In a nutshell
Great, hidden-jewel of Europe
36 Reviews I was taken here by two lovely local VTers. We ate in the first room as you enter the place. I don't know how big it is but there seem to be several rooms and also an upstairs area. The restaurant is located in the heart of the old town near the major attractions. The restaurant is held in a...
11 Reviews The quintessential Slovenian fast food chain....and if you haven't got it right by now, I'll be quite worried....serving horse meat burgers! The chain started in 1995 and now has 3 branches: Tivoli Park (the original) as well as along Miklosiceva and Trubarjeva Streets. Popular with the students...
8 Reviews We headed to Metelkova after a long day of sightseeing. We were too tired to even think about making it a long night, so we just grabbed a couple of cans of beer from a place blaring out Joy Division and drank them sitting on the steps outside. If you're the quiet type and a bit worried about the...
7 Reviews In October 2007, one of the security guards (a bouncer) at Global brutally attacked and beat a 20-year-old club visitor to death. This happened just meters from the club entrance, right in front of the eyes of his friends. The incident occured at 3:30am in the morning, apparently after the...
27 Reviews Hi. If you will be using Ljubljana's public transport than make sure to buy urbana card. It is a magnetic card which you can refill on the automats that are near every important station in the city. This machines will accept coins, notes and even credit cards. You can buy the card in the main bus...
18 Reviews Ljubljana is the sort of town (it's hard to think of it as a city, even though it is) that lends itself to picnicking, and where better than to procure your picnic provisions than the main market in town? Slovenia is a country where you seldom run the risk of going hungry, and the market is packed...
5 Reviews BTC is the biggest shopping mall in Slovenia. It is with an easy reach by car but I think that there are the buses that go there as well. The car parking is huge so no chance you won't find place for your car. The mall is like the town for itself and although we spent there a quite lot of time we...
Beer rivalry - Lasko or Union?
9 Reviews Slovenes are generally quite laid back. But not when it comes to choice of beer. There are two major beers in Slovenia: Laško and Union. Apparently, loyalty for one's beer in Slovenia is somewhat akin to loyalty to one's baseball team in the USA. Showing support for Union in a Laško pub is like...
5 Reviews snap taken from the castle over the city ....looks nice and larger than i guess at first sight.. by the way the castle....mmm i didnt like so much ..its not like spanish or french castles ..it looks like a village with houses inside it-.. its just 10-15 min walking up or a touristic railway that...
1 Review Don't forget to get a free map of Ljubljana at the Tourist Information Centre. Among two city maps, it includes the locations and short descriptions of the main sights and an overview of the city bus network. The main Tourist Information Centre is located at Stritarjeva ulica in the Old Town....
1 Review In 1991, Slovenia released its own currency, called the "Tolar", abbreviated as "SIT". In March, 2004, 100 Slovenian Tolars converted to $ .70 Canadian dollars, or $ .52 US dollars, or .42 Euros. The SIT later became obsolete, when it was replaced by the Euro. As of June 2007, 1 Euro is worth...
7 Reviews One of the most famous tourist spots in Slovenia is the picturesque Lake Bled. It is situated at the foot of the Julian Alps; about 55 km northwest of Ljubljana. Bled can be reached by train or bus. The lake is surrounded by mountains and a steep castle hill. Slovenia's only island is situated in...
10 Reviews Walking about along the river Ljubljanica is a real pleasure, sitting sipping coffee is also delightful and just watching the people passing by. Though it was still a little cold it was amazing how the sun's ray's would warm you. Strolling through along the river side looking at the architecture...
