In addition to beer, the town is known for Thermana Laško, a modern wellness center with a striking glass dome located right on the banks of the Savinja River. Tabor Castle towers over the town and now houses an excellent restaurant and a wine cellar with views of the valley. Every July, the town transforms into a massive festival venue for the 'Beer and Flowers' festival, featuring music and floral arrangements. The surrounding area features numerous opportunities for hiking, such as the local Hum hill, which provides a fantastic panoramic view. The combination of brewing culture, wellness, and outdoor activities makes Laško a versatile destination.
