ones (the ones with best value for money ratio) are taken really fast.
