Small Boutique hotels in LJUBLJANA

Capital of Slovenia, this small Central European city seduces you with its legacy of Renaissance influence immersed in a orchard of greenery. The Ljubljana Castle traces the skyline. Rebuilt in the fifteenth century, it stands majestically high on a hill. Go up there on foot or by funicular, and the 360º panorama that it provides is a pleasure.

The hub of the city, the Prešeren square can be reached through the legendary Triple Bridge, the work of Jože Plečnik (Ljubljana, 1872-1957), the revered Slovenian national architect. On the river Ljublanica, which winds through the capital, flanked by lively cafés with terraces, another bridge captivates us with its Art Noveau style: the Bridge of the Dragons.

The Tivoli Park emerges practically like a forest in the middle of the city. The central promenade is credited to Plečnik, who also left his mark in the Church of San Francisco de Šiška and in his own house, now a museum.

The central market Trznica is set up every morning in the open air in the Vodnik square. It is a sample of the daily life of a city with local elements of this charming town. The student tradition also creates vibrant life. Next to the institutional museums: the National Gallery and the Museum of Modern Art, we find the Metelkova cultural space which functions as an independent neighborhood in the center of the city, now a mecca for the most alternative European art.
