Last Updated on February 24, by Goya. Hey there, welcome to your Ultimate Ljubljana Guide! If you have seen my earlier post on Ljubljana , then you know that my love of Slovenia started quite some time ago. Our stay back in was short and limited only to the capital of this beautiful country, but it was enough to make both my brother and me determined to come back here as soon as we possibly couldโฆ Of course, then life happened, so my prompt!
So what did we do? Well, we just booked the last decent hotel room in Ljubljana for the week, got a 4-day car rental, and got ourselves on that plane with zero plans! And you know what that meansโฆ lots of anecdotes, reviews and recommendations! Perhaps we can even go for a day trip from Ljubljana? Or, if you are short on time, you may want to check out this Slovenia quick list instead.

Finding myself in the pastel-coloured streets of Ljubljana once again was an absolute joy! It was interesting to see how the city seemed to have changed so much, yet not at all at the same time:.
I noticed that some of the places from my last visit, like Robba , had closed down or perhaps, undergoing renovation as a quick Google Translate of the sign outside suggests? While some of the staples of the city, like Julija and the embankments on either side of the Ljubljanica river, remained as busy as ever. The first few days in Ljubljana, I had to work. Although it was not ideal for me, it was actually a pretty good way for Mister to wander around and discover the city on his ownโฆ Do all the touristy bits, so to speak , so that we can go and explore new er places together.
I did join him for lunch and dinner, of course. And it was actually during these lunch breaks that we found the most amazing pizza place more on that later and learned a very important lesson about the Slovenian way of living:. Forget about your quick Pret sarnies and Costa coffee. Like, listening to the sound of the sewing machine coming from the gift shop around the corner, while the smell of coffee and chatter of the tourists and locals alike fill the air yes, Cafetino , my love, I am talking to you!
