Shopping

One of the great things about this city is the fact that you can shop the old-fashioned way: strolling the city centre’s streets, ducking in and out of any number of high street stores, local brands and cute little boutiques. A number of stores have locations on the streets that abut the river, making this – if we’re honest- one of our fave shopping cities in Europe.

The main shopping streets in the centre of the city are uls. Breg, Zidovska, Hribarevo and Stari Trg. There are also plenty of stores on central Slovenska Cesta, and in the grid of streets between Slovenska Cesta and the river, and Mestni Trg on the opposite bank. Indeed, Mestni Trg is a cracking place to shop, with great little boutiques standing side by side next to cafés, bars and restaurants; shop, then chill out!

If you like want a mall experience however, head out to BTC City, a couple of kilometers from the city centre on the road to Maribor. Besides an enormous mall (City Park) there are also a number of warehouse-like outlets stores, as well as a water park and entertainment city.
