 Ljubljana OverviewA city of culture and cuisine, boutiques, bars and hidden
treasures, Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia, exudes the confidence of
an architecturally beautiful city that has 5,000 years of
fascinating history tucked under its belt. The magnificent Baroque,
Renaissance and Art Nouveau edifices of its old town centre, and
its many charming squares, emanate the atmosphere of a small town;
while its lively cultural, scientific, educational and business
communities leave no doubt that this is a modern city in tune with
the times. Ljubljana devotes itself mainly to cultural events, with many
thousands of these gracing its calendar each year, including the
Summer Festival, Jazz Festival and the Druga Godba Festival of
Alternative Music. Music is the lifeblood of the city, which boasts
one of the oldest established Philharmonic orchestras in the world,
not to mention some accomplished street musicians. It is not all
classical culture, however. With its large student population
Ljubljana knows how to rock, and you are just as likely to hear the
throbbing beat of club music emanating from buildings after
nightfall, as you are the strains of violins. Food is a big factor in any visit to Ljubljana, where all the
best of Eastern European cuisine seems to have merged into a
of delights, from delicate Viennese-style
pastries to hearty Hungarian goulash. |
