Ljubljana among top destinations in 2015

Ljubljana has been captivating more and more visitors and editors of foreign media. The Business Insider and Fine Dinning Lover included the Slovenian capital among destinations you simply cannot leave out in 2015. Take your time to see the old city centre, stop to see the famous Triple Bridge above the Ljubljanica River, climb up to the Ljubljana Castle and taste Ljubljana`s typical dishes. In the beloved Ljubljana, it is especially true that the way to a man`s heart is through his stomach.

The Fine Dinning Lover magazine for dining lovers included Ljubljana among eight world culinary destinations in 2015. The capital of SLOVEnia has been firmly established on the culinary map of Europe for a long time. At the junction of various historical and international influences, and the diversity of ingredients, Ljubljana’s cuisine remained faithful to traditional food served to foodies in innovative ways. Try Ljubljana’s traditional lunch `flying žganci’, which is actually fried chicken drumsticks and wings. This dish fascinated workers in the former town port on the Ljubljanica River several centuries ago. You may taste even more of Ljubljana’s traditional dishes in selected restaurants designated the Taste Ljubljana.

Take a walk around the town market, and buy some fresh vegetables and fruit from costermongers. Stop at the Open Kitchen on Fridays between March and October. Over 50 restaurants, tourist farms and chefs from around the world present themselves at this unique market. Embark on the Ljubljana Food Tour for a complete tasting of the flavours of Central Slovenia. We also recommend visiting the Ljubljana Wine Route where Slovenian winegrowers present their top wines.

Business Insider describes Ljubljana as an alluring old town you must put on your travel list. The Slovenian capital celebrated its 2000th anniversary in 2014, i.e. 2,000 years have passed since it was the Roman Emona. You can still take a walk along the Roman paths, stop in idyllic streets of the old city centre, stop by lovely town shops and have a coffee in a town café. Feel the vibe of the town on the embankment of the Ljubljanica River. The renowned Triple Bridge and Prešeren Square are always packed with strollers and street musicians. They are located just below the Ljubljana Castle, which invites you to the castle tower, which offers a wonderful view of Ljubljana and the mighty Alps.
