About Ptuj

Ptuj is the oldest Slovenian town. As early as in Roman times, it was already an important town and a driving force for the whole region. Thanks to its rich cultural and natural heritage, Ptuj is one of the best-known tourist destinations in Slovenia. Ptuj’s participation in the ECOC project is based on its rich and proud tradition, while the town is hoping to gain new dimensions for the future of Ptuj and its inhabitants.

Ptuj joins the project as a proud, ancient city, full of culture and projects, the most famous being the Kurent Carnival, one of the largest ethnographic festivals in this part of Europe.
