Ljubljana Travel Guide

---

Ljubljana is a great choice in every season. In spring and summer, the weather is usually nice. In autumn, it has cozy vibes, and in winter, it feels like a winter wonderland. It is the capital of Slovenia and a wonderful walkable city with so much to do.

Where to Stay in Ljubljana

One of the best things about Ljubljana is the accommodation. Even if you rent somewhere away from the center, you’re still close to all the attractions, but you also get the peace and quiet to rest after a long day of exploring or to slowly ease into your day.

We stayed at the Apartmaji Čepon, and that was the perfect choice. The place has its own parking lot. The apartments are super clean and modern. They’re spacious, with two bathrooms (so no rush while getting ready :D), and they’re in such a nice neighborhood. Honestly, that apartment was an attraction in itself!

Things to Do in Ljubljana

Ljubljana’s center is really walkable, so you can see all the attractions in one day, but don’t rush. It’s a city to enjoy. Sit down for brunch at Norma 23. Enjoy the slow start of the day on a square in front of the church, people-watching and sipping your coffee. Once you’re caffeinated, you can start exploring.

Start at the Dragon Bridge and make your way to the Old Town castle. You can hike there or get a cable car that takes you straight to the top. The castle is a must-see in Ljubljana, with its long history and beautiful view of the entire city. There’s a dragon statue to greet you as you exit the cable car. And don’t worry if you get hungry. There are a few restaurants and a cafe in the castle courtyard.

When you get back down, head left towards the Butcher’s Bridge. There you’ll see many fun sculptures, as well as lockets – symbols of so much love.

Cross the bridge, and follow the river still to your left. Strolling down Ljubljana is always an amazing experience. On your way, you’ll see beautiful baroque and Art Nouveau buildings, attractive food spots, and the famous Triple Bridge that opens right into Prešeren Square. Take your time to admire the scenery before making your way to Makalonca, a bar where you can enjoy your coffee on water.

A little further down from the bar, there’s a beautiful Congress Square, where you can grab a photo with Ljubljana Castle crowning you over the hill above, or you can visit Hiša iluzij, the city’s museum of illusion, which, although small, offers many fun activities. It’s a must-visit, and there are also many cool souvenirs you can get at the entrance.

If all this walking made you hungry, check out Julija, a cozy restaurant tucked into one of the small streets of Ljubljana. It’s also within walking distance of the Congress Square, just on the other side of the river. That part of the city feels even more tucked in and whimsical. There’s something special to it.

Your Next Destination: Ljubljana

That concludes this little guide to Ljubljana, and the whole time, you would only be circling the castle hill. There’s so much more to Ljubljana. It’s one of those cities that would actually stun you with things you wouldn’t even look for or expect to find.
