Ljubljana, Slovenia: Happy Hodgepodge
More info about travel to Ljubljana: Being the midpoint between the Slavic, Germanic, and Italian worlds gives Ljubljana a special spice. This tiny town has only about a quarter-million people, but it's by far the country's largest city, cultural capital, and a charming place to kick off any Slovenian trip.

10 Things to do in Ljubljana, Slovenia Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Prešeren Square is a central meeting spot in the heart of the Old Town, so it made sense to start our tour of Ljubljana here. You’ll find the Franciscan Church of the Annunciation, lots of gelato shops, and the baffling bridge we just mentioned.
As for the reasoning behind the Triple Bridge and the famed dragon bridge, which is guarded by four dragons.
Ljubljana’s Central Market is another spot worth checking out.
We needed to sample some Slovenian food so we went to Allegria.
Sam ordered Zlikrofi (zhlee-krofi), a Slovenian dumpling stuffed with potato + lamb goulash along with Slovenian sausage with cabbage & potatoes.
Ljubljana Castle, which sits on Castle Hill overlooking the city. Built as a medieval fortress in the 11th century, Ljubljana Castle has seen many redesigns and renovations. Climb the Outlook Tower for 360 degree views of the city.
There are departures for cruises down the Ljubljanica. We boarded a cruise directly underneath the Love Lock Bridge, which is actually called Mesarski Most. It was our favourite activity in Ljubljana and it was a super relaxed way to watch the city.
Metelkova is home to the best street art.
One place we really enjoyed was Sarajevo 84, a restaurant specializing in Balkan cuisine. The portions massive & everything we ordered was delicious.
We had a feast featuring: grilled meat with pita and onions, baked beans and sausage, roasted peppers, and a flaky pastry stuffed with cheese. It only came to 23 Euros.
Speaking of galleries and museums, a few you’ll find include: the National Gallery, the Museum of Modern Art, and the National Museum of Slovenia.
We finished off at Tivoli, which is the largest park in Ljubljana.
And that’s it for our time in Ljubljana. Our visit was short, tasty, and relaxing, and we’re really glad we made some time to visit this underrated capital.
Now you guys know the drill; if there are any other things to do in Ljubljana that we may have missed in this travel guide, feel free to share your suggestions with fellow travellers below.
This is part of our Travel in Slovenia video series showcasing Slovenian food, Slovenian culture and Slovenian cuisine.

Ljubljana Walking Tour: Explore Slovenia's Charming Capital City by Foot
Chilled out, gorgeous, safe. Ljubljana has to be one of the most charming and relaxed cities I've visited in Europe.
Join me on this bright summer day as I walk through the old town of Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, and explore some of the most popular landmarks and attractions.
Note: I probably mispronounced some names/areas but what I hope to do in this video is give you an insight into how beautiful Ljubljana is, and give you a feeling of what it would be like walking through this amazing place yourself.
Personally, what I loved most about Ljubljana was the architecture, accessibility and eco-friendly status of the city.
I really enjoyed walking around the city centre as it has been closed off to vehicle traffic, creating a safe, relaxed atmosphere for pedestrians and cyclists to get around freely.
I was surrounded by brilliant architecture all around me, and the locals whom I spoke to were incredibly friendly and spoke perfect English.
Ljubljana is also one of Europe’s most eco-friendly and “green” cities and was crowned the winner of the European Green Capital Award in 2016.

All of this can be done in a day allowing you to return to Ljubljana in the early evening.
Let's find out what makes Lake Bled one of the most popular day trips for visitors traveling in Slovenia.

Lake Bled Travel Guide | Day Trip from Ljubljana, Slovenia Video Transcript:
Lake Bled is probably the most popular day trip you can take from Ljubljana. This is a lake that sits on the Julian Alps, and in the middle of the lake you have a small island with a church - it’s about as picturesque as it gets and it draws massive crowds, but first, the journey there.
Bled Castle is a medieval castle that was built on a cliff rising 130 meters over Lake Bled. According to written sources, this is the oldest castle in Slovenia, first being mentioned in a document from the year 1011. The castle is set up around two courtyards which are connected with a staircase. Once you’re there, you can visit the chapel, check out some of the exhibits, watch a demonstration at the castle forge, or eat at the castle coffee shop or restaurant.
After the castle visit, we hiked back down and started our walk along Lake Bled because we were still feeling pretty stuffed from lunch. Little did we know this would take us several hours to complete.
After eating our slice of Bled Cream Cake, or Kremsnita, it was finally time to arrange a boat ride to Bled Island. While you can rent your own row boat to take out on the island, we chose to pay the 14 Euros per person to have someone else do the hard work. However, if you’re with a group of friends or travelling with family, it’s definitely cheaper to just rent a boat and row it yourself.
Bled Island is very small and it got pretty crowded even though it was low season. Forty minutes turned out to be plenty of time to climb up, have a look around, and enjoy some ice cream.
Now one last piece of advice: we visited in the off-season and at the end of the day, we found out there were not enough buses to transport everyone from Lake Bled back to Ljubljana.
We weren’t able to get on one bus because it was full, so we waited an hour and a half for the next one. By then, more day-trippers like us had gathered, and once again, not everyone could get on the bus, leaving a lot of people stranded, having to find a taxi or other alternative.
There was a lot of pushing and shoving, and many visitors with prepaid tickets were visibly upset.
Because our bus was full, this also meant that even though there were several scheduled stops on the way back to Ljubljana, we couldn’t pick up any passengers along the way, many of them who had been waiting for hours.
Lake Bled has experienced a boom in tourism, but the infrastructure to transport people hasn’t quite caught up yet. After a nice day visiting Bled, getting out of there proved to be very chaotic and stressful. Hopefully things will change in the future, but until then, know that leaving at the end can be tricky.
This is part of our Travel in Slovenia video series showcasing Slovenian food, Slovenian culture and Slovenian cuisine.
Music by NGL:
Ljubljana Slovenia
There is always something to do in the small Slovenian capital city of Ljubljana. Museums, river tours, fresh food markets, food tours, and the weekly open kitchen are among the many possibilities in this charming European town. Rent a bike to explore the city, visit the local brewery, and stroll through Tivoli Park at sunset to see the open air art gallery.
The Best of Slovenia
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide | Little Slovenia is the least visited and most underrated of Europe's alpine countries. From its prosperous capital of Ljubljana, we enjoy the mountain resort of Lake Bled, venture into the Julian Alps for natural thrills mixed with World War I history, go spelunking in a gigantic cave, and swim with Slavs in a charming Adriatic port.

Ljubljana Apartment Tour in Slovenia
Come join us for our airbnb tour of our apartment in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Booked at the very last minute, which is not typical for us, we were lucky to find such a nice place although we did pay more than we typically like to for an apartment.
Airbnb Discount Code:
Where we stayed:
Located just a 15-20 minute walk away from the heart of the old town of Ljubljana, Slovenia we stayed in a quiet neighborhood and enjoyed the spaciousness of this particular apartment. It featured one of the nicest kitchen, workspace and living combination we've had all year.
In terms of visiting Ljubljana we'd highly recommend it. The capital of Slovenia is our own opinion one of the most underrated cities in Europe we've visited on our travels this year. Coming in the fall, like we did, is something we'd highly recommend as the temperatures are comfortable and the autumn colors are gorgeous.

Ljubljana Apartment Tour in Slovenia Video Transcript:
It is time for another apartment tour. This one coming to you from Ljubljana, Slovenia. Yeah, it sure is and this apartment has been awesome. We've stayed here for a week kind of following that theme of recently. We've been staying in places for roughly a week usually. And so yeah this place has been really comfortable so we'll give you a full tour.
Alright, so right now we're at the front door. Yep. And as soon as you come in the first door is to the right. The first thing is the bedroom. First thing is the bedroom and this has been a really nice bedroom.
Like actually one of the biggest faults I've had of the most recent airbnbs we've had. The apartments have been nice but the beds have sucked. Like they've been really uncomfortable or just something has been wrong with the mattress and either it has been too soft, too hard whatever. But this has been like a dream to sleep on.
And the next room off of the hall is the first bathroom. First of two bathrooms. Yeah. So let's go in. It is a bit of a strange bathroom because here that is not a toilet. Yeah, that is true. We have a bidet I believe it is called. It is a really small bathroom because there are two of them. But we do have two sinks. So this is the first sink. Brushing our teeth here obviously. As you do. As one hopefully does.
And then over here is the shower and the bath. Yeah. It has been a really nice shower. Really good water pressure. And then we also had a huge kitchen as well which was amazing. Like this is one of the bigger kitchens we've had in awhile.
You can see here that they have three coaches basically. One of them being big and I basically claimed this area as my workspace. Sam's work desk. I've been working here. That is my computer and uh yeah it has just been really comfortable. This place has been like it is quite spacious to be honest and that has been really nice. It has just allowed us to kind of like throw our stuff all over the place and feel a bit more at home. It has been really good.
And that brings us to price point. This place was a bit of a splurge. It was just under $60 US dollars a night. And we booked it very last minute so we were actually even lucky to find a decent place.
Ljubljana is cute and charming and it is just so chill here. It is just like a great city especially if you've been visiting a lot of bigger cities in Europe this is the kind of place where you would come to relax a bit more. A very nice change of pace. It is not busy here at all and is nice. That is it for us from Ljubljana, Slovenia.
