This day and therefore also our last excursion in Slovenia started very early in the morning as our destination was a few hours away. When we finally arrived in Maribor we were positively impressed by the European capital of culture of 2012.
First we got a presentation about Maribor, and the volunteering work related to being a European capital of culture. After this interesting information, we participated in a guided tour by a woman from the tourist information. This tour made it possible to got some more impressions and a good overview of the city!
After the lunch break we had to do some questionnaires preferably with tourists according to Maribor as a tourist destination and especially as European capital of culture. It was interesting to talk to tourists and listen to their impressions and opinions, even if it was difficult to find tourists that were willing to answer the long questionnaire as they preferred to spend their time in the city of culture.
After conducting the questionnaires we had some time of before going back to the coast.
All in all it needs to be said that Maribor is a very nice city, which is definitely worth to be visited. For us it was very interesting to see how being a capital of culture can change a city and that Maribor really used this chance with organisinga lot of events and activities for their guests.
Good bye Maribor, see you during our next visit!
