MEET THE PARTNERS: Ljubljana Tourism

Ljubljana, an elegant old lady with a young heartbeat will astonish you with its car-free areas, beautiful bridges, spectacular architecture, positive energy and friendly Slovenian people.

Back in 1821, the Holy Alliance Congress took place in Ljubljana, which ranks it among the oldest European meeting destinations.

Ljubljana was named European Green Capital 2016 due to the largest number of changes towards its long-term sustainable development in the shortest period of time. With four public parks, car-free downtown, the Bicike(LJ) city bike sharing network, public drinking fountains and much more, it is an authentic green destination.

City centre compact size – most of the meeting venues, hotels and points of interest are at a walking distance.

Flights from the major European hubs to Ljubljana Airport, 25km from downtown, are available. Nearby cross-border airports provide additional connections.

LIFESTYLE

Taste Ljubljana is a project presenting traditional dishes that people in Ljubljana enjoyed over the centuries of the city’s history and are still popular today. Special attention is paid to using genuine ingredients without artificial additives, all of local origin. There are a range of themed tours in Ljubljana, including the Taste Ljubljana food tour, which highlights traditional dishes, and the Ljubljananjam food tour, which merges the best Ljubljana restaurants, pubs and cafes into one culinary experience.

BEYOND ORDINARY

Ljubljana is a city that can inspire you in many different ways. Considering its small size, it boasts a surprisingly large number of unusual activities, which can be incorporated in incentive programmes. This time we are introducing two exciting water sessions.

A SUP or kayak discovery with a certified instructor is a popular alternative way to experience the city. It can either be paddling below the central bridges or heading opposite, towards the preserved habitat of the Ljubljana Marsh nature park.

EXPLORATIONS

A few walking minutes away from the downtown area, the Tivoli Park’s main promenade with an attractive outdoor photographic gallery, leads to the Tivoli Mansion. The present building dates from the early 17th century and today houses an important cultural institution – the International Centre of Graphic Arts (MGLC). Moreover, Tivoli Mansion provides one of the most attractive outdoor settings for social functions in Ljubljana. MGLC rents out the the lecture room, gallery, library, print studios and a spacious courtyard, which is connected to the main promenade by an ornate stairway and where amazing photographs from events can be made.
