PapofGlencoe Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Any tips about good places to go? off the beaten track restaurants, good places to see? particularly interested in good live music venues. The websites I've seen haven't been that helpful! Maybe there's nothing much there... haha i know we had a game there years ago, maybe some folk that were more compus mentis than others can remember some places worth going. edited to add, i'm going as a couple...kind of..that's a long story haha.

wubbs Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I've been a few times - Fairly compact and everything is walkable, a nice enough place but didn't think it was anything special. Could try this website http://www.spottedbylocals.com/ljubljana/ edited to add, i'm going as a couple...kind of..that's a long story haha. Look at a day trip to Bled - nice and romantic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham of Montrose Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Stayed for a couple of nights on the way back from Croatia a couple of years back. As Wubs said, Nice enough place but been to a lot better. What did take me by surprise was the price of things, it's a fairly expensive place.

joecraigfanclub Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Lake Bled is fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I liked it too. There was loads of live music when I was last there. 2/3 places in the Celica, then an even better one on the right somewhere. I'd love to go into more detail, but that's all I've got. Went to some really impressive mines somewhere between Ljubljana and Koper. Again, no idea where it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapofGlencoe Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 thanks guys, will have a look at the celica district and lake bled.b I'm actually driving from Trieste to Kopar to Ljubljana, deecie so i may check out the mines. By the way, has anyone ever driven on these Toll roads about here!!?? I have a terrible idea i'm going to be holding up some angry italians and slovenians not having a clue how these things work. Seems you get a ticket when you enter a toll road and pay after, but make sure to go into the right lane. And crossing the border. Hopefully I make it. It'll work out i'm sure.

sporranmaster Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Been a couple of times and it's a great place - although not overly big. Lots of bars & clubs with music as big student population. People are vey friendly and have to say never found it to be over priced / expensive. Castle been done up too so worth a walk up if hour or so to waste. There's (or at least was) a really nice Slovenian restaurant over the bridge & up near tourist info (had a great big wooden chef outside) and really nice Italian (but can't remember its name). Lake Bled is worth a visit (if you get a nice day) or other place we went in car was Postojna Caves. Had to go on toll road and was no bother - although they do tend to drive right up your bumper before pulling out to overtake. This guide is useful www.visitljubljana.com/en ENJOY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapofGlencoe Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks guys appreciate all the tips. going tomorrow. will report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robroysboy Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Was there in 2005 with the TA. Nice wee castle and remember it being really cold. The pubs had heating lanterns / furnaces outside to try and keep their punters warm. Hope Slovenia play there this campaign. That game was miles outside lubujiana.
