Ljubljana
The city is called Ljubljana. Located in Slovenia, It is a mouthful to pronounce, but nonetheless this attractive city is becoming more popular with Western visitors. For someone who enjoys the outdoor café life, this might be just the place to visit for a few days. Increasingly, travelers are finding that a trip to this fascinating Eastern European city is well worth the effort. \" Go climb Castle Hill. Ljubljana, like most European cities, is a very old place. In this case, the city is close to a thousand years old, while the site has been occupied for an even longer period of time. There is a wonderful old castle here that sits on a large hill, practically in the center of town. You can climb the hill or take public transportation to the top, where you will find a great view of the city and a real centuries-old castle (Ljubljana Castle). Be sure to view the virtual tour and climb the watchtower for a fantastic view of the city. Visit the open-air Central Market, which is located along the Ljubljana River between the Dragon Bridge and the Triple Bridge. Here you can stock up on your daily supply of fresh fruit or just walk around the premises to get a feel for the region (you are now in the Western Balkans). There are also many food vendors nearby inside the colonial arches that were designed by Joze Plecnik. Visit the several bridges that are nearby and view the architecture of the downtown area. There is the Dragon Bridge (so called because of a dragon sculpture that is part of the structure) and the Triple Bridge. Be sure and take note of the Art Noveau architecture at Preseren Square. These buildings date back to Napoleon, who once conquered this city, but was well received by the Slovenians. Go visit a museum. There are two museums of particular interest here, the Joze Plecnik House and the Museum of Modern Art. The art museum features regional modern art, while the Architecture Museum of Ljubljana/PleÄnik Collection is about the architect of the same name. There is also a National Museum, located near the art museum. Enjoy an outdoor café. This charming city is definitely a café society. The river is lined with many busy restaurants and cafes, so many in fact that choosing one might be a problem. \"
