Irrespective of the weather and time of the year, it has plenty to offer to visitors. It boasts an extraordinarily large number of sights, picturesque areas and pleasant nooks and crannies. Distances within Slovenia are short, which makes Ljubljana a perfect base for exploring Slovenia's diverse beauty.
During winter, its dreamy central European character prevails, and during summer its relaxed Mediterranean feel. The unique-looking old city centre combines the heritage of the medieval period with Baroque and Art Nouveau masterpieces, ancient Roman monuments and the unique legacy of the famous architect Jože Plečnik. Ljubljana's surrounding areas boast a range of natural sights and a rich cultural heritage. Slovenia is famed for the beauties of its unspoiled nature. Ljubljana's green outskirts and surrounding areas offer excellent opportunities for all kinds of outdoor recreation. Anything is possible: from mere recreational activities to breathtaking high-adrenalin adventures, the most popular involving mountain biking, white water rafting, canyoning and mountain climbing.
The main feature of the evenings in Ljubljana is an abundance of cultural events. Ljubljana is a city of culture, which, among other things, boasts one of the oldest philharmonic halls in the world. Every year, it hosts over 10,000 cultural events, including concerts, theatre performances and exhibitions by some of the greatest names of the international art establishment, as well as a variety of events by alternative and avant-garde artists. Particularly worth mentioning are Ljubljana's 14 international festivals.
For those looking for more fun after the cultural events have been over, the entertainment in Ljubljana goes on until morning. The offer is, of course, adapted to suit various tastes.
