If you are one of those, who travel to tick attractions off their list, Ljubljana is not for you. There are not any famous attractions which are a must-visit. Ljubljana is all about culture, atmosphere, and experiences. The Ljubljanica river flows through the heart of the pictorial town where cars are restricted so that there is ample space for pedestrians, cyclists, cultural events, and open-air shops. The restaurants and cafes spill into the cobbled pavements and serve excellent fresh food, vintage wine, and lip-smacking desserts.
Ljubljana is a very vibrant and colorful town, and the main reason is its student population. There are about 50,000 university students here which give the town a very peppy, young, and friendly feel. The whole town seems to be in a holiday mood. They infuse life and zest in the entire city. You can witness an amalgamation of old-world charm and values with modern ideology.
What makes Ljubljana different from other European cities are its festivals and events that take place in the Central Plaza. There are concerts, sports events, and street performances all through the summer and the charming town are in perpetual celebration. We also witnessed a boat race on the river flowing in the middle of the town, with hordes of pedestrians cheering and encouraging the participants. During major events, everything is closed and local people come and join the festivities along with tourists. Roaming the streets, shopping, enjoying events, and live music, eating delicious food is a delightful experience. And the friendly and jovial locals and the perfect weather elevate your mood. Because of the abundance of bars and clubs, the nightlife is also buzzing.
