Road trip through Slovenia: Part I: Ljubljana. What to do, where to eat and stay...
Hi everyone! We are back, but this time not from Sweden.
This video is our first Travel Video! And so - there we go. We travelled to a country that we immediately fell in love with: Slovenia.
We fell head over heals in love with Slovenia even tough we just saw a tiny bit of what that small country has to offer.
We spent some days in Ljubljana, Radovljica, Lake Bled, hiked the Velika Planina, as well as the Triglav National Park and saw the beautiful Soca Valley.
Our first stop was the Slovenian Capital Ljubljana. Slovenia is home to just 2 million people and 275.000 of them live in Ljubljana. And just a side note - they are incredibly friendly and welcoming and also have a great sense of humor.
Ljubljana is a city for strolling, chilling, eating, drinking, getting lost down winding lanes, finding cute boutiques, shopping local foods at the markets and so on and on...
We hope you enjoy our first travel video us much as we did while making it.

7 Days in Slovenia: A traveler's guide to the beautiful nation
Welcome to Slovenia. This small country (the size of New Jersey) sits between Italy, Austria, and Croatia, and as you’ll see, is one of Europe’s raddest places to travel. We gave ourselves a week. Starting off in Lake Bled, we swam in one of the most postcard looking lakes you’ve ever seen before heading off to sail in the Adriatic. From here we explored the Soča Valley — a region with turquoise blue rivers and limitless adventure options. Farm to table food and family-run wineries are a way of life in Slovenia, and we were stoked to spend time with world famous chef Ana RoŠ from HiŠa Franko restaurant as well as Aleš Kristančič, the storied winemaker of Movia vineyards. Don’t overlook this country when thinking of your next travels to Europe.

With a historic center that is basically entirely car-free, this old city begs to be explored on foot. Without any cars, there are some buses, though, the entire Old Town is opened up to pedestrians and cyclists to visit.

10 Best Things To Do In Ljubljana Slovenia - Ljubljana’s Top Attractions
#slovenia #europe #ljubljana #slovenija #bestthingstodo #traveladvisor #traveling #atraction
10 Best Things To Do In Ljubljana Slovenia
1. VISIT LJUBLJANA CASTLE
Sitting majestically on a hilltop overlooking the city, Ljubljana Castle deserves a top spot in your itinerary for the city. Built in the 12th century, the castle features the Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural styles. Many parts of the castle have since been rebuilt or expanded. The St. George’s Chapel, from the 15th century, is one of the oldest parts of the castle that still survives. You can walk up to the top in about 10-15 minutes, or you can take the funicular. The castle is a stop on the Ljubljana tourist train tour as well. We took the funicular up and loved the views on the ride up the hill. At the top, take in the panoramas from the viewing tower. You can see pretty much the entire city spread out below you: the tops of the stalls in the market, the spires of the Franciscan Church, and the tall buildings of the modern city beyond.
2. VISIT LJUBLJANA’S “PINK CHURCH”
The prettiest photos of Ljubljana I saw online before our visit featured this gorgeous pink church. So of course it was one of the first places in the city we visited.
The Franciscan Church of the Annunciation occupies a spot on Prešeren Square. Its beautiful pink facade looks great from up close, but even better if you view it from a little ways away. Built in the middle of the 17th century, the church was originally painted red on the outside. With time, the color faded to an attractive pink, and it’s been kept that way since! The inside of the church is beautiful as well, with frescoes on the ceiling and the walls. The Baroque altar was designed by Francesco Robba, an Italian sculptor.
3. VISIT DRAGON BRIDGE
The dragon is the symbol of Ljubljana. It’s on the city’s coat of arms and its flag, and on the four corners of the Dragon Bridge over the Ljubljanica River. The bridge was opened to traffic in 1901, and features 16 smaller dragon statues as well. The story goes that the dragon lived in the marshes around the Ljubljanica river. Jason of the Argonauts happened to set up camp in the area on his way back to Greece whilst waiting for the weather to clear.
When the dragon made its presence known, killing one of Jason’s soldiers and breathing fire on to the camp, Jason set out to find its lair. Eventually he was able to overcome and kill the dragon.
4. BROWSE THE LJUBLJANA CENTRAL MARKET
Ljubljana’s Central Market is actually made up of three parts: an open market in the Vodnik Square and the Pogačar Square, covered stalls between the two squares, and a series of stores that stretches from the Triple Bridge to the Dragon Bridge, along the riverfront. The market building that runs along the river was designed by Jože Plečnik. The two-story building has a colonnade on the street side and large windows overlooking the river at the back.
5.CRUISE THE LJUBLJANICA RIVER
The river is a huge part of Ljubljana’s beauty, and getting out on to the water is a great way to enjoy the sights long the banks from another perspective. Covered tourist boats run all year, as long as the water levels are not too high.
6. ADMIRE THE BRIDGES OF LJUBLJANA
Ljubljana’s bridges deserve a dedicated tour, they are so pretty, and historic as well. Did you know that there are at least one dozen bridges spanning the river? If you start at the Triple Bridge, you can work your way down as far as you wish to go, weaving from one side of the river to the other. Stop to admire the beautiful scenery along the banks and from the bridges!
7. VISIT TIVOLI PARK
Ljubljana’s central park is a popular place for socialising and relaxing. An outdoor gallery at the Jakopič Promenade regularly exhibits interesting large-format photos. Tivoli Park is crisscrossed with walking and recreational paths that continue into the slopes of Rožnik hill and allow an escape to nature from the centre of the city.
8. WALK THROUGH THE TOWN HALL
Ljubljana’s Town Hall is a handsome building, with a Venetian inspired facade and a lovely clock tower. It was originally built Gothic in the late 15th century, but has undergone many changes since. You can walk around in the public spaces just inside, and visit even more areas as part of a tour. There’s a beautiful old well in the center of the courtyard.
