Travel Report Slovenia: Part 2
Strolling and enjoying life in Ljubljana
In Slovenia's capital Ljubljana, I had rented a small but charming apartment right in the middle of the city. From there, I strolled daily through the many lovely little alleys of the city and regularly settled down in small cafés and wine bars.
An extensive walk also took me along the Ljubljanica River. It runs right through the capital and offers beautiful paths for pedestrians on both sides. Since there are bridges at regular intervals connecting one side of the river to the other, you can simply head out of the city and switch sides at any time to make your way back to the city center. That's exactly where you should definitely be again in the evening: on the riverside promenade, there are countless restaurants and bars offering not only delicious food but also a wonderfully lively atmosphere.
On the way there, it's worth making a short stop at the Triple Bridge (Tromostovje): this three-part bridge made of solid stone really stands out from the crowd and provides a lovely spot for a holiday photo or two.
Don't miss the castle and the park!
An absolute highlight was also the visit to Ljubljana Castle: the beautiful building majestically overlooks the old town and offers a breathtaking view. That alone makes the trip up there worthwhile (don't worry, besides the steep hiking trail, there's also a state-of-the-art funicular that takes you to this popular sightseeing destination). It gets even better with a glass of fine white wine from the drink stand – making it especially enjoyable to relax on the viewing platform in the late afternoon or at sunset. A definite must-do in Ljubljana!
On my last day in Slovenia's capital, I visited the beautiful Tivoli Park. This large city park with forests, meadows, and a botanical garden offers a relaxing change of pace from the urban hustle and bustle in the city. In the green heart of Ljubljana, you can easily spend many hours – whether simply to relax or for a short hike.
