go to the creepy puppetry museum and then feed ducks in the city park

I don't think my father would be interested in that (we're going there together), but thanks for the suggestions.

is your father allergic to fun?

go to Kalvarija or Piramida for views

eat at Jack & Joe Steak and Burger Club

in the city centre you have the oldest grapevine in the world (Stara trta)

He's a normal old guy. This type of person isn't interested in puppets nor is he old enough to be interested in feeding ducks.

 

Thanks, is there also a good traditional Slovenian restaurant?

hmm

Rotovž was good but they've been closed for a while

otherwise I don't think I ate local traditional in Maribor itself (I'm there about two or three times a year, for business mostly)

 

now I can recommend you what to eat though – fried chicken is considered the traditional dish, and quick googling tells me you should go to "Gostilna pri lipi – Tašner" for that

 

btw check out the swans at riverside (take care not to step in their shit tho)

Swans were pretty cool, I even saw them flying. In the end we were eating at Grill Ranca right at the river. I ate some fluffy bread filled with beef and cheese with onions on the side. Was very good.
