DAY 1) LJUBLJANA – FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Arrival in Ljubljana and transfer to the hotel. The rest of the day is left open for a first introduction to the Slovenian capital. Depending on arrival time, you can walk into the historic centre, follow the Ljubljanica River, stop at one of the riverside cafés or simply enjoy the atmosphere of the old town at their own pace. It’s the perfect start to the itinerary filled with unforgettable landscapes and hiking in Slovenia. Overnight in Ljubljana.
DAY 2) ACTIVE CITY DAY IN LJUBLJANA
Spend the day discovering Ljubljana in a more active way. Begin in the historic centre with Prešeren Square, the Triple Bridge, the riverside markets and Ljubljana Castle. The city stands on the site of Roman Emona, established in the 1st century AD, while much of its distinctive modern identity was shaped by architect Jože Plečnik, whose works in Ljubljana were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Continue by bicycle beyond the classic city centre: choose a route to Žale Cemetery and Church of St Michael in Črna Vas, one of Plečnik’s most remarkable architectural ensembles. End the day at one of Ljubljana’s restaurants serving authentic Slovenian cuisine. Overnight in Ljubljana.
