Taxis at the train station?
Posted: Sat October 8, 2011 08:53 AM UTC
One of the trains which my daughter considers taking arrives very late in Maribor, too late to figure out the bus system in the dark after a long day spent in the train and on stations. Is there a taxi rank at the station? Is there else anything else to know about the taxis in Slovenia? I'm thinking something like the difference between the official taxis and the unlicensed minicabs in London.

We've booked our trains and hotels and I'm really looking forward to finally going to Slovenia. The more I read about it, the more I wish we'd have more time there.

Hi Christine, I don't know precisely about Maribor, but in Ljubljana, as in most other cities in the world, if you call (or have a hotel call and send you) a taxi, the price is usually reasonable, while those taxis waiting in front of stations have a higher rate. Perhaps you could ask your hotel if they would give you a phone number of some reliable taxi service?
We don't have unlicensed taxis, most are private and dispatched by call-centers, with unified prices.

Have a great time in Slovenia!

Thank you, Krista. So there are taxis waiting outside the station, it's just they are a bit more expensive than a taxi which has been ordered by phone? That's good to know.

Not too late, at least not for me, since I am going to see my daughter next week, so thank you very much for your tip.

Yes, taken from ‘Titos’ bridge. You see oldest part of Maribor called Lent (world oldest wine is there too).
If you will need a guide - I'm working in city centre ... ;)

My daughter has already told me how good the wine is in Maribor. And now it looks like the rain has stopped for a few days, even better.

We have similar wines like region round river Rhine. Truth, last 20 years they plant more and more sweet vines. It’s a pity that we have many small producers, so they can’t establish a well known mark and quality diverse between them. But in generally, quality is good or even very good. That is, I think, one of the reasons that Slovenians are one of the top European consumers too :D
Hope you will have enough time to visit one of ours so called wine roads. There are plenty of them near to Maribor (buschenschank or Slovene pušlšank).
Don’t miss view from Pohorje. When the weather is fine it’s amazing how whole city is ‘in your hand’. Afternoon and especially night view is amazing (at least for me).

Enough time? I wished this could be. But unfortunately this is only a very short visit, just two days. Well, there's always next time.
