Before you travel to Ljubljana by plane - good to know!

When visiting a lesser-known city like Ljubljana, travellers shouldn’t just stick to traditional tourist hotspots. Ljubljana has numerous interesting things to see and do that are off the beaten path. Metelkova City, for example, is a nightlife area with unique street art and a fascinating history as an army base and artists’ squat. Another great place to head is the weekly Odprta Kuhna (Open Kitchen) food market, where travellers can taste local cuisine from over 50 different chefs each week. Since Ljubljana is small, cycling is a great way to get around – and bike rental costs just one euro for a week.
