Bus Hire in Celje, Slovenia

For a stretch of the 14th and 15th centuries, the Counts of Celje ranked among the most powerful noble families in Central Europe, marrying into royal houses and briefly holding enough land and influence to rival the Habsburgs themselves. Their castle still sits above the town on a hill overlooking the Savinja river, one of the largest medieval fortifications in Slovenia even in its ruined state.

Beneath the medieval layer runs an older one. The Romans knew this settlement as Celeia, and excavated foundations, mosaics, and street plans from that era turn up regularly as the modern city grows around them. Celje today functions as a working regional centre rather than a tourist showcase, which keeps its old town quieter than Ljubljana's but no less genuine.
