Velenje has a vibrant nightlife and cultural diversity, though this small compact city has a lot more to offer. Quaint cobbled street paths, it's hard not to appreciate travelers' fascination of this city. To immerse yourself in Slovenian culture, you need to take a stroll through the city center. Velenje's city center is easy to navigate and well designed. Traversing it will allow you to take it in and appreciate its beautiful sights. As you walk through the City center - "Pedestrian Zone Promenada", make sure you note the modern ambient in the evenings and also the amphitheater along the river, a nwewer narrow bridge and ample seating and green areas in the center for folks to enjoy outdoor space - rather than just pass through it. Velenje is a young town designed in the 1950s, based on the Modernist ideal of the garden city. Look out for its attractions, such as the statue of Tito - the former iconic leader of Yugoslavia, Velenje Castle & Museum, The Coal Mining Museum and Velenje Beach which is also the Metaldays festival venue - or simply venture around the city on foot if you feel adventurous. There are many hiking routes around which will let you appreciate this corner of the Savinjska Valley.
European style coffee shops abundant throughout the city will let you experience coffee with a taste of neighbouring Italy and Austria. Many national coffee brands are also represented anywhere you venture here. Slovenia has a robust coffee culture, Velenje is no exception. On the list of best coffee places in Velenje we recommend is "Lucifer Cafe" with its great selection of coffee and chocolate! If you are looking for something stronger, bars and pubs should satisfy. One of the most well-known places to try local beer is definitely Skubeer Brewing, as mentioned above it should be on your list of beer places to try, with its unique combination of taste and experience. Slovenian beer has two major brands - Lasko and Union, with the former being of a more stronger and bitter taste and the latter a more gentle and smoother experience. Other regional brands worth trying are Pelicon, HumanFish, Lobik, Tektonik, Reservoir dogs and Mali grad. Other more well known brands that you will be able to find are Heiniken, Corona, Guiness and other European IPA's, lagers and stouts. In Velenje we recommend Plaza MiaMia cocktail bar - located on Velenje Beach, Space Bar, Bar Klepetulja and Bar Bonaca.
Camping at Metaldays, with its locations' beautiful and mesmerizing views and valleys - has always been a one of a kind experience. This year the camp will be divided into several zones; Glamping Camp Velenje, a zone for mobile sleeping units, a camping only zone, camping & parking zone, glamping zone, silent camp, pre-pitched tents, and even a zone for female visitors traveling alone. Camping in the festival camp costs nothing extra. Camping in Camp Velenje however costs extra. Every year, the festival offers a variety of food choices at fair prices, these include burgers, hotdogs, pasta, Indian food, pizza, pancakes, mexican and traditional Slovenian food. Oh, and also ice-cream! If you would like to venture into the town of Velenje, there are an abundant number of things to try out! Velenje can offer you some delicious things to try out; we recommend Solcava Cottage Cheese - mature and lightly salted cottage cheese mixed with cumin and fresh cream. Iron water - Water rich in iron, magnesium, and calcium, slightly acidic with a subtle metallic taste. Pumpkin Oil - dark green with a tinge of red. Rich in flavour and delicious, avoid cooking as it may destroy some of its beneficial properties.
