About Ljubljana

The best place to start any adventure is in the heart of things, and there is nothing quite as central, both geographically and culturally, as Slovenia’s capital. So if you are wondering what to do in Ljubljana, these experiences above represent our top picks.

You finally made it to Ljubljana, what to do now? Like the country itself, Ljubljana is small, green and exceptionally charming. It’s a vibrant city with just the right measure of cosiness. The Old Town centre is brimming with history, culture and attractions. Finding something interesting to see and do in Ljubljana is very easy indeed. Bridges, boat rides down the river, lovely parks, colourful markets, museums, restaurants, and a castle on a hill overlooking it all – Ljubljana has you covered.

Sure, Ljubljana can be a perfect holiday destination on its own, but with the open countryside only a stone’s throw away, why limit yourself? You can reach anywhere in Slovenia within a couple of hours, making daytrips from Ljubljana extremely convenient. Besides the numerous activities available in or close to Ljubljana, like cycling in the nearby marshes, mountain biking or horse riding in the outskirts of town, fantastic places can be visited and adventures had in the wider surrounding area.

There’s hiking across Velika Planina, an Alpine plateau with its authentic shepherds’ huts. One of the best ski resorts in the country, Krvavec, is right on Ljubljana’s doorstep and can be enjoyed till quite late in the season. Another awesome option is exploring Slovenia’s subterranean world by going cave kayaking and cave cycling. Transfers to other Slovenian towns are cheap, frequent and quick, which is why Ljubljana is undeniably the most optimal springboard destination.

First off: the hike of approximately 1 hour to the cave can be quite intense. However, we train jiu jitsu daily which has quite some cardio, and for us it was very doable. The hike was fun and had a few very nice viewpoints. After the hike, our amazing guide Anže gave us a good training on how to use the caving/climbing gear to go down steep/vertical slopes and back up. After getting ready, which took about 45 mins, we went into the cave. The cave itself is very large, and had some really nice features of which Anže was very knowledgeable and was able to explain a lot of details. After walking through the cave for a while (15-30 mins?) we arrived at the best part: an abyss of 40m straight down. This was an amazing experience, which was thrilling yet felt very safe. Even my wife, who has fear of heights, enjoyed the experience. She was scared/frozen for a bit, but Anže calmed her down, after which she was able to go all the way to the bottom and enjoyed it a lot! After the descent into the abyss, we climbed back up via another path, and experienced some more amazing parts of the cave. About 3 hours into the trip (including hike and preparation) we exited the cave and hiked back down to our starting point. This took another 30 mins I think. All in all, around 4 hours total for our trip. The experience was really unique, felt safe, but still got the adrenaline pumping!! Both of us agree: 10/10 would do again!

We took the 4-hour "City Bike Tour Ljubljana" with our guide, Andrej. Andrej was fabulous: filled with informative, historical, and humorous details. The ride allowed us to see many parts of Ljubljana in a short time, and Andrej tied it all together. The ride was not too difficult (we are seniors). The lunch stop was perfect (Slovenian charcuterie, plus a pour of local wine): enough to eat, water to drink, and a convenient WC. We recommend this tour (and Andrej) without reservation. We could not hope for a better experience.

This was a truly amazing experience! We really enjoyed our beautiful Seven Lakes Valley hike with an overnight stay at a mountain hut. The alpine scenery of mountains throughout the hike was simply stunning especially the crystal clear emerald lakes, which are absolutely breathtaking! The cosy mountain hut was a lifesaver after a long day’s hike, dinner was hearty and delicious, atmosphere was lively and the beds were warm and comfortable - overall a great experience! What made it all the more enjoyable was being in the safe hands of our brilliant guide, Klemen who was not only very experienced, professional and knowledgeable, but he was also extremely helpful and accommodating. He went out of his way to take care of our needs during the journey. From the start, he was very responsive and proactive in helping us arrange our itinerary in the best way possible to maximise our time there. We also did a private rock climbing session with him after the hike and it was awesome! We definitely enjoyed our time in Slovenia with him and highly recommend going with this company and a private guide like him if you are looking for a customised trip.
