The old bridge
The Old Bridge, one of the most recognizable buildings in the city, celebrated its hundredth anniversary in 2013. In the former Austria-Hungary, the state road between Vienna and Trieste passed over the bridge. It replaced the former lower wooden bridge.
The Old Vine
In the heart of the old city centre on Lent, the oldest vine in the world still grows in front of the Old Vine House. The confirmed age of this “Žametovka” or “Modra Kavčina” vine is over 400 years, which won it a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest noble vine in the world still bearing grapes. The Old Vine is a symbol of the rich wine culture of Maribor, Styria, and all of Slovenia.
Glavni Trg Square
Glavni Trg or The Main square is the second largest square in Maribor, where the history and the hustle and bustle of town life flow into one. Here you can look at important sights of the old town core; sip coffee and sit out in the sunshine or visit some of the small shops. You can find it in the immediate vicinity of the Old Bridge and the street Koroška cesta, and it is one of the most important squares in the city centre.
