Plečnik and all the hidden corners of Ljubljana

Why not take a mini-break in this cultural and gastronomic capital and set off for a wander through the city’s museums and galleries?

What better way to start a summer’s day than with a visit to the National Gallery to see the works of the "First Lady of Slovenia”, the painter Ivana Kobilca? Her Coffee Drinker, the “Slovene Mona Lisa”, will remind you that it’s time for a coffee in one of the many charming Ljubljana cafés.

What do you say to a picnic in Ljubljana’s biggest park, Tivoli, where on a blanket in the shade of tall trees you can enjoy a unique picnic prepared especially for you, consisting of a basket of typical Slovene specialities? The perfect way to get your strength up before your guide takes you off to discover all the hidden corners of the city.

After a refreshing night’s sleep in one of Ljubljana’s hotels, it’s time to step into the world of the modest man responsible for some of the city’s most impressive architecture. You will discover that Plečnik’s Ljubljana is a true masterpiece of worldwide importance. Later on, enjoy a gentle ride along the river Ljubljanica and drink in the marvellous views while also giving your taste buds a treat.

For the perfect experience discovering all the hidden corners of Ljubljana, we recommend staying in Ljubljana for two or more days.
