After many good meals, some outdoor activities are definitely required to walk all the food off. Walking around the old city center is a great way to admire the architecture of this magical city. If walking is not enough for you, rent a bike and head outside of the city, enjoying the bank of the river and the many small roads. The fact that Celje is off the beaten touristic path is to your advantage, providing you with the opportunity to get closer to the local culture.
