10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Ljubljana That You Shouldn't Miss

November 13, 2021 Brandee Mangan

Slovenia, wedged between Austria and Italy, has always been proud of its unique heritage. The capital, Ljubljana, is a perfect example of this blend of German, Mediterranean, and Slovenian culture. The old town is a blend of Baroque, Renaissance, and Art Nouveau buildings, watched over by a medieval castle. Cut through the gardens of Tivoli Park to the National Museum of Contemporary History for a history of modern Slovenia, featuring crumbled statues of Stalin and a recreation of a WWI trench.

Roundabout Travel

Personal approach, flexibility and professionalism have made top rated tour specialist based on guests’ reviews. From small groups in our vans exploring Slovenia above and beyond, we have come a long way. The small groups stayed, but the variety of tours and experiences outgrew our best hopes and expectations. And so there came more groups, more tours, more excitement, bigger challenges! With dedication and hard work we have turned our services into unique travel experiences and succeeded in achieving the largest market share in the Slovene incoming tourism business for individual travelers. Like back in the good old days, we still feel extremely privileged not to say honored, to be able to share such a beautiful piece of Earth, Slovenia and its neighboring area, with the rest of the world.
