Ljubljana; city of the little dragons.

by hundwalder - last update: Aug 6, 2005

Exciting and vibrant city.

Most of the people of Ljubljana don't really act like dragons. They are just nicknamed " little dragons " by their sports rivals. Actually the city as a whole has an industrious, intelligent, and friendly populace. The origins of the frightening looking green symbol of this great city dates all the way back to ancient Grecian mythology.

Ljubljana ( I am surprised that the city name has not been anglicized to Lyubleeyana ) will steal your heart away if you let your guard down. Perhaps it was enough that the country name was anglicized from Slovenija to Slovenia.

A nice photo representing the true character of this great city to be added soon.

ciao !
woops, wrong country for that greeting.

Pros:"Fantastic, clean city, full of charm."
Cons:"Could use some more budget accomodations."
In A Nutshell:"Where the Slavic and Germanic cultures meet."

 5 star tips, I loved your descriptions. Have to say I liked the metal door though. Loved Ljubljana and you did it justice :)
