Slovenia - Skofja Loka and Kranj
Half a day stop in two Slovenian towns on the way to the airport. Well worth the visit.
You can catch a bus to Škofja Loka from Ljubljana. The oldest medieval town in Slovenia. From the bus stop take a walk over the 14th century Capuchin Bridge to the centre. Let yourself guided by the narrow streets. The 13th century Parish Church of St James is not to be missed as well.
From the same drop off point, there is another bus that goes to Kranj, the 4th biggest city of the country. Time only allowed me to go in the old town, but one can easily spend a full day here. Plenty of parks to explore, rich architecture and many restaurants to get a taste of Slovenian cuisine.
There is public transport connecting all these town, but even in summer they're quite rare so make sure to check the time table in advance. If you are in a rush a taxi might be a better option as the airport is quite close.
I hope this short video gave you a taste of Slovenia. Thanks for watching.

I think this is quite popular so that Bush and Putin are coming to Slovenia. It's important. We are small country and maybe the others will get to know us better when they come.

STORYLINE:
U-S President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin have arrived in Slovenia for their first-ever meeting.
Bush and his wife Laura arrived about 12:30 p.m. (1030 GMT) in this small Alpine republic from Warsaw, Poland.
Putin landed in Ljubljana about half an hour later.
The two leaders will hold meetings for about two hours in a medieval castle, just outside the Slovenian capital.
Bush will depart for Washington later on Saturday at the end of a five-nation European tour that began on Tuesday in Madrid, Spain.
Aides to Bush said they expected no breakthrough agreement on Saturday on the U-S president's plan to set aside the 29-year-old ban on national missile defences and erect a shield against missile attacks.
Russia opposes discarding the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty and it says the planned National Missile Defence system would generate a new nuclear arms race.
Putin and Bush are also expected to discuss other thorny issues like NATO enlargement and the Balkans and the Middle East.
Officials are saying the meeting will primarily be for the two leaders to get to know each other, rather than aiming to reach any firm agreements.

ARGGGGG This is in Slovenia, not Slovakia. When you travel so much and hit many cities its hard sometimes not to get confused. But there are no excuses. I am sorry. Slovenia is GREAT!
From Wikipedia
Kranj (pronounced [ˈkɾàːn] (listen), German: Krainburg[3]) is the fourth-largest city in Slovenia, with a population of 37,373 (2015). It is located approximately 20 kilometres (12 miles) northwest of Ljubljana. The centre of the City Municipality of Kranj and of the traditional region of Upper Carniola (northwestern Slovenia) is a mainly industrial city with significant electronics and rubber industries.
The nucleus of the city is a well-preserved medieval old town, built at the confluence of the Kokra and Sava rivers. The city is served by the Kranj railway station on the route from Ljubljana to Munich, Germany (via Jesenice and Villach, Austria) and a highway. Slovenia's national airport, Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (in Brnik) is also very close to Kranj, considerably more so than its nominal client, Ljubljana.
Kranj was attested in written sources in the 5th century and c. 670 as Carnium (and as via Chreinariorum in 973, actum Kreine in 1050–65, in loco Chreina in 1065–77, and Chrainburch in 1291). The Slovene name is derived from Slavic *Korn’ь, borrowed from Romance Carnium in late antiquity. Like the Latin regional name Carnia, it is derived from the northern Italic (Celtic) tribe known as the Carnī (Greek: Κάρνοι). The name of the tribe is probably derived from the Celtic root *karno- 'peak, hill, pile of stones'.[4] The German name of the town was Krainburg.[5] The name of the historical region of Carniola is a Latin diminutive form of Carnia.[4]
Archaeological finds show that Kranj was settled in prehistoric times. Discoveries include a bronze ax found in Drulovka, Hallstatt-era graves in the northern part of the town above the bank of the Kokra River, testifying to Illyrian settlement, and a burial site in the southern part of the town above the left bank of the Sava River, indicating a Celtic settlement. The Romans founded the settlement of Carnium at the confluence of the Sava and Kokra. In the 6th century, a major Germanic settlement stood at the same site, and an Ostrogothic cemetery was discovered nearby. The Gothic settlement was continued by the Lombards and existed until c. AD 580, when it was destroyed by invading Slavs.[6]
Traces of the old Slavic settlement (a Slavic burial site) date from the 9th and 10th centuries. As the seat of the margraves of Carniola in the 11th century, it was the most important settlement in the territory. The town itself is believed to have developed in the early 13th century; citizens of the town of Kranj appear in a document from 1221, and Kranj was officially referred to as a town in 1256. It was the seat of a court whose jurisdiction extended between that of Radovljica and Kamnik. In 1414 a decision was issued relieving the citizens of the town from paying tolls. In 1422 an ordinance required houses to be built of stone to prevent fires. A parish school was established in Kranj in 1423, and the same year the right was granted to Kranj to elect its own judge. Kranj was laid waste in 1471 in an Ottoman attack. Emperor Frederick III granted Kranj the right to collect tolls in documents from 1488 and 1493, and a 1493 document also granted the town the right to hold fairs twice a year. The town hospice records date back to the 15th century.[6]
Crafts developed in Kranj during the Middle Ages. Mills first developed along the Sava and Kokra rivers, and this was followed by butchers, fur merchants, hide and wood processors, and then weavers of canvas and woolen cloth. Habsburg efforts to maintain Vienna's monopoly on trade with Italy resulted in trade routes bypassing Kranj.[6]
Kranj was affected by peasant revolts in the 16th century; the leaders of the 1515 peasant revolt were beheaded in Kranj, and in 1525, when a new revolt threatened Carniola, hussars commanded by Johann Katzianer occupied the town and caused more damage than the Ottomans had inflicted half a century earlier. In 1668 half of the houses in Kranj were destroyed by a fire, and the entire town burned in 1749. Kranj was affected by plague outbreaks in 1552, 1557, 1625, 1627, and 1657. In the mid-16th century, most of the townspeople converted to Protestantism; the merchants of Kranj opened a Protestant school and Slovenian books by Protestant authors were imported from Germany. The Protestant Reformation in Kranj was led by Gašpar Rokavec, who was succeeded by Jernej Knafel after his death. Knafel was forced to withdraw from Kranj to Brdo Castle during the Counter-Reformation.[6]
Economically, teamster services developed in Kranj in the 16th century, with connections to the rest of Upper Carniola and Carinthia. There were also several blacksmith workshops and two foundries along the Sava River.

Slovenia: Pro and anti-Russian protesters face-off in Ljubljana
Dozens of pro and anti-Russian protesters faced off outside the Russian Embassy in Ljubljana on Saturday, as Russia’s President Vladimir Putin visited the country.
The pro-Russian contingent consisted of members of Slovenia’s Socialist Party. One pro-Russian protester denounced Ukraine as a great example of what happens when fascism gets stronger,” adding this is why we are against rallies like this one - organised by Ukrainian fascists supporting fascist Ukrainian authorities.
