What to see
Everything in Slovenia is easily reachable. Only an hour drive from Ljubljana, you will find:
- The Alpine landscape with LAKE BLED and LAKE BOHINJ
- The mysterious underground world of the karstic region - the POSTOJNA CAVE
- The medieval coastal town of PIRAN
- The SOČA river with its emerald waters
- The Slovenian Tuscany - GORIŠKA BRDA, with its world-renowned wines

But mostly, enjoy the charms of the young and lively capital - LJUBLJANA! Ljubljana is wonderful year-round. In the summertime, it gains a Mediterranean languidness, as the people take the time for leisurely chats in Ljubljana's many coffee shops. In wintertime, snow turns the city into an icy fairy tale, waiting for the first spring days, when the city thaws and awakens. The capital, whose soul remains that of a small town, will surely leave an impression.
FOR AN OVERVIEW OF THE TOP ATTRACTIONS ONLY A SHORT DISTANCE FROM THE HOTEL:
Triple Bridge (Tromostovje) and the Ljubljanica river Ljubljana boasts the Triple Bridge, which connects the Prešeren square with the old town.
Take a walk along the river and take some time to enjoy a drink while watching passers-by in one of the riverside coffee shops.
Prešeren square Ljubljana's main square hosts the monument to Slovenia's most famous poet, France Prešeren. The bronze statue faces Wolfova street, where the poet's great unrequited love, Primicova Julija, used to live.
Old town The charming old buildings towering over narrow lanes give Ljubljana a special atmosphere. The streets are lively day and night.
Market Ljubljana's market was designed by Jože Plečnik, a renowned Slovenian architect who left a strong mark on Ljubljana. Its stalls offer fresh local produce, from delicious fruits to fresh vegetables and traditional Slovenian dairy and meat products. Sea food doesn't need to travel far to be sold here, because Ljubljana is only an hour drive from the sea. This is why Ljubljana's market offers the freshest and the highest quality fish the Adriatic Sea has to offer.
