Ljubljana visit

 Where is Ljubljana, how to get to Ljubljana, places to visit in Ljubljana, where to stay in Ljubljana, what to eat in Ljubljana? Before moving on to questions like this, let me tell you a little about how and when we went to Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, the city of dragons.

On the way back from our Croatia trip, there was a very cute capital of Slovenia on the way. Let's stop by for 2 days,' we said, and we turned our route to the not very famous country of Europe. We were in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, after a 2.5-hour drive from Croatia's Krk Island. Honestly, we didn't know anything about Ljubljana. So what are the places to visit in Ljubljana along the way? Where to stay in Ljubljana? What are the local dishes of Slovenia? How much does it cost to eat and drink in Ljubljana? Is Ljubljana expensive? we started researching.

Before we get into the details of our trip, let's give a little information about this not very well known country, Slovenia. 😊

Where is Slovenia?

First, where is Slovenia? Let's answer your question. Slovenia is a small country with a population of 2 million, located in Central Europe, neighboring Croatia, Italy and Hungary. Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia. Ljubljana is a cute European city with a population of 300,000. The country gained its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. It joined the European Union in 2014. Compared to other countries that left Yugoslavia, the reason why Slovenia was admitted to the European Union in the first place is that Yugoslavia made the most investment in this region at the time. Naturally, the currency of Slovenia is the Euro.

To be honest, at the end of our 2-day travel, we decided that Ljubljana is definitely one of the cities underestimated. In addition to being a central European city with its architecture, it seemed very warm to us with its crowded streets and lively people. The fact that Ljubljana is a university city is also effective in this. Since it is difficult to compete with European classics such as Paris, Rome, Milan or London, it has always been left behind, well below its value. If the return from Croatia had not been on our way, it would certainly not have crossed our minds. When we look back now, we are so happy that we changed our route and stopped by this city so cute to fall in love with... We decided to describe our trip to Ljubljana in the smallest detail in order to introduce you to this hidden beauty even a little bit.
