Slovenia may not be known for its golf, but it’s a popular destination! Here’s our guide to the best golf courses in Ljubljana and Slovenia.

That's a pretty usual question for locals and foreign visitors of Ljubljana. Before we attempt to answer the question we have to ask ourselves what it is that we expect from this coffee.

A unique blend of family tradition, cutting-edge technology and an artistic approach

In the heart of Goriška Brda, among rolling vineyards, gentle hills and picturesque villages, a story has emerged that blends warmth, humour and contemporary design.

BrdaVajb is a new brand that brings together the local dialect, wit and modern aesthetics, proving that preserving local identity and embracing contemporary culture can go hand in hand.

At LUV Fest 2026 in Ljubljana, a city-wide celebration of love, art, and wandering, the public space itself becomes a gallery that surprises and engages everyday passers-by. The festival’s central art installation is “Brstenje” (Sprouting), conceived and realised by intermedia artist Nika Erjavec. Installed along Čufarjeva Street, Brstenje uses light, organic motifs, and the urban landscape to evoke the quiet energy of spring and the awakening of nature, the city, and its people. This luminous work embodies the festival’s spirit of interrupting routine and inviting fresh perspectives - a vibrant backdrop to the following interview.

Juha Ceramics and Art Studio is a place of inexhaustible creativity. Through its wide display window on Resljeva cesta road, not far from the Zmajski most bridge (Dragon Bridge), you can see contemporary, unique and functional ceramic pieces – and, during the day, the artists whose creativity keeps the studio in constant motion. From time to time, other creators join them; at other times, an enticing smell of cooking drifts through the studio, or cheerful karaoke singing spills out onto the street. Bojana Ristevski Mlaker and Miha Perne ensure that Juha is an open and vibrant cultural meeting place – connecting creators, including hobbyists, and of course visitors who want to buy their work or simply get a small taste of the world of ceramics.

Okay, let's admit it: the idea of visiting a “straw hat museum” sounds like the punchline of a joke about the most boring museum on the planet.

“Je v Siski se kaj odprtega?”

“Is anything still open in Šiška?” sang Vlado Kreslin, Slovenia’s most popular folk-rock musician, in one of his songs. Back in the early 90s, the answer would have been “not much.” Today, it’s an entirely different story. Šiška is a lively cultural quarter of Ljubljana, with many points of interest to draw the intrepid tourist who is in search of something alternative and intriguing, beyond the bustling touristic center of the city. But it’s also something of a secret—ask folks from elsewhere in Ljubljana and they might not be aware of just how cool Šiška has become, and how many points of interest await visitors willing to explore beyond Ljubljana’s cozy center.
