With
a population of less than 300,000,
Ljubljana is one of the smallest
European capitals. Slovenia was
the first Yugoslav Republic to
declare independence and has proactively
sought greater links to the west
and encouraged the growth in tourism.
Ljubljana reflects this ‘buzz
of anticipation’ and has
removed almost all relics to the
grey communist past, creating
a lively and beautiful city dominated
by it’s 12th century castle,
fully restored and now home to
many summer events and festivals.
The city also boasts numerous
theatres, museums and galleries – indeed
the city offers over 10 international
festivals each year including:
- Ljubljana Summer Festival
(Mid July – End September)
- Ljubljana Graphics Biennial
(Mid June – End September)
- Ljubljana Jazz Festival (July)
Ljubljana enjoys 4 full seasons
with warm summer temperatures between
23-25 °C (73 – 77 °F)
and cold winters between 2-3 °C. |
