Slovenia Experiences
Ljubljana
Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is a charming old city full of museums, galleries and artists. One of the greenest capitals in Europe, it is popular for its car free city center and lots of green spaces. Full of Baroque buildings and connected by many bridges along the Ljunljanica River, its riverbanks are lined with cafes and boutiques. Rated as Europe’s Green Capital in 2016, Ljubljana is a paradise by pedestrians and cyclists. The city’s cobbled streets and slow pace of life are reminiscent of the medieval times, making it one of the most admired cities in Europe.
Postojna
Located about an hour west of Ljubljana, Postojna is most famous for its cave, one of the largest in the world. The cave’s stalagmite and stalactite formations are unlike any other in the world, making it one of Slovenia’s most popular attractions. A massive underground world, a visit to the cave is a truly fascinating experience. The charming town of Postojna adds to the experience and is a delight to visit.
Predjama Castle
