Visit Ptuj: Discover Slovenia’s Oldest Town

Situated on the Drava River, Ptuj is Slovenia’s oldest town, celebrated for its medieval architecture, vibrant traditions, and rich cultural heritage.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, foodie, or nature lover, this enchanting town offers an unforgettable experience for everyone.

Roman and Medieval Heritage
Ptuj’s roots trace back to Roman times, when it was known as Poetovio, a vital military and commercial hub. Explore Roman ruins, including remnants of a theater, baths, and city walls. The Ptuj Regional Museum showcases fascinating Roman artifacts, offering insight into the town’s ancient significance.

The Ptuj Castle is over a millennium old, symbolizing the town’s noble heritage. Renovated and preserved, it houses museums featuring collections of historical artifacts and artworks. The castle also hosts cultural events, exhibitions, and performances, making it a hub for history and art lovers.
Vibrant Festivals and Traditions

Ptuj is famous for its cultural festivals, particularly the Ptuj Carnival, one of Slovenia’s oldest and most celebrated events. The Kurentovanje, its highlight, features Kurenti—mythical figures in sheepskin costumes—who perform traditional rituals to welcome spring.

Ptuj’s parks and natural areas offer peaceful retreats. The City Park, near the centre, is perfect for leisurely walks, while the nearby Maribor-Ptuj Nature Park provides hiking and cycling opportunities amidst rich biodiversity.
