I travelled from Croatia via Slovenia to Italy (Mediterranean Europe) in August 2004. After Zagreb in Croatia I visited the Slovenian capital Ljubljana for 4 days. With only 350.000 inhabitans it is one of the smallest European capitals.
Ljubljana has a nice Baroque Old Town with many historical and architectural sights. The Castle Hill and the river Ljubljanica give the town its relaxing atmosphere; whereas about 50.000 students make the city young and lively.
Ljubljana's central location in Slovenia makes it a good starting point for daytrips. I took a train trip to Bohinjska Bistrica and spent some time in both Bled and Skofja Loka.

Thanks for visiting my Siauliai and Luxembourg pages, Holger. Great tips again here - Ljubljana looks very impressive with all its squares and bridges, and Lake Bled looks as picturesque as any lake I could imagine! Excellent work! :-) | Tripack Wed May 28, 2008 19:56 UTC
Small is beautiful, your review on Ljubljana convice me to add this destination on my wish list. May be in winter as I would discover some Slovenian ski resorts. Thanks for your refreshing tip on Radenska mineral water ;-) |
