What to Do when Visiting Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia

If you are planning a trip to Slovenia, make sure to visit Ljubljana and spend a few days in the capital city. With the feel of a small town, this city is perfect for solo female travellers and visiting Ljubljana Slovenia is not only safe but friendly and colourful too. This central European capital is a hidden gem and is definitely worth a visit.

With a sustainable vision for development, the capital Ljubljana is one of the cities with green spaces of nature in both the heart of the city and outside. I loved my time here and share my favourite places to visit in Ljubljana and things to see in Ljubljana.

One of the reasons that Ljubljana is so beautiful is due to the design of the famous architect, Jože Plečnik. Similar to Gaudi's work in Barcelona, Plečnik's work is all around the Slovenian capital. And you can take a Ljubljana walking tour to see the Ljubljana places to visit. Starting from the Town Hall you walk through the historical city centre (the old town) admiring the Art Nouveau and Baroque architecture. A boat cruise is also included in the walking tour.

If you don’t want to walk around the city you can take advantage of the free four-hour bicycle hire or hop aboard the green urban electric train that takes you to all of the main tourist sites and each Ljubljana must see. ......

Our travel styles couldn’t be more different—I would feel dizzy if I attempted her pace—but I most definitely filed spots away that I wanted to see from her trip, and Lake Bled topped the list.

The second ones (me) somehow end up planning their walks around where they can get the next scoop. The best part? Ljubljana is small enough that you can turn an ordinary afternoon into your own little gelato tour. Walk through the old town, stop by the river, admire the colorful...  view more

Ljubljana, Slovenia: The Place I Wanted to Go To

Growing up, we acquired a book for the house shelves only I rummaged through titled 100 Great Cities of the World. This is where I first heard about Ljubljana and all I could think about was how I had to go there one day. I couldn’t quite remember why in my early teenage years those two pages in the book made such an impression on me. I recall reading there was a renowned University there and...  view more
