Visit Ljubljana Cathedral
Ljubljana Cathedral sits in the city's heart, so there's no excuse not to visit. It's a magnificent Baroque masterpiece dedicated to St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors and fishermen.
The striking twin towers and elaborate façade dominate the skyline, drawing you in from afar. While here, you can explore its rich interior, which is decorated with marble altars, ornate frescoes, and gilded decorations.
Relax in Tivoli Park
Ljubljana's friendly and carefree atmosphere encourages you to relax, and there's no better place to do so than in Tivoli Park. Sitting on the edge of the city's boundary is the capital's largest park, spanning almost 2 square miles.
The cluster of trees provides shelter from the beating summer sun, and the freshly cut fields allow you to savor a picnic. Once you recharge, take the time to wander the paths and keep an eye out for gorgeous Tivoli mansions!
Climb up Ljubljana Castle
Ljubljana Castle sits 400 meters above sea level. Although there aren't romantic sea views, stunning vistas overlook the cityscape.
A hike up its encircling gardens feels like a different world from the energetic streets of the old town. After listening to birds chirping, smelling the fresh scent of the woodlands, and tasting that sense of adventure, you can relax on a bench or tour the castle once you arrive.
PS: You can take a funicular ride if you're feeling lazy!
Eat through Odprta Kuhna
Odprta Kuhna is one of those unique traveling experiences you can't get anywhere else. The narrow, steamy walkways, carnival atmosphere, live music, and local delicacies create a melting pot of cultural flavors.
The outdoor food market comes alive every Friday during the warmer months. You can fill up on anything from juicy burgers to sweet confectioneries from dusk until dawn. You can also expect high standards, as the event has won the Ljubljana Quality Label, the In Your Pocket Best Landmark Award, and the Snovalec Award in just the past few years!
