Ljubljana:
is the capital of the small but beautiful European country of Slovenia. With numerous venues for classical, alternative, jazz or world music, a thriving club scene with top live acts and DJs, a full dozen theaters, more than 30 museums and art galleries, a hip art-house cinema and an international film festival – there's always something going on in Ljubljana. With five big downtown department stores, lots of small specialty shops and boutiques, even a thriving open market offering produce, clothes, flowers and handicrafts, shopping in Ljubljana is more than a breeze – it’s a pleasure. Founded by the Romans, inhabited or invaded over the centuries by diverse peoples, Ljubljana's rich historical legacy was re-energized by early modern architecture and Slovenian independence. Yet it's also a green, pedestrian-friendly town with a relaxed pace.
