On our way back from Italy were able to stop in Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana, for one night. Never in my life would I have thought I’d have the opportunity to visit and fall in love with the capital of Slovenia, but Ljubljana was lovely and I can’t wait to go back.
Where are we?
The name Ljubljana (Lue-be-on-a) originates from the Slavic verb “ljub– lyoob” which translates as“to love.” The name isΒ fitting to the gorgeous city. Settlements near theΒ Ljubljana marshes were first mentioned in 2000 BC and is also where the oldest wagon wheel in the world was found. The city is known for its “Ljubljana Dragon”, which is illustrated on the top tower of the castle. According to Slavic legend, the slaying of a dragon releases water–therefore ensuring the Earth’s fertility–and again correspondsΒ with the city’s marshes.

A trip to Preseren Square:
The next day we visitedΒ PreΕ‘eren Square and wandered around the surroundingΒ districts. Thankfully the weather held up and we were able to see a lot of the city before heading home.

Eat: Pop’s Place Burgers
We only had a chance to have one meal while visiting Ljubljana and it was awesome. Pop’s Place has a ton of different burgers, apps, and locally sourced beer and ingredients. Our server was awesome; he was super knowledgeable and had a laugh with us.
