A beautiful day to visit Slovania’s capital city with its car free center.Architect Jože Plečnik shaped Ljubljana in the 1920’s, and it now recognized as a UNESCO, for his Human Centered Urban Design.This is a city designed for strolling and just enjoying the ambiance.We appreciated the details, like the lamps on the bridge. We imagine this would also be intriguing at night.Gorgeous buildings – this designed by another architect around 1907.A detail of the door at the Union Hotel.We are the first to sit for lunch at this outdoor cafe –Druga Violina – great local food that we thoroughly enjoyed!We also took in the City Museum to learn more about Slovenia. History from Neolithic Pile Houses in the nearby marshes, Celts, Romans, various dynasties, changing borders, to the vibrant country it is now.We walked around the town again, found some of the old Roman sites, and enjoyed people watching.Of course we needed to try some gelato! Raspberry and strawberry were both excellent.Ha – even a bit of rock ‘n roll. English is spoken by all we encountered – it is the common tourist language – right down to the music.
