Enhance your Slovenia walking holiday with a Ljubljana city add on
- Extend your Slovenia holiday with a few days in its charming capital
- Compact, walkable city with a relaxed riverside atmosphere
- Explore grand architecture, leafy parks and a lively café culture
- 2–3 nights recommended
Some holidays make you choose between city buzz and mountain calm, but Slovenia makes it easy to enjoy both. Begin with a stay in Ljubljana, one of Europe’s most liveable and underrated capitals. The old town is a delight to explore on foot, with baroque façades, leafy riversides and lively squares linked by architect Jože Plečnik’s distinctive bridges. There’s plenty to tempt food lovers too, from open-air markets to riverside restaurants serving seasonal Slovenian dishes and excellent local wines. Museums and galleries showcase the country’s history and creativity, while the hilltop castle rewards you with sweeping views back across the city.
From here, it’s less than an hour to swap the city’s café culture for the clear waters of Lake Bled, the tranquillity of Lake Bohinj, or the walking trails of the Julian Alps. Few places let you combine cultural discovery with mountain landscapes so effortlessly.
Our Walking Specialists can tailor your trip to the dates, durations and hotels that suit you.

- Start your day with a climb (or funicular ride) up to Ljubljana Castle, which has watched over the city for centuries. Explore its towers and exhibitions, then pause for a glass of local wine as you take in sweeping views across the rooftops to the Julian Alps.
- Head back down to Ljubljana’s Old Town, where pastel façades line the Ljubljanica River. Wander across the Triple Bridge and Dragon Bridge, dipping into boutique shops and stopping at one of the many pavement cafés for people-watching.
- As evening falls, dive into the city’s food scene, from creative riverside restaurants to local favourites tucked down cobbled streets.
- Begin the day at Ljubljana’s Central Market, where stalls brim with local produce, cheeses, and pastries. If you’re visiting on a Friday in summer, don’t miss Odprta Kuhna, the city’s open-air kitchen showcasing dishes from some of Slovenia’s best chefs.
- After lunch, swap the city buzz for the calm of Tivoli Park, a vast green space at the edge of the centre. Stroll along leafy paths, visit the Tivoli Mansion for its art exhibitions, or simply relax in the sunshine like the locals do.
- In the evening, return to the riverside for a relaxed dinner.
