A green, car-free old town, a castle on the hill and Lake Bled less than an hour away. Here's what Ljubljana is like with the family and when to go.
The EU is bringing in new entry checks, so check the rules on GOV.UK before you book.
May to September is best for lakes, rivers and mountain walks. July and August are warm and lively but Bled gets busy. December has fairy lights and Christmas markets along the river.
Ride the funicular up for views of the Alps and a castle puppet museum.
About 45 minutes away. Row or take a wooden pletna boat to the island church.
A little train runs deep into huge caves, home to the 'baby dragon' olm.
A big park with playgrounds and woodland trails, right next to the centre.
A gentle cruise down the Ljubljanica under the old town's bridges.
A small hands-on science centre that's perfect for a rainy hour.
Yes. The old town is small, safe and car-free, and lakes, caves and mountains are close by. It's a great base for exploring Slovenia.
Four nights for the city with day trips to Bled and Postojna, or a week if you want to add the mountains or the coast.
No, British passport holders can visit for up to 90 days in any 180 without a visa. New EU entry checks are being brought in, so check GOV.UK before you travel.
Not for the city or Bled, which you can reach by bus. A car makes the caves, mountains and the Soča valley much easier.
Put Ljubljana on standby with everyone's other ideas. You each spread your points in secret, get one veto, and the draw picks where you go.
