- Watch the full episode: • The Best of Slovenia Being the midpoint between 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.

![LJUBLJANA SLOVENIA: Europe's PRETTIEST Capital?? 🇸🇮 [Ljubljana Things To Do]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/mMG6E87g5BA/mqdefault.jpg)
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.
Ljubljana is like this video shows ... a Belgian living in Slovenia
Peace and love for all
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 :)
my beautiful country
I'm from Ljubljana, and I just love it, you are welcome to come here, it is really beautifull :)
We love Plecnik! Made Ljubljana so pretty
My beautiful home town
OUR beautiful home town
Ljubljana is beautiful city
A beautiful city. Looks so prosperous!
I live in Slovenia and our main city is amazing.
Maravillosa Eslovenia
what a beautiful and unique city. classic and stylish but also laidback and comfortable. i would love to get down to southern europe sometime.
Southern Europe?
I'm shocked that we never knew how beautiful Slovenia is! It's now on our list of 'must-sees'!
I live in Slovenia and I LOVE,love my home.....=)
I
slovenia is beautiful. i would like to have friends from slovenia
not only that but Plečnik was a renown architect of his time. being a proffessor in Vienna and even doing work in Prague
beautiful indeed
LJUBLJANA ❤️ SLOVENIJA 🇸🇮
so beautiful
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.
Thanks very interesting
love this presentation!
Končno nekaj pozitivnega o naši državi :)
THANKS A LOT FOR THIS MUSIC 😘😘
Interesting!
Oh wow, beautiful city.
Capital city of my country :)...nice job !!! :)
Howdy Rick; thanks much.
thank you (hvala)
Thank you for posting the video!
hvala!
Of all the European cities I have visited, this was my favorite.
my country i live in kočevje every one loves slovenia
Ricky I will be visiting Ljubljana for first time in December, i am looking forward to have a good time.
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.
V bistvu je 280.000 bližje številki 300.000 kot pa 250.000 ;)
its tru belive me i live in ljubljana
nice
love from india
Almost like in the Prague, or Sofia. Nice town.
@Nels Jönsson central not southern :D
✌️🇸🇮
hehehe our vine Jerič
im from ljubljana
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.
Ljubljana is a nice city but it's not the only beautiful city in Slovenia!
How's the transportation system in Slovenia...planning to include this in my itinerary.
That actually depends where do you want to go... Overall its good.
Riiiickkk!
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.
Those streets are closed to cars
@MasterAsra you are welcome to visit us any time :)
The rents are not expensive at all. My friend found an apartment for maybe E45
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
DiegosHideout Ya Das ist Laibach!! OK so...Yeah its Ljubljana now... (sigh). And I've never been there... one day. One day I will.
Because those are all pedestrian zones.
It's funny to me how all native english speakers pronounce Ljubljana as Ljublijana lol
Slovenia is a beautiful country, Check out some of our genuine unedited photography of the countryside at our new Facebook page : Slovenify
there are not lot of streets in Ljubljana capital
It's Liabach!!
RickSteves come to belgrade!
Plecnik was the Slovenian Frank Lloyd Wright
pou kila :D
she is natalija
Miha skof be safe
I came here because of: LUKA DONCIC!
pol kile, pronounced "pou kile" is the only correct answer. Branjevka ne zna sklanjati.
2:09 - 2:20 when you realized you got scammed.
90% people don't know where slovenia is XD
the city is busy with students, but the students ain't busy
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?
and i must say,slovenia is one beautiful country
'Boring European' men also cannot provide for women nor their families that well. Did you know that?
no,thanks for the info
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.
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...
Ja tam boš dosti lepše živel...
Uradno ima 280.000 prebivalcev, tko da so podal bolj točno cifro kot ti...
Hahahah ok i live here and he is a man not joza but joze
Neat history, but how's the nightlife, Steve?
Well the nightlife can be pretty good, allthough not everyday , you have to know that it's a relatively small country and even in Ljubljana the biggest city, most parties happen on the weekend and during the week the city is relatively quiet, at least as far as parties are concerned.
jernej tojersu Ahoj, cau I am English but speak Slovak, will people be offended if I speak to them in Slovak? I have never learnt Slovenian but understand a hell of a lot :) Ak rozumiete slovenscinu tak potom chcem povedat' Djakujem a nie boite sa ja nie som typicke anglican kto chce party kazdy den a byt kokot :) haha Slovenia ja krasna a jeden den budjem byvat' na slovenia ak mam rad :) Som ucitel za angliscinu a chcem povedat', je tu vela skoli za jazyki na slovenia ???
I hope you understand and could maybe help me with my questions. :) Hope you have an AWESOME day :)
I understood most of it but do you want to know if there is a school to learn slovenian? or to teach your language?
I mean there are a few private schools that specialize in languages in slovenia.
To teach English. :) it will be in a few years after I have taught in Korea but I would love to settle down and have a familly etc one day and I like Slovenia :) Maybe at the Universities. I teach Business English.
bumble2able Sure there are many schools where you could apply for a job and then settle down. Just do a little google search. The main universities in Slovenia are University of Ljubljana/Maribor/Koper then each university has many different faculties.. They have websites and everything. You can find all the information online.
SLOVENIJA SLOVENIJA sLOVEija I DONT CARE I LOVE IT
The square reminds me of Verona, IT.
OMG why i didn't see any cars in the street?
2:03 A true comrade 😂👍
