With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Maribor, 17 miles away, has to offer. Vinag, Mariborsko Pohorje and Lent alone justify the drive. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Celje, 20 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Celje Castle. (But we’re also big fans of Račka Gallery of Erotic Art and Breg.)
