Ljubljana, a charming and extremely beautiful city, a mixture of Central Europe

From geographical, economic, educational, political and cultural point of view, Ljubljana is the heart of Slovenia. It is a charming city, a mixture of Central European characters with a unique touch. Ljubljana is modern and traditional at the same time, rich in architecture and culture. Major influences of the historic centre were Art Nouveau and Baroque and the combination makes Ljubljana so special and differentiates it from other European cities. Its Slovenian touch was given to her by Joze Plecnik, our world famous architect, with his many breathtaking masterpieces.

Ljubljana was named after Ljubljanica, the river that flows through the city. It is a friendly, middle sized capital offering everything that each metropolis should offer, but still keeping the relaxed atmosphere. Ljubljana's ambience, numerous bars, street cafés, restaurants, frenetic program of performances, events and more, attract people into a traffic-free city centre.
