Slovenska Bistrica is one of the oldest cities in Slovenia.

Slovenska Bistrica Castle with its park and Graslov Tower, the churches of Sv. Jernej, Mary of Seven Sorrows, and Sv. Jožef, the shrine of the Virgin Mary on Alfonz Šarh Square, and other buildings erected along the once busy Vienna–Trieste road give the city core a special stamp.
