Mariborka bookshop

Mariborka is a small independent bookshop at Koroška cesta 6 in the old town, the Maribor branch of the Ljubljana comics and graphic-novel publisher VigeVageKnjige. It is not a gay shop. It is listed here because its owners describe it as visibly pro-LGBT and a safe space for minorities, and it puts up a rainbow flag every June. That flag has made it a target. It was torn down in June 2024 and again in June 2025, and in August 2026 the front was splashed with red paint. The shop has kept the flag up, and the president and the mayor hung one together in Maribor after the 2024 incident. Come for comics, picture books and Slovene graphic novels.
