Ljubljana, Slovenia: Happy Hodgepodge - Rick Steves Europe Travel Guide - Travel Bite

[@krisjustin1380]

Slovenia is one of the highlights of a European tour. Despite some similarities, I was still amazed at how different they were, even from their closest neighbors, like Austria and Croatia. I respect the way Slovenes have maintained their identity with their distinct language and culture even after centuries of being absorbed into other empires and political systems.

[@marisaogris]

because the old city center is "pedestrian only" zone. And that is the best change that happened in the last years, it is so nice for drinking coffee and chating without cars roaring by :)

[@universalwine]

Ljubljana is like this video shows ... a Belgian living in Slovenia Peace and love for all

LJUBLJANA ❤️ SLOVENIJA 🇸🇮

[@jkgn8]

beautiful indeed

[@seleneafan77]

so beautiful

[@CuteCatFaith]

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.

[@GlobalAdventurer]

Of all the European cities I have visited, this was my favorite.

[@ThaGamerTard]

Končno nekaj pozitivnega o naši državi :)

[@luzmariaperez5608]

THANKS A LOT FOR THIS MUSIC 😘😘

[@bobbygilbert2706]

Interesting!

[@lukak2002]

thank you (hvala)

[@LoveStallion]

I visited Slovenia once - 14 years ago. It's stuck with me. Still one of my favorite places I've visited. I did use Rick's book when I was there, and it was great overall. However, Plečnik's house was probably the most skippable thing I did. I felt my time could have been spent better elsewhere.

[@bestfrogs247]

Thank you for posting the video!

[@petermalnar7358]

my country i live in kočevje every one loves slovenia

[@etrnlygr8tful87]

How's the transportation system in Slovenia...planning to include this in my itinerary.

[@MucaMacaful]

That actually depends where do you want to go... Overall its good.

[@0000thief]

More expensive than in the rest of the country, but still cheaper than in the western cities. 50m2 apartment is around 500E/month, house in the city is usually around 700-2000E/month.

[@tiggax2000]

[@GreatestTop]

Ljubljana is a nice city but it's not the only beautiful city in Slovenia!

[@AndreyPurtov]

Almost like in the Prague, or Sofia. Nice town.

[@peromihi]

V bistvu je 280.000 bližje številki 300.000 kot pa 250.000 ;)

[@DiegosHideout]

Well, Ljubljana have 300.000 thousansd people not 250.000 like this man said and it is not small at all, by her size it is an average big Europan city. I am fro Ljubljana. By the way i made a film called We are all Ljubljana/Laibach

[@Grillenheimer]

DiegosHideout Ya Das ist Laibach!! OK so...Yeah its Ljubljana now... (sigh). And I've never been there... one day. One day I will.

[@earling22]

As much as I personally like R. Steves, I went to Cinque Terra on his advice in April back in 2009 and found it kind of desolate, obviously waiting for hordes to arrive, and the visitors that were there were a breed of Americans who were about as interested in the place as they would have been waiting for a bus in the US. I remember waking past dozens of stone-faced Americans on the cliff paths, not single hello or smile-most of them I suspect there because of RS. Steves touted the place for its "authenticity" ... I didn't quite get it. It's a physically gorgeous place with obvious economic problems, and set up almost exclusively for tourism. Strange conundrum. I felt that The Lonely Planet guide I used in Siena was more practical and reality based.

[@zianini1]

Those streets are closed to cars

[@Lzontar]

im from ljubljana

[@lishikaw6391]

Slovenia is a beautiful country, Check out some of our genuine unedited photography of the countryside at our new Facebook page : Slovenify

[@lukak2002]

there are not lot of streets in Ljubljana capital

[@BlacKNighT456]

Because those are all pedestrian zones.

[@villejohn8926]

OMG why i didn't see any cars in the street?

[@dragecklem]

she is natalija

[@HarryPotter87]

Plecnik was the Slovenian Frank Lloyd Wright

[@Adsabs12]

RickSteves come to belgrade!

[@3333sweetie]

This may be off topic, but why are Slovenians the least Slavic of all Slavs? They rarely drink, they don't party that much, they rarely wear Addidas track suits, etc. Why are they not living a very Slavic lifestyle?

[@niks031]

and i must say,slovenia is one beautiful country

[@3333sweetie]

'Boring European' men also cannot provide for women nor their families that well. Did you know that?

[@niks031]

no,thanks for the info

[@3333sweetie]

It's sad but true. Western men(not all but a lot) often are so entitled that they use equality as a way to make women provide for them. They blame women for being the cause of all their problems They don't act like men anymore. I hope most Slovenian and Slavic men generally are not as weak as Western men are.

[@JustMe-uc8wj]

Slovenians drink a lot,statistically we are very high on the list of consumption per capita,but we usually don't get crazy and violent.The other thing is centuries of living in german state(s) and lack of arable land made us disciplined,modest and hardworking.And of course except for the 73 years of Yugoslavia(s),we were part of Central European cultural space all of our known history...

[@ShadowTBlack]

It's funny to me how all native english speakers pronounce Ljubljana as Ljublijana lol

[@Sahel-ey4od]

El govaro queste El dorado

[@vidacious]

the city is busy with students, but the students ain't busy

[@Grillenheimer]

It's Liabach!!

[@hekjed]

2:09 - 2:20 when you realized you got scammed.

[@UXRO]

90% people don't know where slovenia is XD

[@ramureddys7162]

Miha skof be safe

[@tommyrex6648]

I came here because of: LUKA DONCIC!

[@user-ez1gi5ow6i]

pol kile, pronounced "pou kile" is the only correct answer. Branjevka ne zna sklanjati.
