#europetravel Maribor, Slovenia, is such a hidden gem! 🍇 The city has a relaxed vibe, with beautiful architecture, charming squares, and the famous Old Vine House, home to the world’s oldest grapevine. 🍷 Entry to the vine museum was around 5 EUR, and the wine tasting was totally worth it! I also took a stroll along the Drava River and visited the stunning Maribor Castle. 🏰 In winter, the nearby Pohorje mountains are perfect for skiing. Maribor is a perfect mix of history, nature, and great wine! #Maribor #Slovenia #WineLovers #HiddenGem #OldVine #Travel

The true beauty of Kyrgyzstan can only be appreciated on a road trip. The Tien Shan mountain ranges, high-altitude passes, and Martian-like landscapes at 4000 meters above sea level are awe-inspiring. However, I'd never dare to take the wheel myself. Those who've witnessed my parking skills know that a desert is required for a U-turn. That's why I highly recommend embarking on this journey with a reliable tour operator. I was thoroughly impressed with @visitkarakol, and I can't stop recommending them. #VisitKarakol #Kyrgyzstan

If you ever travel to Slovenia, Maribor is a place to visit. A small, old town, surrounded by vineyards. The houses are low, no skyscrapers, just nature all around. Buy veggies at small markets, straight from the farmers or sit outside in the center of the city, enjoying good food or a nice drink. And of course go to the vineyards and try some wine. Accomodations should be easy to find, it's a small town. #wine #oldtown #nature
