I’m currently in Sarajevo, so I thought I’d take a moment to write about my visit to Ljubljana. This has been the place I was most blown away by. Arriving knowing nothing about it, and having little in the way of expectations I can safely say this has been my favourite place so far.

I thought Slovenia was supposed to be a hidden gem but it turns out half of Europe is visiting. I didn’t take so many photos because there were so many people everywhere but they can speak for themselves.

I really enjoyed just chilling out here, walking about and migrating from cafe to cafe nursing a coffee whilst catching up on my book. The whole centre of the old town is pedestrianised and situated either side of a river. The place was just calm and safe and very chilled out. English was spoken everywhere by default almost which was a bonus. I partook in the free walking tour and had a ‘night excursion’ on the second night which played a pet in a slightly extended visit in the end (tone explained in future post). I even squeezed in a little run.

I had a random encounter with my friend Adam from work who coincidentally was there on a stag do – hence the background antics

Should have got a longer video but the street performers were fairly unique and of good quality around the city unlike some of the rubbish you see in capital cities. My favourite was this chap. He essentially serenaded his dog with some of melodic sax tunes (slowed down improvised versions of ABBA songs from what I could tell) – the dog would then sing along with him, which I think you can hear towards the end. They seemed particularly popular with the ladies.
