Old Bridge over the Drava

The Old Bridge is a steel structure featuring three distinctive arches that spans the Drava River. It serves as a functional link between Maribor's central square and the Pobrežje district, providing a vantage point for viewing the river and the surrounding urban landscape.

Getting There

The bridge is located within the heart of the city. From the Main Square, it is a short walk of approximately 200 meters, taking about 2 to 3 minutes on foot.

Time Required

Since this is a landmark crossing rather than a complex site, visitors typically spend 15 to 30 minutes here to cross the river and observe the architecture.

When to Visit

The bridge is accessible at all times. Visiting during the day provides the best visibility of the steel arches and the river. Like most central landmarks, it can become crowded during local festivals or peak summer tourist months.
