Ljubljana

Ljubljana is a small nice city with a small, yet bustling center. The city is so charming and perfectly walkable, so no car is needed here. To get the best out of your stay here, I recommend that you stay one full day and night to see what all this city has to offer; and the best way is to stay somewhere in the city center to optimize your time. However, if you are a budget traveler, like me, finding a good hostel in the center can be tough, but I’ve the perfect one for you:) (click to request info). It is a hostel right in the center with all the day & night action literally just a step out of the door!

A walking tour around the city center is the best way to explore the city and I’ll give you here some tips to help you navigate the city. There are 2 main squares in Ljubljana’s city center; each on one side of the river: Mestni Trg & Presernov Trg, which are located in the pedestrian only zone. The city’s layout is along the river, so navigation is easy. I don’t suggest that you stick to a particular itinerary here, the city is very relaxed, compact, and there are hidden gems at every corner…so, armed with a good map (click to request info), just walk around, cross its famous bridges like: the dragon bridge and the famous Tromostovje bridge, visit the market, and have a bite or drink at one of the amazing riverside restaurants 

The only plan you, maybe, need to make; is if you want to visit the castle which lies on a hill overlooking the city. You can go up there by public bus or a funicular 

At night, the riverside restaurants become bustling with people, especially during the weekend, servicing nice cocktails and delicious food in an amazing setting

However, these places tend to close around midnight, so if you are up for a late-night drink, you should head to another area which is away from the river, yet only 5 minutes walking (click to request info)
