Monocle, or enjoying a boat ride and
bottomless mimosas, we explore,
finding out what else this pocket-
sized city has to offer.
My recommendations? Give your-
self a good hour to wander around
the amazing flea market, which takes
place by the river on Sundays. Take
the funicular to the castle, but skip
the entrance fee and just enjoy the
views of mountains for days. If you
want to stretch your legs, walk back
from the castle into town, and take
the opportunity to make friends with
local cats as you go.
Worn out, we head back at our
base, stylish Hotel Cubo (hotelcubo.com).
After a power nap, it’s time to pack and
say goodbye to Slovenia. For now.
Stopping by Pritliˇcje for one last caffeine
fix, I spot Nina at the bar and ask her
for tips for first-time visitors to
Ljubljana. “Come to Pritliˇcje. Three
times,” she laughs. Top advice, which
you should follow to the letter.
