A vivid cultural city well-known for its festival life, especially traditional Pippi Longstocking family Festival. Here you can find the world biggest Tito Statue on the Tito Square, Coal Mining Museum (Awarded as European museum of the year; A 120-year-old elevator takes you 160 m deep into the former mine tunnels of the mine Škale) and Velenje Castle - all well worth visiting. Modern city architecture and picturesque lakes are good choice for taking pictures.
Velenje is the sixth-largest city of Slovenia, and the seat of the Municipality of Velenje. Velenje was owned by the Habsburgs for several centuries, which is reflected in the exceptionally rich legacy of castles and manors. The city is located in the traditional Slovenian region of Styria, among the rolling green hills of the Šalek Valley, with the Kamnik–Savinja Alps to the west and the Pohorje Mountains to the east. The city of Velenje was officially opened on September 20, 1959, according to a unified construction plan. Velenje is marked by mining with the Velenje Coal Mine, popular due to its longwall mining method, opened in 1875 and still operating, where over 260 million tons of coal have been mined. The old part of the coal mine is home to the Slovenian Coal Mining Museum.

One of the rare mills that is preserved functional. The municipality of Luče had over 20 mills before World War II, which have thereafter been replaced by more modern and efficient works - the old mills degraded. This mill has been first documented in during Maria Theresa's reign, making it about 250 years old. After a destruction by a flood in 1990, it has been renovated in 1996. An information is given and there is an 800-m hiking trail leading to a lookout.
