Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is a city resort that's just the right size for a holiday. Its heart and soul is the mediaeval old town with Baroque and Art Nouveau architecture that can be admired on foot. There are also plenty of tempting places to stop along the way, from outdoor cafes to small boutiques. You can grab picnic delicacies at the market square of the old town and then head to Tivoli Park. In the Vinoteka by the City Hall, you get to taste local wines.

At sunset, enjoy a stroll on the riverside boulevard, designed by Slovenia's most famous architect Jože Plečnik. The slow-flowing river and its ornamented bridges, in particular the Dragon Bridge and the Triple Bridge leading to the old town, create an unhurried and romantic ambience in Ljubljana. The Ljubljana castle and the city's high-class museums, such as the National Gallery, National Museum of Contemporary History and the Museum of Modern Art, are places where you could easily spend a day, or more.
