Itinerary
-
Explore the beauty of Celje
- Meet the guide to discover intriguing facts about Celje and its fascinating 2000-year-old history, supplemented by medieval legends about counts and interesting stories from the 19th and 20th centuries as you walk through its streets.
- Start from Krekov Square, where you will see the second oldest hotel in Slovenia, the railway station and the statue of Alma Karlin, the famous Slovenian writer and traveller.
- You will pass one of the 16 wells used in a medieval town through the city centre to the Tourist Information Centre. At the Main Square, marvel at the remains of a Roman villa, and then walk over to visit the Parish Church of St. Daniel - do you know why he is depicted with a lion? The guide cannot wait to share these stories!
- The next part of this interactive walk will take you along the Savinja river. At this point, you will look for the traces of a historically important occupation that no longer exists today.
- The guide will then take you to the Lower Castle, a magnificent piece of architecture which served as a residence for all the noble guests who arrived in Cilli on the invitation of Counts of Celje. This erstwhile important European noble family is now almost forgotten, but the guide can tell you some interesting stories about them. Celje also had its own Romeo and Juliet before the Italian ones gained popularity - and their love story is real, not fictional!
- The guide will conclude this tour in front of the City Hall, the first public building built by the Slovenian people for Slovenian people.
