Ljubljana Travel Blogs

I spend this weekend in Ljubljana and visited some of my family. On Saturday morning I went to city centre by bus and took some photos. Ljubljana organised "a day without a car" on that day, so the streets were almost empty. I wish this would happend more often! I also got a chance…

I got in to a 2hour trouble of finding my hostel here last night. The directions the hostel said that I should get off at the 5th stop of bus no. 9 but when the 5th stop came... boooo it wasn`t the same stop so I tried the 6th one and then... booooo not again. 7th came and wahhhhhhh not again so I …

Before coming here I couldn't even pronounce the name of the city (LOO-BLEE-YANA). Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, is a small, beautiful town. The old town reminds of Prague, but far less touristy.I spent my first full day there walking around the town, around the university area. While re…

This was for me the first time in Ljubljana and I must say I liked it immediately even though it was extremely hot - when we parked the car in Kongresni Trg we had 44 degrees. We found a spot in the heat which we had to one euro an hour for - which is rather fair in a city center. We…

I finally made it to Slovenia. Oh yes.

The Triple Bridge (Tromostovje) over river Ljubljanica is one of the symbols of Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia.   The central of the three bridges forming Tromostovje has stood in its place since 1842, when it replaced an old, strategically important medieval wooden bridge, which used to be …

Today was a Sunday and my final day in Ljubljana so I anticipated a fairly quiet day.  The city was deserted so I just wondered.  I went to see a Roman wall on the outskirts of the city plus I took a look at the "Dragon Bridge" in the centre. By the time I was ready to go up to Ljubljana…

-Still under construction- I need to put in order my head to remember details and interesting things to write about..I hope to do it soon.. Meanwhile some pictures to share..

Breakfast in SloveniaThe breakfast buffet at Grand Union Hotel is very nice -- we will miss it, and lovely Ljubljana, too. We checked out of the hotel and headed out of town. We are very close to Italy. It would be rude not to stop in and say hello. So off we go, to have lunch in Italy.

If only they didnt serve horsemeat at restaurants here, I might consider moving to Ljubljana. Its a lovely city...beautiful scenery, average food, nice people, great mountains all around. Pictures are included! We are off to Lake Bled tomorrow. ciao casey

Today is my last day in Ljubljana and my last day with Ben. Today is also the day that I will start travelling "alone." I say "alone" as I am not continuing along with any friends or people I know, but for the rest of my trip I met people along the way so lots of times I wasn't really "alone" …

For this part of our trip, we were planning on visiting a friend of Emma's in Innsbruck, Austria. That fell through and we were suddenly faced with a gaping hole in our otherwise tightly scheduled itinerary. We pulled out our guidebook and train schedule and looked at our options. Greece? No, too f…

A bit over a year later I decided to return to Slovenia, this time in october, the weather was a colder, but I had a great time again.

After spending 4 days in Italy, I headed for Slovenia-the country full of nature and nice people.
