Orlikins goes to Maribor

by orlikins - last update: Aug 15, 2005

I was in Maribor on a day trip, have to admit I wasnt enamoured with the town.

In fact, I'll admit it, here and now -
I hate Maribor!!!!
I will never go there again. Twice was more than enough.

I went there one Saturday as a day trip from Graz, where I lived at the time (30 mins by train over the border) and the town was completely deserted. What that was all about I dont know.

I had guys shout things at me as I walked around the town and this old guy blatantly ogled my chest and shouted at me. I was really upset about that.

Actually, if you look at one of the comments below, you will see one from a local who clearly cannot cope with the fact that someone did not like his sh1tty little town. Well, you know what - that to me only reconfirms the fact that there are a LOT of very unfriendly and rude people in Maribor!

Maribor one of the very few places that I have visited that I have feared for my own safety.

I liked the view of the River here (shown above) and the weather was nice, but that's all I can say about it.

I hated it so much I cut short my day trip and took the first afternoon train back to Austria.

Pros:"What pro's?? it's near Austria."
Cons:"Nothing to do! Very unfriendly people"
In A Nutshell:"There are much nicer places in Slovenia to visit, don't waste your time here"

 You should have continued your journey more southwards to Varazdin, Croatia. Wonderful baroque city!
