  • How the hell do you pronounce Ljubljana?” The most common response by locals is “lyoo-BLYAH-nah” but also simply “lublana” without the J’s will work. Ljubljana means “of lovely appearance,” and with a winding river, medieval castle and plenty of historic charm, the tiny Slovenian capital delivers on its name. Ljubljana is a fantastic entre into what Slovenia has to offer - incredible food, architecture, history and a reputation for repurposing and reinvention. The city is extremely pedestrian friendly, and that’s by design: a decade ago, the capital closed off its historic Old Town to cars and motorized vehicles and that is the reason Ljubljana continues to win awards for its commitment to being a green city.
