The Ljubljana City Guides take on the questions every visitor has: where to eat a proper Carniolan sausage instead of a tourist hot dog, which parts of the castle you never need to pay for, where the city drinks once the river terraces empty and which lakes, caves and coastal towns make an easy day out. Each guide is a short list with clear opinions, giving the reason to go, what to order or see and one useful tip per place. It opens in your browser as soon as your payment is through.

Old inns serving žlikrofi, Carniolan sausage, burek in the small hours, a Michelin star in the castle tower and wine bars by the river.
Things to do guide
23 places
Plečnik’s bridges and library, the castle without paying for what is free, museums worth an hour and a plan for short winter days.
Family guide
25 places
A zoo that feels like a forest walk, hands-on science and illusions, playgrounds in Tivoli Park, a water park for wet days and food children will eat.
Nightlife guide
23 places
Cocktail bars, Slovenian wine on the riverbank, gigs in the former barracks of Metelkova and a burek counter that never closes.
Day trips guide
23 places
Lake Bohinj and the Julian Alps, the Postojna and Škocjan caves, a castle in a cliff, Piran on the Adriatic and Zagreb, with the buses and trains that get you there.
Budget guide

Three places from the guides
Gostilna Sokol
Ciril-Metodov trg, old town
An inn of wood-panelled rooms that has been feeding guests since 1870. Order the Idrija žlikrofi, little potato dumplings served with ragout, and try a glass of the house beer alongside. From the food guide.
Nebotičnik
Štefanova ulica 1
Built in 1933 as one of Central Europe’s first skyscrapers. Ride up to the top-floor café, where the price of a coffee buys a view in every direction, and come at sunset, when it is quieter than the castle. From the things to do guide.
Predjama Castle
9 km from Postojna
A castle set into the mouth of a cave in a 123 m cliff, tied to the story of the 15th-century knight Erazem. The audio guide plays free on your phone, and a joint ticket with Postojna Cave costs less than two separate ones. From the day trips guide.
Play the game, then keep exploring
World City Trail’s Ljubljana scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the old town. When the last clue is solved, the guides carry on: a set lunch at Druga Violina, a drink with a view at the top of Nebotičnik, a train to Postojna Cave or a free walk up the wooded slopes of Rožnik.
