Experience in Ljubljana, Slovenia by Janz

What is it like to live in Ljubljana? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

The city is nice and really well organized. I also recommend it because of the geographical position, from Ljubljana or Slovenia you can travel around in cities as Belgrade, Zagreb, Venice, Verona, Budapest, Vienna, etc. quite cheaply.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

Food is incredible. It's a mix of different cousins you can eat really good Italian pizzas, incredible Serbian meat (čevapcici), etc. There is really a lot of food. However I will not lie, there are certain restaurants that are really good and others that are garbage. I don't like to order at home as I always received not tasty food.

There aren't a lot of places you can visit in Ljubljana. You can go to the castle and walk riverside in the city center. But there are other places 1 hour from Ljubljana that are top world destinations as the Bled lake or the Postojna Castle and Cave.
