Ljubljana is tragically an often-overlooked European capital city. However, Slovenia’s capital city and capital of culture can rival any other on the continent, due to its beauty and grandeur. Despite its relatively small size, Ljubljana packs a big punch when it comes to parks, palaces, museums, castles, cafes and quality restaurants. In fact, Ljubljana is fast becoming one of Europe’s best culinary capitals.
