The Germans know Ljubljana as Laibach, the Italians as Lubiana. The city, besides being the capital and the largest city of Slovenia, is also the cultural, economic and industrial centre of the country. Ljubljana is the main gateway to Slovenia, and a city where you can find a lot to do- whether you plan to spend your holiday touring old museums or visiting all the nightclubs in town.

One in every ten people in Ljubljana is a student. And from that simple fact, you can guess what the city’s atmosphere is like- young, vibrant and vivacious. This is a city where every little street has a cosy café or a funky bar; where summer is one long-drawn out party, where even old monuments like the local castle find themselves commandeered by joyous students relaxing on the steps….

And yet Ljubljana isn’t just another frivolous upstart. It’s a beautiful, typically European city with all the history, the medieval architecture and the classical music concerts you could ask for.
