Hotels in Ptuj

Considered Slovenia’s oldest town, Ptuj charms with its medieval core and a calendar rich with tradition. The star of the show is Ptuj Castle, perched on a hill overlooking the red-tiled rooftops and the Drava River. Don't miss the chance to see the extraordinary Kurenti costumes at the Ptuj–Ormož Regional Museum, especially if you visit around February for the wild, bell-clanging Kurentovanje carnival. Strolling the main street, Prešernova ulica, leads you past colorful Baroque facades and cozy wine cellars known as *stara trta*.

This is a perfect spot for couples or solo travelers seeking a slower, authentic pace, though families will enjoy the castle grounds and river walks. The compact Old Town is the best area to stay, putting everything within easy walking distance. Ptuj is well-connected by train on the main line between Maribor and Ljubljana, and the A4 motorway makes it a straightforward drive.

Accommodation here leans towards intimate guesthouses and mid-range hotels, often with a historic feel. On HOTEVI, you can find options like the Hotel Mitra, located right in the pedestrian center, or the more modern, business-friendly Hotel Primus. Many places offer rooms with direct views of the castle or the quiet river.
