Food Scene

Pizzeria Parma: this the first pizzeria opened in Ljubljana. As such, it still operates an electric oven and the recipe hasn’t changed for more than thirty years. The pizzas are small (as they used to be in the old times) but they are thicker and richer with ingredients. The "right" way is to order it with an egg on top of the pizza. Make sure you order the legendary blueberry juice together with your pizza. Time to Pizzeria Parma from our Magic Blue City Centre Getaway: 20 min walk, 10 mi by bike.

This is one of the restaurants in Ljubljana with the longest tradition. Also, this is not a crowded place that is a big plus, especially during the summer season. They stick to what they know best: seafood at cheap prices and ….the “schnitzel”. Yes, it sounds like a weird combination, but this is what they do best. This place hasn't much from the late 70’s but don’t let this plain looking place fool you. The food is delicious, and constantly so. In the summer, you can use a nice terrace outside. Time needed to get from our Magic Blue City Centre Getaway apartment the Operna Klet : 15-20 min walk, 10 min by bike. If you are somewhere near the Prešeren Square, it will take you only 5 min along the Čopova and Cankarjeva Street.

Asian Fusion food with a Slovenian twist. This is a little hideaway right in the heart of the city but hidden from the crowd. It has a covered inner yard and a secluded garden during summer.

This restaurant, built in 1847, with aged timber floors and different rustic-styled rooms is located in one of the most picturesque and photogenic streets.

ODPRTA KUHNA. Loved and visited by locals and tourists, this is our family’s favorite Friday’s destination in Ljubljana. Odprta Kuhna (transl. “Open Kitchen”) is a essentially a food market where you can experience freshly cooked food prepared by different Slovenian chefs right there in front of you, on the market stalls. Of course, you can also taste the best Slovenian wines and beers and enjoy the feeling of a laid back atmosphere. TIP: It can get a bit crowded in the evening, especially during summer. If you don’t like crowds, I recommend visiting Odprta Kuhna earlier in the day. Grab a quick lunch or an early afternoon snack and you’ll enjoy the feelings just the same. Central Market, Fridays, 11:00-21:00 In case of bad weather, the market may be cancelled. Admission: FREE (just pay for food & drinks). Time to Pogačarjev trg from our Magic Blue City Centre Getaway apartment: 10 min walk, 5 min by bike.

The squares' Prešeren Monument depicts the greatest Slovenian poet, France Prešeren (1800-1849), and the muse of poetry holding a spring of laurel above his head. The poet's statue is symbolically faced by the statue of Julija Primic, his great love, mounted on the fasade of a building located across the square, in the Wolfova Street. In the aftermath of the devastating earthquake of 1895 the square saw the building of several beautiful bourgeois palaces as well as refurbishments in the Art Nouveau style like for example the Hauptman House and the building of Urbanc House (today high end shopping mall Galleria Emporium), one of Ljubljana's most beautiful Art Nouveau buildings, which also housed the city's first department store.

Rising above the western end of the Tivoli Park are the series of small wooden hills grouped around the 390-m (1,285 ft) high Rožnik hill, a popular destination for weekend walkers. There are numerous trails starting right within the Tivoli Park. All trails are very well marked and you can't get lost as you will meet locals jogging or hiking up or down the hill all the time. Depending from your pace, you can start feeling a little heart beat but the reward is great. At the top there's a Church of Visitation and a legendary Gostilna Rožnik (Roznik Inn), where Ivan Cankar, a famous Slovenian writer, lived between 1910 and 1917. In the cool shade of the oak trees you can have lunch or just a drink. There's a funny story about Ivan Cankar living in this place. The inkeeper's wife Stefanija Franzotova, was a childhood friend of Cankar's, and offered a writer free use of an attic room in the hope that his presence at the inn would bring in more sophisticated guests. The impoverished Cankar's appetite for free food and drink soon took it's toll on his friendship with the inkeeper's family, and so the writer was eventually persuaded to move out. He was given the former barn, opposite the inn, which is now the Ivan Cankar Memorial Room (open to public). The room still preserves his writing desk and other posessions of the writer. Time to Tivoli Park (from where you can hit any hiking trails to Rožnik) from our Magic Blue City Centre Getaway apartment: 20 minutes walk, 10 minutes by bike. Then, it will take approx. 30-45 minutes to reach the top, depending from your pace. If you don't mind cheating a little and prefer easier walking, ask for the directions to the Gostilna Čad (great minced meat there, oak trees shade) and use the easy road from there, leading you straight to the top (15 min easy walk from there).

Rising above the western end of the Tivoli Park are the series of small wooden hills grouped around the 390-m (1,285 ft) high Rožnik hill, a popular destination for weekend walkers. There are numerous trails starting right within the Tivoli Park. All trails are very well marked and you can't get lost as you will meet locals jogging or hiking up or down the hill all the time. Depending from your pace, you can start feeling a little heart beat but the reward is great. At the top there's a Church of Visitation and a legendary Gostilna Rožnik (Roznik Inn), where Ivan Cankar, a famous Slovenian writer, lived between 1910 and 1917. In the cool shade of the oak trees you can have lunch or just a drink. There's a funny story about Ivan Cankar living in this place. The inkeeper's wife Stefanija Franzotova, was a childhood friend of Cankar's, and offered a writer free use of an attic room in the hope that his presence at the inn would bring in more sophisticated guests. The impoverished Cankar's appetite for free food and drink soon took it's toll on his friendship with the inkeeper's family, and so the writer was eventually persuaded to move out.
