Historical Celje

Celje

Celje is not just a city – it is a walk through history, where every corner tells its own story. Overlooking the town stands the mighty Celje Castle, offering one of the most beautiful views of the Savinja Valley. There, you’ll feel like a true count or countess, as this was once the residence of the famous Counts of Celje.

In the town centre, the Princely Palace, now a museum, awaits you with archaeological treasures and stories that have shaped Celje.

Right in front of Hotel Europa stands a statue of Alma M. Karlin – the world traveller and writer, who, with a suitcase at her feet, still invites you to set out on a journey.

As you stroll through the Main Square, you will be accompanied by the lively city buzz, charming street cafés and colourful façades steeped in rich history. For even more discoveries, turn to the Old County Mansion, or simply relax by the Savinja River, where the city can be enjoyed at a slower, calmer pace.

Celje welcomes you warmly – not too big to overwhelm you, yet just the right size to win your heart.
