Spending 24 Hours in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Nested right in the middle of a beautiful small country called Slovenia, Ljubljana is a hidden gem of European cities. The capital of Slovenia was named Green Capital of Europe not too long ago in 2016 and once you step your foot in there, you can see why. Cobblestone streets, green hills and huge parks surrounding the city. Ljubljana is nothing but a pedestrian-friendly city with a variety of attractions right in the heart of the city.

Due to the size of Ljubljana (population around 300,000), on my trip to Slovenia, I only dedicated one full day for its exploration. I’d say that’s a pretty good deal if you want to experience more of Slovenian nature than city life or your time in the country is limited. However, if you like exploring cities and spending more time there, I would definitely recommend staying at least 2 days in Ljubljana.

The closest airport is Ljubljana Airport which is situated only 25 kilometres away from the city centre. The airport connects Ljubljana to all major European and international destinations. If you want to reach the city centre all you need to do is hop on the bus no.28 which will take you right to the central bus station which is 10 minutes away from the Old Town. The journey will take up to 45 minutes and the tickets can be purchased for 4 euros from the driver. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
