Lovely Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Our entry point to Slovenia was Ljubljana. This is an incredibly enchanting city that I had never heard of before we started researching this trip and certainly didn't know how to pronounce. What we discovered is that the 'j' is pronounced as a 'y' in Slovenian so Ljubljana is pronounced 'lee-you-blee-ya-na" (often shortened to 'loo-blee-ah-na' with locals). 

We spent two days in Ljubljana which, as lovely as it is, was enough to experience the fairytale like Old City and enjoy some of the amazing parks and restaurants outside of the tourist areas. For serious, this place reminds me of Arendelle from Frozen!
