15 days my flight leaves, so excited.
Thank you for visiting Slovenija Ljubljana 🎉❤😊🎉❤❤🎉😊
Our pleasure!
Ahhhh.....I loved Slovenia. They are so eco-friendly. I loved the outdoor libraries!
Yes, we loved how eco-conscious they were too! We didn’t get to experience the outdoor libraries but it is an interesting concept!
Haha, yes, our traditional food was not made for pleasure. Since we have long winters and were for a long time very poor/farming country (without much trade, unlike other European countries) most produce was made with a purpose to last through the winter. Hence a lot of the food is sour/pickled. That being said, now that taste is in our blood, so we like it :) Great video!
Oh, that makes sense! Thanks for explaining it so thoroughly to us. We loved visiting your country!
When in Slovenia, it is a must that I have their take on fried chicken (ocvrta kura). It is inspired by the Austrian ‘Backhendl’. Together with ‘tenstan krompir’, a succulent potato dish made in the pan. And I have an Union beer with that. Not sour at all…
Hi. I am planning to study in slovenia. Could you please say the availability of part time jobs in slovenia.. 🙏
@@amalscariajose9926 we actually have an organisation dealing with finding work for students.
How can i contact you
llubjiana wasn't on my list of places to visit but it definitely is NOW. The architecture looks amazing.
It’s such a nice place! You’ll love it!
Thanks for sharing all the details. Very helpful
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy Slovenia!
✌️🇸🇮 Slovenia
We love a free walking tour when we arrive in a new city, it’s a great way to shake away the travel fatigue and get acquainted with a new place!
The city looks so beautiful and full of history and cool buildings, the food looked pretty interesting even if a bit sour. Love when a place completely exceeds expectations and this city looked so diverse and affordable 🤩
It is affordable relatively speaking compared to Western Europe however Slovenia wound up being the most expensive country on our Balkan tour. Another surprise prices got lower and lower the further South went!
If you want to know what kind of country Slovenia is, you couls watch on Yt Geography Now! Slovenia.
Wow, Slovenia really does look gorgeous! The free walking tour sounds like a great idea - I love how it is free too. I especially love visiting local markets! Always great when a place has been recommended to you by a local guide! The local food looks interesting. Did you choose the most authentic dishes on the menu? 2.50 for wine is a great reason to have wine at lunch - I would so do the same! The sausage would have been my favourite thing too, haha.
Yes that was the most traditional thing on the menu. It was a fun experience! The food was good quality just not our particular taste.
Thats a top quality production! Best wishes.👍🙌❤
Wow, thanks so much! We really appreciate the kind comment! Thanks for watching and happy travels!

Happy New Year Jim! Wishing you all the best and many more travels in 2022.
@@LucasWorldTravel Thanks! My wife and I being 61 & 62 will stay away from air travel until things settle down more. We had bought a camper van in 2020 and plan to drive to eastern Canada in summer 2022 and hopefully return through the northern US. We are in Calgary. For now I still have an archive of video from past trips. All the best to you both!

Many thanks! You’ll love Ljubljana! It’s such a charming city! Enjoy your trip!
Lovely video. It's a really beautiful city. And, congrats on hitting 2K!!
Many thanks! What a way to start the New Year!
Wow! I’ve seen very little from Slovenia and it looks BEAUTIFUL! Look at those mountains 😍 Loved the market, looks like it’s a scene out of The Sound of Music almost haha and I also love the honesty of your 4 out of 10 meal score 😂 way to go out of your comfort zone and still try it all though.
Ha! Yes the food was not our cup of tea, but we still enjoyed the experience and loved the country!
when was this video taken? it looks like a nice weather there! Ljubljana looks beautiful, I love to try the river cruise and kayaking, and I like to taste their food specially the soap you've ordered.
This was filmed in September and we had great weather. I wish we tried kayaking the river that would be a cool experience!
Thanks for the vid. I'm going to Slovenia next week and looking forward to it👌
Awesome! You’ll love Slovenia! Happy travels!
Thank you for showcasing you lovely visit! I hope to visit Slovenia one day! I thoroughly enjoyed your clean succinct editing and insightful voice overs! You guys are amazing
Aww, thanks so much for your kind words Mandy! We really appreciate it. You’ll love Slovenia!! It was one of our favorites! Happy travel planning!
Really enjoyed this video, Llubljana looks beautiful! The walking tour looked very informative. We love pickled food, so maybe we’ll enjoy the local cuisine 😅 Love how the city lights up at night. Those bicycles is such a clever idea! We’d definitely make use of those.
The river cruise also seems like a great activity.
Love your colourful accommodation 😊
Thanks guys! Ljubljana is beautiful and colorful! We highly recommend!
Nice video I am also in Slovenia it's realy nice
Awesome! Great place!
Wow what a great episode! We have never thought about visiting there more than a couple days as we didn't know how much you could do there. I love free walking tours! I also love soup, it looks so good. I love sour food (I eat raw lemons lol) can't believe you walked more, but the castle seems to be worth the visit
If you like sour, that soup might be for you! Yes, Ljubljana has small city center yet we spent 4 nights there and managed to fill all our time. We loved the country especially Bled and Piran too. We highly recommend!
This is traditional SLO food, but we mostly eat it at the wintertime.
I see! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video, what beauty. Thanks for all the info.
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and happy new year!
Fun to see Ljubljana again; we were there almost 3 years ago! We really liked Dragon Bridge--April knows the names of each of the 4 dragons, lol. 😉😁 Was that a local wine you tried? We actually really liked that stew! We appreciate that they are so bicycle friendly there. Neat that your lodging has a glassed-in porch. We stayed at a hostel there and it was so fun!
Yes, it was a local Slovene wine and very delicious. Impressive that you know all the dragon’s names April. You’re the true mother of dragons!
We loved the wine in Slovenia, Croatia and Bulgaria the most in that region! So good. LOL, we are actually watching that show right now...April says thank you for the compliment! 😂😊
Great video guys.
Loved your edit😁
Many thanks! We try to improve with every video!
Hello Sapphire, how're you doing?
Fantastic video, thanks so much for all your hard work. Do you mind sharing how far your accommodation was from the old town and possibly a link to where you booked it? Thanks so much!
Thanks! This one was about a 15-20 minute walk to the center. www.booking.com/Share-ml0mWkt
Hey guys, it looks like spending some time here really was worth it! I am not sure what I would think of the traditional food 🤨 but would definitely be interested in at least trying it 😊 we look forward to your next stop in Slovenia!
Yes, the food is worth a try! It was an interesting experience at least!
Okay, so, Slovene guy here, the stew they had is called jota (yota), when you eat it you're supposed to put the bread in it and usually the sausage is sliced and put in there aswell. It balances out the sour taste of the cabbage and makes it a delicious, hearty meal for the winter time, it's the stew of western Slovenian child nostalgia, when your nona (grandma) used to make it for sunday lunches in the winter. I'm actually shocked that they weren't that impressed with our food, most foreigners i've met like it :D
What cell phone carrier did you use during your time there? I plan to use my cell phone GPS/Google Maps Navigation to help me navigate throughout the country as I travel by car.
We use Google FI which includes international data when you travel.
👍🇸🇮
I've heard such great things about this city and have wanted to go. I liked your honest review of the food but also comparing it to the type of food you like. I'd probably enjoy it because I do like sour foods. The scenery there is beautiful and I'd love to do that walking tour of the city. How long do you recommend staying in the city?
3-4 nights would be good. We pretty much slept our first day there due to jetlag, so if you get jetlaged like we do schedule 4 days is probably best.

Hello there...
I am from Canada and am planning to move to Phuket Thailand in the near future to persue Muay Thai
How was you experience there?
Is it worth living in that part of Thailand?
How were you treated there as foreigners?
Any dos and dont’s you could tell me?
@@thesurgeon6713 We really loved Phuket and since you want to learn Muay Thai you should get an education visa to stay in the country longer to learn it. Phuket really has a lot to offer. Check out this video to see why we loved Phuket! th-cam.com/video/e3KczH931vc/w-d-xo.html
@@LucasWorldTravel
Hello there...
are you sure you can do that?
Getting a education visa for Muay Thai?
I want to be able to stay in the country for 6 months to a year when I travel there in the future
@@thesurgeon6713 Yes, we've had friends who got education visas for a year for learning Muay Thai so it's definitely possible. Just google muay Thai education visa phuket to learn more.
Very good and healthy and successful years and cheers 🥰🙏💞🙋🧞
Many thanks and happy New Year to you too!
Hi
I'd appreciate it if you watch it on my channel.
90👍bom dia amigo parabéns pelo vídeo acompanho o seu canal do Brasil 🇧🇷
Que bom que gostou do vídeo! Obrigado por assistir!
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos - they are such a blessing when it comes to planning! I was wondering if you could tell me if there was something special you had to organise to do the Puppet Theatre (to play with the puppets)? Or is that just included in the museum entry? Thanks! P.S I couldn't see on the websites it mentioning anything about specifically playing with the puppets so that's why I thought I would check with you. Cheers!
The puppet museum is part of your Ljubljana Castle ticket admission. And you can play with the puppets as long as you want once you enter the exhibit. Enjoy Ljubljana!
Great and informative video! What drone do you use for this air pictures?
We use a DJI Mini, but honestly most of our drone shots are stock footage from Storyblocks.
Good video thanks! I would have liked to have known the restaurant prices, though🙂
Good suggestion! We’ll try to do that!
Pls what’s the chances of getting admission to study in Slovenian and schools to apply for Bsc please
Unfortunately we don’t know anything about schools in Slovenia. You should be able to search for that on TH-cam though.
for those looking to retire here from non EU contries, the path to retirement visa is very difficult due to health care requirements. Better check it ...
Which month were you there?
In September.
Lovely place how long did you take to visit the city?
We took two full days, but it is possible to see it all in 1 day. The walking tour and the castle are the real highlights.
@@LucasWorldTravel thank you
We took two full days, but it is possible to see it all in 1 day. The walking tour and the castle are the real highlights. Also taking a day trip to see the Predjama Castle and the caves is also worth doing.
How long was the walking tour please?
@@davidabela9130 About 2 hours
So I've been to the Czech republic and remember it when it was czechoslovakia - so this inspired me to google to see exactly where was slovania and was it anywhere near slovakia - lol
We understand! We are still foggy on the geography of this region as well. No, it was never associated with Slovakia from what we can tell. It used to be part of Yugoslavia though and just got their independence in 1991, so they are still a fairly new country.
@@LucasWorldTravel Ahhhh - see that's like that same thing that happened with czechoslavakia - I remember all of the old country names...still catching up with the new names...LoL
@@LucasWorldTravel Slovenia is new country, but first our country was estaablished in 7th century and was conquered by Charlemagne in 8th century. After that was part of Holy Roman empire until first Yugoslavia has arised.
Wow, nice!
