Central Market

The Central Market in Ljubljana is more than just a store. It has historically traditionally served as a gathering spot for folks to socialize and have fun. The so-called "Plenik's Covered Market," which was constructed between 1940 and 1944 based on drawings by the architect Joze Plecnik, is envisioned as a two-story array of riverside market halls that follow the curve of the river. The upper story has businesses that sell Slovenian goods and attend to customers. A fish market, a small fish restaurant, and the DobraVaga Art Gallery are located at the lower level.

The Central Market is made up of a covered market sandwiched between the Vodnikov trg and Pogacarnev trg squares, two open-air markets in the squares itself, and a number of small food stores along the Ljubljanica River. Catering businesses and food carts round out the Central Market selection. The Pogacarjev trg square in Slovenia offers a unique food market every Friday from the middle of March to the end of October when chefs from Slovenian restaurants prepare a variety of delicacies from across the world. The Open Kitchen was canceled in case of inclement weather.

The market offers a selection of tropical fruits, dry-cured pork products, balcony flowers, and plug plants in addition to the fresh fruits and vegetables cultivated by neighborhood farmers in Slovenia. Ecology Market is held in Pogacarjev trg Square on Saturdays. In addition to the weekly Open Kitchen, additional themed and gastronomic events are held here, such as From Countryside to City, Idee Italia, an Italian food market, Pivo & Burger Fest, etc.
