~ mesto navdiha ~ city of inspiration Maribor - mesto navdiha Maribor je mesto navdiha in pozitivne energije. Mesto se ne le prebuja, je prebujeno! Festival Lent, Borštnikovo srečanje, Festival Stare trte in številni drugi mestni festivali so dokaz bogatega kulturnega življenja v mestu.

Zgradili smo novo sodobno zavetišče za živali in novo lutkovno gledališče. Prometna ureditev je modernizirana s številnimi krožišči, mestno jedro s cono za pešce je razširjeno z modernim Trgom Leona Štuklja. Maribor se ponaša s sodobnimi športnimi objekti, kot sta nogometni stadion Ljudski vrt in Pohorska vzpenjača. Maribor je lepo in prisrčno mesto, v katerem je prijetno živeti. Imamo čudovito mestno jedro, enega najlepših mestnih parkov v Sloveniji, Pohorje, Dravo, vinograde, geografsko pa smo blizu tako morju, kot večjim evropskim mestom. Mesto je živahno, domače in polno optimizma. Ponosen sem, da sem Mariborčan in da je temu čudovitemu mestu ter zakladom njegove bližnje okolice posvečena ta knjiga.
