I'M RUTH

Today I’m sharing our 1 day Ljubljiana itinerary.

After we wrapped up the Croatia leg of our trip with our daughters (see my blog
posts about Korčula, Mali Ston, and Plitvice Lakes), we made our way up to
Slovenia. 

The drive from Plitvice to Lake Bled takes 3.5 hours, so we decided to break up
the drive with a long afternoon in Ljubljana. 


THE PERFECT 1 DAY LJUBLJANA ITINERARY

Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia and happened to be right on the way to Lake
Bled, so it felt like a no-brainer to check the city out before our 3 night stay
in Lake Bled. 

We didn’t really know what to expect from Ljubljana. All we knew is that a
handful of other travelers we met INSISTED that we make time for it in our
itinerary. There is nothing I trust more than a mid-trip recommendation from a
seasoned traveler who’s just been somewhere they loved. 



We ended up absolutely loving Ljubljana. The city was just as it was described
to us: clean, charming, and a quintessential pastel Central European old town,
rich in history and newly restored. If you’re considering a stop in Ljubljana on
your central Europe itinerary, DO IT. 




Ljubljana’s old town has undergone major restoration in recent years, giving the
area a manicured feel that showcases its history and doesn’t feel, in my
completely uneducated opinion, overly sterile.

We LOVED this area. There were so many cute shops and cafes to check out. I
could have definitely spent a couple of days uncovering all that the area has to
offer and felt like an afternoon was not nearly enough. Even through somewhat
gloomy weather, this city managed to sparkle.

In today’s post, I’m sharing where we parked our car in Ljubljana’s old town
area, how we spent our time, and where we ate lunch (and, perhaps most
importantly, where we got coffee and ice cream). 


PARK NEAR OLD TOWN

We parked at this parking lot which was right outside the old town area, making
our afternoon pit spot so easy. The parking lot is underground but was very
simple to get in and out of. 


GET COFFEE AT ČRNO ZRNO SPECIALTY COFFEE

First, coffee. Tyler’s number one priority is also coffee which, I suppose, is
why our marriage has lasted this long. Črno Zrno Specialty Coffee was such a
cute little spot, and the coffee was amazing. 


TAKE A WALKING TOUR OF OLD TOWN

If you only have one day in Ljubljana, you’ll want to make sure to hit the “must
see” sights in the historic old town area. Don’t miss the Ljubljana Cathedral,
the Mestni trg (this historic plaza has been around since the 12th century!),
and the open air Central Market. 








RIDE THE FUNICULAR UP TO THE CASTLE 

This funicular ride was a major hit with the girls. They got to learn how to say
the word “funicular,” endured a physics lesson about counterweights from their
dad, AND experienced a little thrill from the ride up the mountain. Then, we
explored the castle on top of the hill. The views of the city from the top of
the castle were well worth the ride up. 

A round trip ride costs 6 euro per adult. It is free for children aged 7 and
under (15 euro for a family ticket!).  





EAT A TRADITIONAL SLOVENIAN LUNCH 

We had lunch at Klobasarna, a small restaurant in old town that makes
traditional Slovenian dishes. We ordered a couple of the sausage plates and, of
course, one of the Štruklji rolled pastries. Everything was delicious and so
satisfying on a cool, rainy day. The girls loved the sausage! 


GET ICE CREAM

A few different people told us not to sleep on the ice cream scene in Ljubljana.
Who are we to not take a crucial piece of advice like that? There were so many
shops to choose from, but we ended up getting scoops for the girls at Cacao
Ljubljana. This was such a cute little shop right on the river.
