This postcard from Maribor says only Kuzno znamenje iz leta 1743. Modern Maribor is a city with a university, diocesan seat, museums, concert and congress centres, shops, international airport, famous park, sports and recreational facilities etc. It is thus trying to develop high quality tourism. This relies primarily on good wine and cuisine and the well-preserved city core which reflects the images of centuries. The pulse of the city is reflected in Maribor streets and squares.
Maribor is the centre of south Å tajerska viticulture and viniculture, which produces the highest quality white sorts. Kalvarija, a hill which protects the city from the north wind, is mantled in grape vines which literally sprout from the city, including Stara trta, the oldest vine in the world, which has already been growing for more than 400 years as a tourist attraction on the banks of the Drava in the old, renovated town core.

This is a colorful postcard showing Maribor, Slovenia. Maribor is the second largest city in Slovenia. It is also the economic and cultural centre of northeastern Slovenia. It is situated at theStara trta cross-section of traffic routes leading from Central to southeastern Europe, and from western Central Europe to the Pannonian Lowland.
Maribor is considered to be a cheerful, friendly city. Some relate this pleasant situation to its extensive wine-growing regions that routinely invite visits from Maribor residents. These vineyards are part of the natural beauty of the city, along with the Pohorje forests, the valley of the Drava river, the Kozjak and the Kobansko ravines, or the Slovenske Gorice hills and fields at the southeast of the city.
