Ljubljana is an undiscovered gem where the locals love spending warm summer days outdoors and many art and cultural events take place in the city centre each year. From events specifically to entertain children, to music and food festivals, there’s almost always something happening there.
It can be confusing though if you’ve hired a car because often roads are closed without notice. On occasions like these, leave the car and join the walking tour of the old city that takes place three times a week. If you’re there in December, the city centre is magically lit with thousands of lanterns.
