The boutique stories of Ljubljana’s old town centre

The old town centre of Ljubljana tells many different stories. You may be inspired by Plečnik’s legacy, daydreaming along the banks of the Ljubljanica River or the lively pulse of the city marketplace. Walk along the charming streets and stop in at the boutique shops selling crystal and glassware, Slovenian specialities and designer products, and have lunch or dinner at one of the smaller restaurants.

And if you get tired, you can find your perfect shelter at one of the select boutique hotels in the very centre of the city.
