Maribor City train
Experience Maribor in a different way – on a 70-minute circular ride through the city centre. We’ll take you along an attractive 12-kilometre route with 9 stops, where you’ll discover Maribor’s top sights and most charming corners.
A ride on the city train is a real boMBa for kids and adults alike! It’s perfect for individuals, families, groups and visitors of all ages who want to get to know the city in a fun, accessible, informative and sustainable way.
For an entertaining yet historical exploration of Maribor, the electric city train starts its circular route at the Tourist Information Centre (TIC). From there it heads to the World’s Oldest Vine (a proud Guinness record holder!), continues to Magdalenski Park, Glavni trg (Main Square) and the UGM | Maribor Art Gallery, then passes Slomškov trg, Vinag and the Three Ponds, reaches the railway station, and finally returns to the starting point.
2 fixed stops
A regular 10-minute stop is at the World’s Oldest Vine, and a 5-minute stop at the Three Ponds, offering beautiful views of Maribor’s park landscape.

Maribor Route – Circular ride on the tourist train

The route starts at TIC Maribor, where you can find maps, tips and information. From here, we set off on a loop connecting the city’s highlights — from Lent and the Drava River to parks, castle paths and wine stories that Maribor has been writing for centuries.
Settle into a comfortable seat and enjoy the journey through the heart of Maribor. The ride passes the city’s most iconic spots — from hidden streets and lively squares to the green oasis of Maribor City Park, and the legendary World’s Oldest Vine.
2 Franciscan Church (Basilica of Our Mother of Mercy)
As you stroll through the historic old town, your eye is quickly drawn to the distinctive “red” church and monastery on Partizanska cesta and Bishop Maksimilijan Držečnik Street. A beloved city landmark with its twin towers and the lively rhythm of the Franciscan community, it invites you to pause for a moment—into silence, and perhaps to light a candle with a wish. Legend has it that the friars once received a cow from a farmer—without a rope. Ever since, they have worn a cord around their waist so they are always ready: to serve and to set out on their way.
