About Ljubljana

Before you visit the capital of Slovenia, you should learn some basic information about this colorful city every stag-do party fondly remembers.
Quick links

Slovenia is located in Southern Central Europe and is a part of the EU and Schengen zone. Ljubljana is Slovenia’s largest city and capital.

Ljubljana’s city center

The climate is similar to that of continental Europe, so depending on the season of your arrival, you should bring winter or summer clothes because air temperatures differ quite a bit. Prices are similar to the average EU prices, but non-basic needs like partying can be slightly cheaper than in the northern parts of Europe. 

Ljubljana is also one of the safest cities in Europe. The local transport is well organized, including taxi services, which are relatively affordable. The accommodation options are endless and of good quality.

What’s party life like in Ljubljana?

As a relatively small city, most of Ljubljana’s pubs, bars, and clubs are located in the city center and are within walking distance from one another.

Party in Ljubljana

Ljubljana presents all kinds of venues, from luxurious to more relaxed pubs and even alternative clubs such as Metelkova City. The most social action happens along the Ljubljanica River banks – especially the areas of the so-called Cankarjevo nabrežje and Petkovškovo nabrežje

Bars and pubs follow each other in line there, and you can visit one after another before you decide where you wish to end your night. You can also count on some friendly Slovenians to direct you. It might even happen that you will end up partying with them until the early morning hours.

What are the must-dos in Ljubljana?

  • Traditional Slovenian cuisine with local craft beer
  • Clubbing in Ljubljana’s best clubs (Cirkus Club, Cvetličarna Club, Metelkova City etc.) 
  • Boat party on Ljubljanica River
  • Karting race on one of the best racing tracks in Europe
  • Rafting and canyoning on Soča River
  • Adrenaline day in the mountains
  • Skiing, snowboarding and night sledding

There can be occasional issues with pickpockets or small thefts, but it is more of an exception than a rule. To sum up, visiting Slovenia comes at a low risk, whether traveling alone, with friends or as a family.

Visa

Generally, a visa is not needed for any stays shorter than 90 days, although some nationalities will need a valid EU Schengen visa. Your passport must be valid for at least the following six months of your planned return. If you are unsure whether you need a visa, visit Do You Need Visa.

Language

The official language is Slovenian. But most Slovenians, especially the younger generations, are fluent in English. Some might even speak other foreign languages, so you will have no issues communicating.
