SNG Maribor
Slovenia
SNG Maribor is located in the core centre of the city where parking spaces are very limited (of course you can try your luck). In case there won't be any available drive few blocks away - for sure you'll find some. In other case park your car in the nearest garage on Vodnikov trg 5 (parking 1€/h)
