A curated guide to Slovenia’s riverside capital—cafés, castles, design, and slow city romance
Small Capital, Big Atmosphere
Ljubljana is the kind of city that feels instantly walkable: a castle-topped hill, a river with bridges you’ll cross a dozen times a day, and a center designed for people—not traffic. Add leafy parks, a creative scene, and a food culture that starts at the market, and you get a capital that’s easy to love.
Use this site to plan a first visit, build a romantic weekend, or simply find the best places to eat, drink, and wander—at Ljubljana pace.
Walk-First City
Ljubljana’s centre is built for people. Most days, the best “transport plan” is simply walking the river loop, crossing bridges, and letting cafés fill the gaps.
It’s also known for its sustainability story: Ljubljana was named European Green Capital 2016.
Design Capital
In 2021, a set of Ljubljana works by architect Jože Plečnik was inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage (“Works of Jože Plečnik in Ljubljana – Human Centred Urban Design”).
Easy Getting Around
For short hops, use city bikes (BicikeLJ) or the Kavalir electric vehicles in the pedestrian zone. For longer trips, buses use the Urbana card system—check current ticketing before you arrive.
