Editing Ljubljana (section)

= What to See and Do =

Here's a list of cool things in random order:
* '''castle''': walk up, check the chapel & view tower
* main meeting spot: '''Prešernov trg''' at Triple Bridge, with monument to France Prešeren, Slovenia's greatest poet
* '''baroque''' churches: cathedral and its doors (west and south), Ursuline church; seminary library can be visited only by appointment unfortunately
* Miklošičeva - main street of '''Art Nouveau''': highlights are Hotel Union (pop into lobby), colourful building opposite (ex bank, now land register, but try to have a look inside anyway), Triglav insurance company at the upper end
* '''old town''': walk from town hall and fountain in front halfway around the hill, then check 
* architecture by '''Jože Plečnik''': National and University Library, market, Triple Bridge, Križanke (ex monastery, now summer theatre) and many other big and small additions to the city; a bit out of the centre also '''Žale''' (main cemetery), and St Michael's church in the marshes
* concerts at the '''summer theatre''' - inside or outside, or climbing inside over the wall
* borovničke & medica; '''wine tasting''', best @ www.vks.si
* '''river''' Ljubljanica: Dragon Bridge, Triple Bridge, "beach" (mostly) on the left bank with plenty of cafés, or relaxing on the steps under willow trees further downstream
* picnic in '''Tivoli''' Park
* try '''burek''': 24h, but best at 4am after lots of drinks
* squats: '''Metelkova and Rog''' - great party places at night (till morning), excellent hostel at Metelkova (Celica), skate park at Rog, and lots of other stuff going on during the day; also about the only public places where people can (and do) smoke inside
