When to go

Spring and early autumn are particularly good for walks and bicycle trips. Summer is warm and lively, while the centre becomes quieter in winter.

Things to see and do

Visit Ljubljana Castle, walk along the river and across the Triple Bridge, and visit the Central Market and old town.

Practical tips

The centre is very easy to explore on foot. Buses and bicycles are available for more distant districts.

Getting there and getting around

Ljubljana has an international airport and rail and bus connections to neighbouring countries. Buses are the main form of public transport within the city.

Where to stay

The old town is convenient for a first trip. Districts slightly beyond the riverside offer quieter accommodation with short distances to the centre.

What to try

Try Slovenian soups, sausage dishes, štruklji and local pastries.
