PTUJ: The oldest town in SLOVENIA! 🇸🇮 - Worth a visit?

In this week's travel vlog we visit Ptuj, the oldest town in Slovenia. Is it worth a visit?
We start our day in Ptuj strolling through the streets doing some sightseeing. We admire St. George's Church and the Ptuj Clock Tower. After taking a look at the beautiful town hall of Ptuj we eat a quick breakfast at a bakery called Pekarna Hlebec. We devour some delicious Burek and the popular Slovenian cake Potica. We then pick up some drinks from GR Browery, which is a cool kombucha shop in town. We take our kombucha and cold brew coffee up the hill and drink it at Ptuj Castle. Next, we have a look at the costumes for the Slovenian carnival Kurentovanje inside the castle and also have a walk through the beautiful rooms the castle has.
Finally, we have a delicious Slovenian dinner at Gostilna Amadeus Restaurant, where we eat trout with buckwheat and Ptuj chicken. We end the day taking in the beautiful view of the town by the Drava river.

    Hahaha. We don't know that this particular bakery is owned by Albanians - only that the information Anja found online said that immigrants from Albania and Kosovo brought burek over in the 60s. I'm sure we'll have a bunch of people telling us otherwise. It was good though! If we ever film in Bosnia, we will make sure not to make that mistake. 😂

    We went to Slovenia without really knowing what to expect (especially since there really aren't a lot of good KZread videos that show Maribor or Ptuj). It was absolutely beautiful! We would love to come back and explore more. Hopefully, we can see some of the incredible nature next time.

    We personally know people who are six months or more behind! Hahaha. A month, to two months is actually pretty normal for most people. The people who don't do a lot of editing, and just vlog around a city without any B-Roll or music, are the types of people that can post real time. Otherwise, its near impossible - especially when we don't do KZread full time. At this point, it's just a side gig! Hopefully that will change in the future.

    You Will never get a real potica in albanian pastry shop.. they are only good at making burek and nothing else. Even the bread is not even 5% close to old style Slovenian bread(as our grandmother's used to bake them) or they still do. The only real potica is homemade and it takes almost half a day to prepare. But anyway enjoy your stay in our beautiful green country 😊

    It wasn't an Albanian pastry shop. I think people are misunderstanding what we said. I read online that Albanians brought Burek to Solvenia and that's what I was talking about. No idea if that's true. What I said was unrelated to the bakery in the video. The bakery we ate potica at in this video was very much Slovenian, though, I think. And it was delicious.

    @@wherearewe-yt no it was not Slovenian for sure, slovenian bakery doesnt make burek.. they are all albanians. Still the “potica” your eating doesn’t resemble to the real deal by any chance. You just dont get them in the stores, not even the supermarket( some will sell them but again, not even close to the real one) Its just something that have to be homemade or handmade and takes time to prepare it right. Last weekend was ester, they were selling them on local markets a day or two before. Ah well what can you do :)
