Bursting with picturesque green spaces and graceful architecture, Ljubljana is a delightful, museum-studded city where old-meets-new. 

Must-sees include the city’s old town (time-ravaged yet terrific all the same) separated from the commercial centre by the serene and leafy banks of the Ljubljanica River. Settle down here for lunch in one of the cafes, espresso bars or dinky eateries dotted along the riverfront and sample all sorts of delicious Slovenian delicacies. Then, circle back to Ljubljana’s selection of museums, including the National Museum of Slovenia and the Museum of Modern Art. 

Staying at the 4-star Ahotel for three nights puts you just over a mile away from Ljubljana’s centre – perfect for avid sightseers who don’t fancy faffing about with public transport. Should you start to feel a little lethargic, the hotel also has its own taxi service offering special rates for guests too. 

In the mornings, wake up to the smell of freshly baked goods and make your way to the Ahotel’s breakfast buffet. When it comes to lunch and dinner, you’re also just a short distance from a range of restaurants – from the Kodila Gourmet (Slovenian food) to the Capriccio Ristopizza, serving up Italian delights.
