Ljubljana, the vibrant capital of Slovenia, is remarkably diverse, featuring a perfect blend of old Europe and contemporary style. Since the country joined the EU in 2004, tourists have been discovering what is one of the continent's most charming capitals.

 

Although famed Slovene architect Jože Plecnik shaped the core of how the city looks and feels, Ljubljana has also been heavily influenced by other nations over the centuries, including Hungary, Austria and Italy.
These eclectic influences permeate many aspects of city life including its food and drink, which makes enjoying an Italian-style ice cream as much part of the Ljubljana experience as savouring some hearty Hungarian goulash or drinking a cold pilsner.
Legend has it that Ljubljana was founded by the Greek hero, Jason, who arrived with his Argonauts seeking the Golden Fleece.
The business future for Ljubljana looks bright partly due to its strategic location, with easy access through a rapidly improving network of motorways to Austria, Italy, Hungary and Croatia, as well as easy access to Slovenia's own Adriatic port of Koper, which give it an importance and potential above its modest size. It is also crucially the capital of an EU member state with direct access to the untapped economies of the Balkan region, and gained kudos by becoming the first of the new EU members to hold the EU presidency in 2008.
