Ljubljana







Judged merely by size Ljubljana has all the appearance of a 'provincial' town. With a population of less than 300,000 inhabitants and very modest 'skyscrappers', it poorly compares against the dimensions of any other capital city. Yet such beliefs are misleading, since Ljubljana is recognised as one of the major cultural centers in Europe.Ljubliana is an enchanting place. At Preseren Square, the Triple Bridge (Tromostovje) provides a perfect, lovely gateway to the historic district, which comprises a series of narrow, cobblestone streets, shops, Italian restaurants and pubs. Walking this Old Town is like a voyage in time -medieval Ljubljana remains practically untouched.
