Where is Maribor

Maribor is the second largest city in Slovenia located in the Northeast, close to the national border with Austria. Here's how to get there.

Car

All major European motorways via Klagenfurt, Graz (Austria) or Trieste (Italy) are connected to Maribor.

Although not by motorways, Maribor is easily reachable also through Zagreb (Croatia) if you are coming from the Southeastern parts of Europe. A bit bigger adventure is traveling by roads from the Eastern parts of Europe (through Hungary).

Since Slovenia is not big you can always try hitching. If you venture out on Friday afternoon when students go home for the weekend, you may wait for a ride a bit longer, but also make friends.
