The term ‘hidden gem’ gets thrown around a lot when talking about Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Despite the growth in tourism, most people don’t know much about this beautiful little European city with great food, friendly people, and beautiful sights. It wouldn’t be described as off-the-beaten track, although it certainly hasn’t been fully discovered by mass tourism.

Overall Ljubljana has to be one of the most friendly and easy to get around cities in Europe. It is a very small city, you can easily walk around on foot which makes a change from most European cities. As a very clean and green city it’s no surprise that it has been awarded the European Green Capital award in 2016. You can easily hire a bike from one of the many racks around the city, one of them is also in our hotel.
