Ljubljana, Slovenia: Happy Hodgepodge

Being the midpoint bewteen the Slavic, Germanic and Italian worlds gives Ljubljana a special spice. This tiny town has only about a quarter-million people, but it's by far the country's largest city, cultural capital, and a charming place to kick off any Slovenian trip.

Pozdrav, reci mi kako se zove ova voditeljica muzeja ? Vidim da si iz Slovenije po komentaru pa te zato pitam. Pozdrav iz Zagreba.

Amazing place...can't wait to go back!! I couldn't be more proud to be Slovenian:)

I am fully half Slovenian but from Cleveland, Ohio USA. I now live in Paris, France. I hope to visit. Maybe alone -- my French spouse is not all that interested. My mother went to Slovenia with her Slovenian-born father in 1980 and they had a good time. I hope to find some of my relatives in Slovenia. Uprated.

I'm shocked that we never knew how beautiful Slovenia is! It's now on our list of 'must-sees'!
