Top Castles in Slovenia

Check out the cafe for a coffee and cake break. I tried the local cake and it was delicious – perfect treat while overlooking the city!

Make sure to explore the exhibition spaces inside... I spent too much time outside and missed some really cool installations...

If you’re on a budget, pack a picnic. There are plenty of lovely spots around the castle to enjoy lunch with a view.

I recommend grabbing lunch at the nearby restaurant. They have local dishes that are reasonably priced, and the view of the castle is a total bonus!

I suggest getting the audio guide. It was super informative and really helped me to understand the castle's history better without feeling rushed

Don't forget to check the weather before your trip. It rained on my visit, and I wish I had brought an umbrella for the outdoor areas.

My advice is to wear comfy shoes! The castle has some steep climbs, and you'll be walking around a lot. Trust me, your feet will thank you.

Don't forget to wear comfy shoes. The castle has some steep and uneven paths. I made the mistake of wearing flip-flops and it wasn't the best idea. Next time, I'll definitely choose better footwear.

I recommend visiting on a weekday if you can... It was way less crowded, and I had more time to explore without feeling rushed... Plus, the views from the top are totally worth it!

If you're looking to save some cash, try to grab a combo ticket for Maribor Castle and other local attractions. I wish I'd known about it before my visit—could've saved a few bucks!
