![LJUBLJANA SLOVENIA: Europe's PRETTIEST Capital?? 🇸🇮 [Ljubljana Things To Do]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/mMG6E87g5BA/mqdefault.jpg)
I haven’t been everywhere on this beautiful planet...but as an Englishman who has lived here since November 2019 I’ve found my paradise. ❤️Slovenia.
Sorry to bump this months later; wanted to ask: How did you adapt to language restrictions? Was English sufficient to get you through and settled?
@@VizierElixir Hi, in the capital city literally everyone speaks English. It’s the language tourists use and I’d say 90% plus speak it. Less so in the outskirts I’m guessing.
@@Jasonkenny- thank you for the information 🙏🏼
Are immigration laws very restrictive? Could an American couple retire in Slovenia on a moderate income?
@@edzanjero353 if you have the means to support yourselves and can prove it then yes, easily. Depending where is Slovenia you want to live, the property isn’t cheap and neither is food, but it isn’t Norway prices…it can be done, even if it’s more expensive than some places in the US, it’s a nicer, safer, more beautiful place to live. The people are amazing.
A thing about recycling: it's actually mandatory to recycle in Slovenia. We even have inspectors checking our garbage to make sure we seperate our trash and you get quite a hefty fine if you don't do it correctly. Most of us are fully supportive of this because we genuinely care about it a lot.
zakaj pa recikliramo? zato da se v komunalnih podjetjih lažje pobere tiste snovi, ki so profitabilne. ostalo (nekje 80% smeti) se skuri oz. zakoplje
@@arthas1641 Navsezadnje vsi ti odpadki pristanejo na nekem kitajskem odlagališču, kjer se pomešajo.
most stupid I ever heard as recycling been debunked years ago not useful, not helpful and cost more on nature resources than not doing it! when the uneducated fools play garbage police you apparently know you are in East Europe😂
That's what i love. People who genuinely care. The hefty fine is just an encouragement
@@framestomind7548 source?

What is koper like?
@@ivancvijetic344 its realy nice small city there is a lot of old things and old streets beautiful weus
@@ivancvijetic344 Well, Peter probably meant towns like Portorož and Piran.
And some really good psychopaths ruling our extended village, that calls itself a "nation"
@@joskojansa1235 Are you related to JJ as your last name could imply?
It’s true! Don’t make too many videos. It’s too beautiful to spoil with crowds of tourists.
We were there in 2019, and it’s my top destination in Europe.

yhhhhh we da best hah
As a local from Ljubljana, I can confirm everything you noticed about Slovenia... You are all welcome to visit again after this covid madness!
I’m Australian and we want to come explore you’re beautiful country
@@spannaspinna you should! I'm also a licensed tour guide so if you need any service you can contact me. My company is Piran Walking Tour, but we do guiding services all around Slovenia. Till next time! ;)
Jan Pirnat ok after the Rona is over we will take you up on that
@@spannaspinna you are more than welcome ;)
I'm coming. :-)
Not single 1 word is overrated. An absolutely wonderful hidden spot in central of Europe. After visiting 25 countries from Europe, Slovenia still number 1!

My wife’s family is from Slovenia, was lucky enough to go there in 2011 and 2015, an un-discovered gem of a country. Great people, great food, great beer, easy to get around, stunning to look at.
As an austrian I'm happy to be able to reach slovenia by bicycle. The prekmurje Region (north-east slovenia) is very nice.
You are welcome in slovenia my neighbor
@@mik5465 Thank you very much. I always like to visit your beautyfull country.
Being slovenian is knowing you live in a small hidden paradise and wanting to share the experience, but still wanting it to stay kind of a secret. The issue is that the ever growing influx of tourists is getting prioritized by the government and companies, that are already trying to ruin the natural beauty by changing the land to build resorts or something. Also a lot of landlords now throw out students during summer to accomodate tourists, more and more apartments are becoming airbnb's, prices in bars get higher, ...
It breaks my heart to see greed ruling over natural beauty.
I guarantee people would not agree with selling our natural water sources and government land, just to see a multinational company come and take it’s resources. That is, in my eyes one of the biggest crimes you can make, and the current ruling party is making this possible.
And here I was, thinking we’re living in a democratic society. They all need to be locked up, especially Janez Janša, he needs to go back to jail, he hasn’t even finished his prison sentence yet.
This is the TRUE current state of Slovenia. Greedy politicians ready to sell Slovenia’s greatest treasures.
@@supersecularboypants slovenia is just like that if your not living in a nice part of the country with good pay its pretty boring living here with literally nothing to do
@@supersecularboypants We get huge crowds of tourists because of such "lots of postcards there" videos as this

Hvala Jovan33.
This were just the most famous beauties of Slovenia.
The really special ones, we keep for our self 😉
I travelled on a whim to Slovenia from Italy, stayed a couple days was probably the most beautiful European country I've seen.
Just don't forget, you haven't seen the best part of Slovenia yet :) Come again, Visit Pohorje, visit Jerusalem, visit Ptuj, visit Lipica, visit Piran, visit Soča, visit Logarska dolina, visit Dolenjska... Maribor you have mentioned, but you left so many great places out.
no one mentions Kamnik, where my mum is/was from (well, from a nearby village).
@@ninanovak2449 Also a great place, you're right.
I watched the Korean Drama "Black Knight" which is taken in Slovenia and i began to search for it because i fell in love with the sights in the movie. I love castle, mountains, bricks, bays, caves etc. shown in this movie. This is a good travel destination! Thanks for the info and showing us what to discover in Slovenia! Such a lovely place!
One of my top 3 countries in Europe 👌❤
We had the same man rowing, on the same boat people from china, Italy, USA, Spain, Poland (we are polish) super nice experience :D beautiful place, I recommend to see Vintgar,
I lived and worked in Slovenia. Best people ever!
@julijawhat is funny
Hvala! Thank you!
Went to Ljubljana in 2019 and was surprised at how small but beautiful the city was.
💚
It’s funny how you guys think it’s small but we think it’s big being the biggest city in our country.
Iz Zagreba sam i ljubomoran sam na Ljubljanu , u zadnje vrijeme Ljubljana je jako uređena i prekrasan je grad .
Slovenia is absolutely wonderful. I can't wait to go back.
Thank you!
Thank you and welcome again
I loved shopping there! I bought a couple really well made locally designed/made dresses that I just love.
I would just like to say thanks for complimenting Slovenia and a friendly tip: When visiting, make sure you see the river Soča because in my opinion it is even more beautiful than Bled. If you're familiar with the "Chronicles of Narnia", part of it was filmed there. The water is beautiful blue colour and ice cold. Have fun!
So cool!
And, if you do, please, spread the word that tourists should not litter.
While it's nice to see tourists, after almost every bus of tourists there's a nlot of dropped trash locals then need to pick up.
l'm from Finland and learning Slovene. l want to go there one day, l also follow one of their football teams NK Domžale 😆🇫🇮🇸🇮
That's a first. Curious to know how you came around to learn Slovene especially when you've never been here. Usually it has something to do romances...
@@Rjuhar or honey? Maybe wine
@@Rjuhar Chill out. Nobody wants to learn your dutt Slovenian language.
@@Rjuhar 55 overall no badges.

Pozdrav Slovenci
Hej hej!
I live in slovenia you cannot bealieve how my life is there. ITS AMAZING!
My favourite Slovenian word is "otrok", which means "child"; but in my language, Czech, it means "slave". :-) It's especially funny in the context of the nearby Latin using the word "liberi" (free ones) for children. :-D
Let me inform you further into something that could be of interest to a Czech person. The word "Hlapec" in Slovenian language could be translated to "slave" - and the plural version "hlapci" to "slaves". Though the direct translation for a word "slave" is "suženj".
So much for the contribution to Slovenian - Czech friendship, hehe ;)
My favourite word in Slovene is "Zizek." When I first wake up in the morning, it's "Melania." Oh ya.
@@amalkic The correct english translation of 'hlapec' would be 'serf' (both singular). Serfdom was in part similar to slavery but not exactly the same.
Who uses "liberi" for children?
Sladolet is nice too.
But our Polish friends with their omnipresent szukacz are obvious winners (-:
Anyway Slovenia is paradise and among my top 3 beloved countries.
Actually i just started to learn Slovenian language.
See you soon beautiful slovenian mountains, miniature seashore, omnipresent hotsprings, beautiful villages and friendly people everywhere.
I am from Slovenija and am very happy of how you said it
It really is very beautiful!
idemo lol
I from slovenia too
When in Bled, just walk 200 metres away from the lake and you will find restaurants with normal prices. (But still dont expect to get a slice of pizza for 1$ like in downtown Manhattan :D )
Yes, but the quality of food is much more better than in Manhattan.
That's pretty common in Europe. There's a cafe in Cannes opposite where the film festival takes place that charges 6-7 euros for a coffee. A couple of hundred yards away is the local boules club and the coffee is a euro.
Slovenia is not only Postojna Cave, Bled and Ljubljana, the whole of Prekmurje is worth a visit.
I went to Slovenia in 2018, I’d love to go back. It’s like a mini Switzerland in my opinion ❤️
💚
Aww thank you
Its about the same size lol
It is. But not economy wise although they promised that at the breakup back in 91
Now that you've started it - it's actually the other way around - it's Switzerland that is almost like Slovenia, only a bit bigger, ha ha.
A proud Slovenian here and I loved your video. Now you know why you can meet so many Japanese tourists in Slovenia. They love taking postcard pictures 😊
So many postcard pictures in Slovenia 😀
hi from slovenia
Great video! It is remarkable how many different landscape there are in such a small area of land - Slovenia really has it all. As a Slovenian expat living in the UK I miss the diversity of nature, the mountains, the Adriatic sea...and the locally grown food! Slovenians are big on growing their own food ❤
We visited in 2019 & Slovenia is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. We stayed in Portorz but visited alot of the country. Piran was really beautiful & Lake Bled was worth the trip alone. We would like to go back one day.
You are welcome to come back one day.
@@SloveniaWalksAndViews Thanks, I certainly hope so. We have kids now & we want to bring them. Truly one of my favorite countries ever. Thanks again.
I’ve always heard from friends about how beautiful Slovenia is, but that they didn’t actually visit the country. They just passed by... so now I am confiming that it is indeed beautiful
I live in slovenia and its realy beautiful a lot of nature
Slovenia is on my top 10 list
Slovenia is one of my favourite places to visit. I totally agree with everything you said.
Slovenia was on my bucket-list for a long time, and 2 years ago I've made a roundtrip there, and it was just an absolutely fantastic experience! I cannot really name any bad things, everything was just awesome, beautiful and friendly!
Slovenians have every right to be proud of their little jewelbox of a country! I'm still wearing the Slovenian badge on my bag to this day, I'd actually love to live there... or at least go back for more exploration. Also there were so many fellow Hungarian tourists there it almost felt like home already :D
My favourite place ever 🇸🇮
I have been to Slovenia twice - summer and winter. Wolter pretty much hit the nail on the head. My mom's parents were from Slovenia so it is like a cultural pilgrimage for me. Comment for the Slovenians: If you want to keep Americans out, don't build any more roads, keep the airports small, and make sure train travelers have to transfer at the boarder in order to get in.
Nah americans are great to have here. Edit: Texans especially
I agree with@@user-vl7uf5lu6x. We don't mind from where you come from. We love our country and we love our guests. Hospitality is part of our culture and you are all very welcome here.
I work in tourism ( Airbnb) and i can say that American guests are The Best 🙏 friendly, polite, clean.
Can vouche, always had a good time with Americans!
I wanna go my dream country
Visiting Slovenia is on my bucket list. My mom's family was from there and I've always wanted to visit.
Hvala Wolters! Much love from Slovenia, take care and may your life be gracious.
Also, the location of Slovenia is so great, you can see so much in just a few days on your way to many other countries in Europe!
I love seeing my country through the eyes of its visitors. Before the virus I was working as a tour and a local guide and I miss it very much. This was such a sweet video, thank you so much!
Thank you for such a great review about my country.
I loved it! Thank you for having an incredible country!
The culinary experience is a combination of Italian, Austrian and Slovenian influences. Huge variety and absolutely delicious.
and also Balkan influence...
Also Hungarian - Prekmurje/Prlekija
Lol it's all Serbian. Slovenia didn't even exist 20 years ago.
@@lonelydemigod3378 Don`t be so anoying with this arogant attitude. Slovene books were printing before yours. And Primož Trubar has payed for printing of yours.
@@bojanstare8667 Lol Slovenia doesn't even exist. We made you. Be grateful you pleb.
Thank you for this video....
I'm from Slovenia and I'm so happy that I live here and all I can say Welcome in my country, enjoy in all natural beauty and please put trash in containers that's all 🌸🤍
Wow I have known for a while that Slovenia was a stunningly beautiful country, but wow! What a gorgeous country.
💚
Cody...he didn't show our mountains, Alps...for me there is a paradise.
Thx for such a fantastic presentation of oir country. Welcome, Dobrodoshli!
I'm slovenian and after this video I like my country more 😁
I am an Indian, like to visit your country with family hopefully at anytime in my life
the best thing about Slovenia is you can go from swiming in the sea to the mountains in 2 hours
And the worst part about Slovenia is that the Adriatic hates going to Slovenia.
1 hours
Good thing here in New Zealand too!
A Carrara ci metti anche mezz'ora
Thank you Sir, for appreciating our beautiful country. Welcome next time!
This settles it. One day, I'm going to Slovenia! I already knew it was pretty, but I didn't know about the food :)
make sure you see the river Soča it's so beautiful also visit the coast (city called Piran)
Slovenia is located between Balkan and Italy. Italy is world famous for its cousine. Balkan on the other hand has really heavy food, but tasty as hell. So being between those 2 results in really good food.
You are welcome.
My two favorite Slovene words are Luka and Doncic ;)
main are Mirjam and Sašo.
@@armin38822 Do you know who Im talking about ?? A very famous Sloevenian Basketball player ?
@@krakatit7730 I though you we're a real fan ;) MIRJAM Potrebin and SAŠO Dončić are his parents. Is a serbian lastname,since thats where his dad is from. While Luka is a latin name.
@@armin38822 OK I understand now. I did not know his parents names although I saw them both on TV.
My is Melanija :)
for me as local what the most amazes me about Slovenia is the Castles. We have here so many beautiful castles.we have great history. proud to be born in slovenia.
Seriously. Tons of castles and all seem to be in gorgeous settings
Celje, Zicka kartuzija, Lemberg, Žovnek are castles in Styria region. Counts of Celje were most and highest dinasty at midle age time. Two queens (at Europe scale) were born there. Prices are more than affordable. Peace.
@@rikta3530
Count of Celje had similar power as Habsburgs had. Unfortaly for the Count of Celje and Slovenian the only successor which survived was a female.(15th cent)
According to agreement between Counts of Celje and Habsburgs the one who faill to have a male sucessor shall be taken over by the other which have a male sucessor
BTW
The last French king was by his will buried in Slovenia as well.
Yes please visit us! We love getting tourists here, im so happy people are finally talking about it
May 2024 from Canada. Can’t wait! 😀
I've been to Slovenia twice, once when I was 10 years old when it was still part of Yugoslavia and again in 2007 as an adult. The first time I remember doing the same cave with the train (Postojna) and staying on the sea in Opatija. The second time we saw more, the cave castle (Predjama), Ljubljana and of course Lake Bled. I ended up saving money on food by eating at my hotel in Lake Bled rather than in the tourist places and it was still quite good.
I am glad you liked Slovenia.
Slovenia was never on the bucket list till this vid wolter 😁
When we wanted sparkling mineral water with our first lunch in Ljubljana, we asked if they had San Peligrino. The waiter disgustedly replied that they had SLOVENIAN mineral water, which is better. We didn’t really care which mineral water it was, and the Slovenian water was fine, but this was our first taste of Slovenian “pride”. While staying in Lake Bled we drove to a rural restaurant a few kilometers west of town, on a very dark rainy night, and we had a huge platter of mixed meats, rice, potatoes, veggies, etc. more than the two of us could eat (it was called a “half platter” by the way) and it was very cheap, not much over 10 euro. It was kind of early-season and it was out of town, but it was a great price of lots of good food. And we agree, Slovenia is a hidden gem, safe, clean, good roads and beautiful countryside.....kind of a Slavic Austria with a bit of Slavic Italy near Trieste.
The best mineral water is in Bosnia, you can fill it up from a free tap in Kiselyak, and have your children and wife proclaim you're playing a trick on them, since everybody knows carbonated water comes from a Coke machine.
I live 5min away from bled in gorje, what resteraunt did you visit?
San pelegrino only exists so americans would buy it
@@balisticren6155 You live in a beautiful place in a beautiful country! Unfortunately I don’t remember the name of the restaurant. I think it was in Behinjska Bela.
SLOVENIJA is BEAUTIFUL
The thing about us is when we are talking to each other about Slovenia we allways talk about how bad is there but the moment that someone from abroad comes in we somehow find all the best things and claim that our things, our places and our food is the best.
thats the thing about you
How often do you talk about your first lady Melania?
@@ginty9041 i don't know about other places, but where i come from we don't really care about here. i mean it was talked about her a little bit in 2016, but that's all
Your country is the best.
Switzerland of the East (-:
You have everything - mountains, sea, forests, clean cities and nice people.
Let keep it that way
We hope to at least spend a few days in Slovenia 🇸🇮 on our trip to Italy after covid. It looks beautiful.
Absolutely worth a trip - I went from Venice to Ljubljana (is that the craziest concoction of letters you have ever seen!), it was only four hours on a bus from Venice but a whole new world. And then an easy day trip to Lake Bled which is utterly superb.
Hvala for another Slovenija video. 🇸🇮❤️😁 BTW, that Slovenian pride extends out even to the diaspora living abroad.

SLOVENIJA IS WONDERFUL
My dad is so proud of Slovenian mountains and nature and so on that when my Catalan friend visited, she thought he was a dangerous nationalist because of how he was saying it. I had to explain that our pride is coming from an opposite place to some overly fasist countries, as we8vr always been small, always occupied by someone else, a nation of farmers, so learning to love what we do have is very much of self-preservation and finally having our own country.
Nothing wrong in having pride in your country ...
Absolutely zero problem with nationalism.
A lot of crystal is made in Slovenia, speaking of quality products made there.
As a Slovenian, i really recomend visiting lake Bled. I spent so much time there with my family, i also have some family like 10mins away from the lake. Its so beautifull
Is late April a good time to visit 🤔
@@brizzle3903 perfectly fine. If you go during the winter ur gona have the snowy ideal, and basicaly any time of the year its stunning.
What is easiest way you can go there without renting a vehicle. Is there an early morning bus from Ljubljana and late return? Will want to spend as much time here as possible time there as possible. Will be there mid-May.
Slovenia looks dope. I can't believe people sleep on going there. I couldn't go there because I wouldn't want to leave
Don't worry, living there does get annoying after a while :)
Yeah i am slovenian and one thing i have to say above the swans thet live in the lake bled are superrrr mean:,)
The motorcycle magazines rave about the wonderful mountain roads in the Julian Alps. The coastal roads of Croatia are said to be beautiful too. Would love to ride there.
just expect heavy traffic in the coastal region anywhere around summer
Best motorcycle exhausts are also from Slovenia-Akrapovic
Would not recomend going during the summer. Instead of some pittoresque drive you would get stuck in traffic jam for hours
Bruce...search Vršič pass...there is super mountain road. Also Mangartsko sedlo.
@@boyan64 I just watched a couple of videos of Vršič pass and Mangartsko sedlo (Mangart Saddle). Wow! what beautiful scenery! The Vršič pass' hairpin turns are cobblestones; I assume they would be slippery in the rain. Of these two roads, the Mangartsko sedlo seemed the most spectacular on video. I will have to visit Slovenia's Julian Alps and the Adriatic Coast.
Svi mi iz bivse Jugoslavije jako volimo nasu dragu Sloveniju. Krasna zemlja sa krasnim ljudima. Pozdrav iz Bosne.
I Bosna je ljepa.
Naravno.🙂@@boyan64
As a Slovenian expatriate who has lived abroad for almost 15 years, I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. Your portrayal of Slovenia is exceptional and beautifully captures our country's essence. I especially laughed about the emphasis on our sense of pride! It couldn't be more accurate-funnily enough, I never noticed it was so strong until I moved abroad! And yes, we have been recycling for nearly 40 years! Ha ha. One additional aspect that holds great importance to us Slovenians is our cherished 47-kilometer coastline along the Adriatic Sea. It is so tiny, but Slovenians often bring this up in conversations.
thank you Karmen :) i am glad i could do you proud :)
Thank you soooo much for this video! As a Slovenian! ❤
Excellent report
We too loved Slovenia!
Thanks for video. You are welcomed also to see others destination. Bled, Postojna and Ljubljana are more commercial ones. I miss here Ptuj, Maribor, Celje, Novo mesto...you have made first step with tourist places. So, next time check other places. Peace.
What about the coastal area and the sea? :)
You can gu from sea to ski area in 1.5h :)
Absolutely gorgeous country and people. I travelled solo and on local buses and trains. Wished I had a rental car to get off the beaten track. But you are right about the cost, certainly have to prepare for the expense, was quite shocked! Came from Venice and Ljubljana was more expensive to eat out than Venice! But I did have the most incredible prawn pasta in my life in Ljubljana, it was unreal (but at Euro 40 it had to be!). Lake Bled and surrounds was incredible and I did not find it overpriced for the value provided in food and accommodation - Air BnB under Euro 100 per night. The Vintgar Gorge walk is an absolute must. Will definitely plan to visit again, I think two weeks with a rental car would be amazing.
I'm glad you had a great time in our country. And yes definitely go for the rental car on your next visit, there are so many places you could visit and even just the drive in the countryside is extremely rewarding (I do recommend a drive trough Triglav national park or a visit to Logar Valley in summer or early fall). Hahaha, well I really hope that was the best pasta of your life, because 40€ for a single dish is absolutely ridiculous. It seems you managed to find the single most expensive restaurant in the city. Even 30€ for the full meal (3 courses and a glass of wine) is kind of on the expensive side.
@@matejmahkovic Ha ha! Thanks for your reply. To clarify, the best prawn pasta in my life also came with half bottle of wine included in the Euro 40, so not too crazy!
Thank you! It looks lovely, and the people look lovely too!
Glad you had nice experience and thank you for visiting us and put noce word about us.
