About The Basilica of Our Mother of Mercy

Tips for your visit

  • Allow about 15 to 30 minutes for the exterior and, if it is open, a calm look inside.

  • Dress modestly and keep your voice low inside, as it is an active church and not only a sight.
  • Maribor is easy to explore on foot, so pair your visit with a longer walk through the surrounding streets rather than a single stop.
