==Geography== ===Topography=== On the [[Drava|Drava River]] lies Maribor Island ({{lang|sl|Mariborski otok}}). The oldest public bath, still an important and often visited place in Maribor, is located on the island. There are two hills in Maribor: Calvary Hill and Pyramid Hill, both surrounded by vineyards. The latter dominates the northern border of the city. Ruins of the first Maribor castle from the 11th century and a chapel from the 19th century also stand there. The hill offers an easily accessible [[overlook|scenic overlook]] of Maribor and the countryside to the south over the Drava River. ===City districts=== The city of Maribor is divided into 11 districts ({{langx|sl|mestne četrti}}) of the [[City Municipality of Maribor]]. The [[Drava|Drava River]] separates the districts of Center, Koroška Vrata, and Ivan Cankar to the north from other districts south of it. The various city districts are connected by [[List of bridges in Maribor|four road bridges, a rail bridge, and a pedestrian bridge]]. {{Div col|colwidth=15em}} # [[Brezje–Dogoše–Zrkovci District|Brezje–Dogoše–Zrkovci]] # [[Center District, Maribor|Center]] # [[Ivan Cankar District|Ivan Cankar]] # [[Koroška Vrata District|Koroška Vrata]] # [[Magdalena District, Maribor|Magdalena]] # [[Nova Vas District|Nova Vas]] # [[Pobrežje District|Pobrežje]] # [[Radvanje District|Radvanje]] # [[Studenci District|Studenci]] # [[Tabor District|Tabor]] # [[Tezno District|Tezno]] {{Div col end}} ===Climate=== Maribor has a [[humid continental climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]]: Dfb), bordering on [[oceanic climate]] (Köppen: Cfb).<ref name = koppen>{{cite journal| last1 = Kottek | first1 = M.| first2 =J. |last2=Grieser |first3=C.|last3=Beck |first4=B.|last4=Rudolf |first5=F.|last5=Rubel| title =World Map of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification updated| journal =Meteorol.

Summers are generally warm. Average temperatures during the city's warmest month (July) exceed 20 degrees Celsius, which is one of the main reasons for the Maribor wine tradition. The city sees on average roughly {{convert|900|mm|1|abbr=on}} of precipitation annually and it's one of the sunniest Slovene cities, with an average of 266 sunny days throughout the course of the year. The most recent temperature heatwave record for August is 40.6 °C, measured at the Maribor–Tabor weather station by the [[Slovenian Environment Agency]] (ARSO) on 8 August 2013.<ref>{{cite web| url =
