The old town of Ljubljana is a perfect place to visit!it was my first time there but I stayed only one night !for this I will visit Ljubljana again for sure
Compare to other capitals in Europe, the Old town is not only beautiful, but very well preserved and not crowded. The river is gorgeous and you can find many local restaurants, boutiques and activities next to the river and in the old town. I recommend walking around the Old Town and the river for a full pm. My favorite capital in Eastern Europe.
We climbed on feet since the path was not too steep and long. The walking route is nicely arranged, you can easily reach the fortress and the old town at the top of the hill. The view on the city is awesome, especially during the sunny day-as was the day when we decided to take this tour.
Ljubljana and Slovenia were a very pleasant surprise. Slovenia is a small, very picturesque country on the border with Italy and Austria with the Julian Alps as a natural border, the most water rich country in Europe. It looks very fertile with neat farms, green fields, dense forests, lakes (Lake Bled) and the snow covered Alps as a backdrop at its Western end.
Ljubljana is the capital city, not really a tourist hotspot but has enough to keep you amused for a few days. The narrow Ljubljanica River flows through the tourist centre and a walk along its tree lined banks is rewarding as there is an extensive range of riverside cafes, bars and restaurants. It has a nice atmosphere and a few impressive looking buildings. Very Germanic due to its proximity to Austria. There are not a lot of tourist spots; the extensive central markets, the hilltop Castle (€15 adult, €10.50 child/senior including the funicular) and perhaps a day trip to Lake Bled (€12.50 return for a 1 hour trip on the comfortable local coach.) The City didn’t rate too well on my Tourist Centre Graffiti Shame Index with 7 shame points on a maximum scale of 10.
Still a lovely country and a nice city for 2-3 days before moving on to Austria, Hungary, Italy or Croatia and the Slavic countries
We spent the whole day walking the old town and climbed the hill to the church and had a birds eye view of the old town. We had a delicious Slovenian dinner to end the night.
