Holiday information

 

Ljubljana

Ljubljana is the vibrant, friendly capital city of Slovenia, located in the heart of Europe at a crossroads for traders and invaders alike. All have left their mark in terms of architecture and culture, in the cuisine and the character of the people. Despite hundreds of years of change, the city has managed to retain traces from all eras of its rich history, including the Roman, Renaissance, Baroque and Art Nouveau periods. The origins of the name 'Ljubljana' are shrouded in mystery – some say it stems from the Old Slavic name of the Ljubljanica River, while a more romantic theory is that it comes from the Slavic ljub meaning 'to love or like'.
Ljubljana is also famed as a city of culture and is home to many museums, galleries and theatres. It boasts one of the oldest philharmonic orchestras in the world, which saw Gustav Mahler as its resident conductor in 1881, while Slovene poet France Prešeren is remembered throughout the city. Today, Ljubljana hosts hundreds of cultural events, including ten world-renowned international festivals.

Sightseeing

The key to Inntravel holidays is flexibility. You can start on the day of your choice, and are free to add extra nights.
  • Explore at your own pace
    As you explore, you will be amazed by the variety of architectural styles, from the days of the Roman Empire to more recent Italian Baroque and Art Nouveau buildings constructed after the 1895 earthquake. Take a walk through these historic streets, perhaps crossing the famous Dragon Bridge and strolling along the banks of the Ljubljanica River.

    Narrow, winding streets lead to wide squares and St Nicholas’s Cathedral, or up Castle Hill to the 12th-century Ljubljana Castle, for panoramic views over the rooftops. There are plenty of bars and cafés in which to enjoy a glass of beer or one of the superb wines produced in vineyards just outside the city. Grapes have been grown here since Roman times.

    One of the most interesting parts of the city to visit is Metelkova Mesto, which began life as a barracks for the Austro-Hungarian army. Nowadays the buildings house art galleries and artists’ studios, intermingled with music venues and night clubs, plus an annexe to the Museum of Modern Art.

    All major museums are closed on Mondays.
  • Get about on two wheels
    The city operates a bike hire system, 'BicikeLJ', consisting of 300 bikes at 32 stations, never more than 500m apart. You can hire bikes for an hour for free (after registering) and thereafter pay a nominal hourly rate.
  • Ljubljana's environmental credentials
    In 2016, Ljubljana became ‘European Green Capital’, an EC initiative awarded annually to promote the efforts of cities in improving the urban environment. The jury was impressed by the significant transformation in sustainability made by Ljubljana over the previous 10-15 years, including local transport, bike priority lanes and pedestrianising the city centre. Progress has also been made in preserving and protecting the green areas which characterise the city and in the revitalisation of brownfield spaces.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Lakes and Julian Alps in Slovenia. The destination was wonderful and the people very friendly and relaxed. We did 6 days of walking back-to-back and probably should have taken an extra day somewhere to break it up - we were very weary by the end.

    Definitely recommend the add-on of Ljubljana - castle, visit, riverboat trip and wine-tasting all absolute musts!

    HIGHLIGHTS: Very good evening meals in relaxing surroundings at Restaurant Lipa in Kranjska Gora. The walk round the northern shoreline of Lake Bohinj from Ribcev Laz to Ukanc and the return by boat. A glass or two of wine sitting on the terrace of Hotel Vila Bled overlooking the lake with its castle and the island. In Ljubljana, our stay at the Pension Slamic, in particular our musical evening there and our leisurely strolls around the streets of the old city down by the river.

    HIGHLIGHTS: After a cold and soggy day cycling through beautiful Triglav park we came across an oasis, Farm Psnak serving Jota and pancakes to die for. The Michelin meal at Hisa Linhart was bursting with flavours. The unexpected delight of "Wednesday night fever" at Slamic was a bonus to an already brilliant holiday.

    In every case, the hotels were within easy walking distance of the most interesting part of the city and most of the attractions.

    This holiday exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed relaxing and interesting walks in this beautiful, diverse and unspoilt country. Planning and organisation through the Soca Valley and in the Lakes and Julian Alps was excellent. The bonus was the plethora of wild spring flowers everywhere. We were so pleased to have experienced Ljubljana at the end - it was the icing on the cake.

    Yet another wonderful holiday with Inntravel. Solvenia is such a beautiful country and so green, with superb scenery. It also struck me as to how clean it is - saw absolutely no rubbish lying around and hardly a rubbish bin anywhere - the locals are taught to take their rubbish home. The walking routes were amazing and I couldn't get over all the wild flowers in some of the mountain meadows - especially the Primula candleabra and the Helleborus around Kranjsa Gora - so beautiful. In particular I really enjoyed the walk from Ribcev Laz to Slap Savic and from Ribcev Laz to Bled. Bled is so beautiful and it is so worth while upgrading to Vila Bled - what a setting. I had a lovely meal in Restaurant Sova Bled - ate upstairs with great views out over the Lake - great atmosphere. I imagine that Bled will get very busy in high season. The hotels were all very welcoming but I would recommend in the evening eating out when staying at the Hotel Jerezo. To round my holiday off I spent 2 nights in Ljubljana. Such a lovely capital and so beautiful with the river running through the centre. You could sit for hours with a coffee or drink in one of the many outdoor cafes and just watch the world go by. Hope to return to Slovenia sometime in the not too distant future to see more of this stunning country. Thank you again Inntravel for another great holiday - travelling by myself I have so much confidence in the way you organise your holidays. Your instructions are excellent and all the information you give is what is required to go towards an amazing experience - thank you.
