Old Castle Celje

Old Castle Celje is interesting castle above city Celje open for tourist visits. In summer there you can see theatrical performances, concerts, etc. You can walk on the castle walls, visit wedding hall and scriptorium, sit down in coffeehouse. There is road to the castle but you can also walk there from old town of Celje. It takes about 30 minutes to come to Old Castle Celje by Pelikan's path. From the castle is a very beautiful view on Celje and neighbourhood.

Ptuj

Ptuj is interesting old town that exists even before Roman time and lies near river Drava. In the town you can see still many remains from Roman time. I suggest you to walk through old town centre and see Minorite Square with Minorite Monastery, City Square (Mestni trg) with City Hall, Slovene Square (Slovenski trg) with City Tower, etc. Above the city is Ptuj Castle with wonderful view of the town with Ptuj Lake. Must see visit is also Castle museum with many nice rooms and also wine cellar where you can taste wines from neighbourhood. For wine lovers is must see destination Ptuj Wine Cellar where you can see big old barrels in the underground of the city with tasting wine at the end. Just near the town Ptuj you can visit Terme Ptuj with many outside pools and good welness offers in Primus Hotel.

Sneznik Castle

Sneznik Castle is a very romantic castle in the Inner Carniola. It's nice to walk on the path around the castle, watch pond with ducks but I suggest you to take time and also go on tour inside the castle. Sneznik Castle still has original equipment in all rooms so it is interesting to see that. Tour guide will also show you some old mechanisms that was installed for communication in the castle. So you will see how master called servants and how servants know in which room is master. Nearby is also some museum. And not so far away is periodic Slivnica Lake that is also interesting to see.

Piran

Piran is for sure one of the most beautiful cities in Slovenia. It is old mediterranean town located near Adriatic Sea. In Piran you can see some nice old squares like 1st May Square, Tartini Square and Brotherhood Square. All of them are surrounded with nice old buildings. It is nice to sit down at some restourant on Preseren Quay and breath fresh sea air. St. George Church is located on small hill above the city so it would be hard to miss it. From there is nice view in Strunjan direction. I suggest you also to climb on town walls where is good view on the city and around.
