Mix it up in Ljubljana
Ljubljana is rightfully one of Slovenia's top destinations, with incredible sights all over the city, but don't leave without experiencing Ljubljana's other side. Leave the picturesque square of Preernov Trg and head east along Trubarjeva Cesta, passing busy street food establishments, cafes, and bars. Continue to the Metelkova district of Ljubljana, which has become the city's de facto art district. What were once military barracks are now transformed into studios and hedonistic nightclubs. There are also two of the country's most interesting museums here: the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova and the National Museum of Slovenia – Metelkova.
Every stroll down the cobblestone streets in Ljubljana yields a new inspiring story. Climb to the castle, cross many beautiful bridges, and come to a halt at Preeren Square, which houses the beautiful Franciscan Church. In the immediate vicinity, you can also visit the town hall, the cathedral, and some fascinating galleries and museums. The mastermind behind the city's modern image is the greatest Slovenian architect, Jože Plečnik. In 2021, a selection of his works will be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
