Green and active

Indulge yourself with an active holiday in Ljubljana. Did you know that Ljubljana was the proud holder of the title of European Green Capital 2016, the first and only city in central and south-eastern Europe to hold this title?

Imagine gliding down the river Ljubljanica on a stand-up paddleboard while top Ljubljana chef prepares a picnic basket of local delicacies especially for you to enjoy in one of Ljubljana’s most beautiful green areas.

Can we tempt you with a beer-based experience? Learn about the brewing process and sample the house beers at one of the longest bars in Ljubljana. Don’t miss the “brewer’s monthly selection”, a beer brewed exclusively for the Union brewery’s own pub.

After a refreshing night’s sleep in one of Ljubljana’s hotels, you will be ready for a bicycle tour of some of the city’s hidden corners, all the way to the Ljubljansko Barje wetland. Later on you can try a one-hour golf lesson and tee off at the first hole.

For the perfect green and active Ljubljana experience, we recommend staying in Ljubljana for two or more days.
