Ljubljana in a weekend: a complete itinerary
Ljubljana is a capital on a human scale: a pedestrian old town, greenery everywhere, a river running through it and a relaxed atmosphere. Here's our three-day itinerary.

A walk in the large Tivoli Park and, weather permitting, an excursion to Lake Bled or the Postojna Caves.
