Ljubljana
Slovenia's compact capital is one of Europe's most livable and underrated city-breaks — a pedestrianized riverside old town of pastel Baroque buildings, triple bridge crossings, and an elegant castle above. Ljubljana serves as the perfect base for Lake Bled, Triglav National Park, and the Škocjan Caves, all within two hours.

Hostel Tresor Ljubljana
What guests say
