What to expect
Ljubljana
Slovenia’s capital Ljubljana inspires every visitor with its rich heritage and setting. Its quaint old town fascinates with lush renaissance and baroque architecture, and its grandeur is noticed by extravagant Art Nouveau from Vienna. Of course, works of the most famous Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik cannot be overseen. The best view over the city is from the lookout tower of Ljubljana castle, gazing over the small squares, numerous bell towers and green parks. Admiring this lovely city is best from its river banks with numerous bridges (Plečnik’s Triple bridge being most famous one), or feeling the vibe of Ljubljana when passing through the open market and local cafés.
