Maribor

Greenwich has been twinned with Maribor since 1966.

Maribor is the second largest city in Slovenia and was in the former Communist bloc. It is a riverside university town and can trace its history back 1,000 years.

Skiing is an important activity for locals and tourists, and the biggest ski resort boasts 63km of slopes.

Local vineyards produce fine wines, and the town has a 400-year-old vine considered to be the oldest in the world.

Maribor hosts an annual Lent festival in June and an international festival.
